Let's greentext some Space Wolf fluff! >One of the trefoil Legions >Recruited from the most barbarically regressive Terran populations on case-by-case basis, not from a specific geographic area >Trained supervised personally by the Emperor's Strategos >Saw no open action whatsoever in Unification or Sol campaign, not unleashed until a decade into the Crusade >Even pre-Russ their modus operandi was just to start killing everything until the enemy surrendered >Legion Master was called Enoch Rathvin >Experts in hunter-killer, pursuit and punitive actions >Didn't adopt any livery at all apart from the twin flame, which they borrowed from the Discipline Masters and Provost Corps of the Army >Known to execute human allies who were shitters >Spoken of in the same context as the Night Lords in terms of lack of humane behaviour to others and the intemperate nature of their Legionaries. >Imperial command liked the XII Legio better, because while they were also butchers, at least they obeyed orders and conducted themselves with honour. >This is why they were called 'the Rout', which was a Terran term for pariah dogs; jackals. I'll do the Russ stuff in a bit. The SW section also says the Vth Legio and the IXth Legio had serious geneseed problems early on, which I don't know has been mentioned before? I'm finding it hilarious that Inferno is shitting on the wolves this hard. Like, their fluff is actually pretty cool, it's just the antithesis of the things that SW fans usually say they like about them.

Вообще-то, во второй: BULVEYE (cont’d): The other Great Companies are already on the ground. We will have some catching up to do…

>Imperial politics was put in upheaval by the Burning of Prospero, as exactly what the XV did to get erased wasn't clear >Some used it to say Horus was being undermined >Several of the Legions made close political and military alliances with each other in fear of what happened to the XVth happening to them and agreed to back each other up >It turns out the Space Wolves have a thing called the [черт]ing OMEGA CODEX which is How To Kill Space Marines by Leman Russ >He gave a copy to Horus >Everyone else found out >Every other Legion petitioned to the Emperor that it be destroyed >Except Curze, Alpharius and Ferrus, who wanted copies for themselves

>The later stage of the battle is basically the events of ATS >A warp storm appears on the surface, it bends space, time and probabilty. >For example, some witness reports mention officers in action who died earlier that day. >The narrator uses a statement made by a senior Sister as his basis of the Russ/Magnus fight, as everyone non-blank saw fantastical things >Everyone on the TS side inside the warp storm teleports out, including the Spireguard and civilians, not just the TS >The Imperium can't understand how that many people can teleport out-system at once and theorise that, if you sacrificed everyone else, the life energy would be enough to power the teleport of one man (ie Ahriman). >So there's this theory that Ahriman is the only actual living Thousand Son and literally everyone else are like, warp ghost creations of Tzeentch that he uses as part of his plan for Ahriman. Or something. >The numbers of confirmed TS survivors don't match the (greater) number of TS seen in the Heresy >Not all the TS get teleported off. There were two holdout bastions: >one went underground (but almost certainly all died, as the SW went after them), >the other stole 3 non-warp spaceships and ran the Imperial blockade. One ship got shot down, the other 2 (filled with TS, Spireguard and civilians) vanished from Imperial record. >The Sons of Horus contingent murdered the now-surrendering human forces. >Then the Censure Host glassed the planet again.

"+++"

>The Jarl of Eleven is the only Terran commander left in the SW, Eleven has a lot of Terrans in it. Как я и предсказывала В)

Moar Inferno bits I thought were interesting. >Spireguard suck, though have an elite unit called Spireguard Templars who have power axes >SW are *not* murdering indiscriminately (as long as you don't consider the original intent being to glass the planet I suppose), they let unarmed civvies run off >A random Imperial Army regt. puts up the best resistance to the SW before the TS arrive >The Order of the blind wear crimson and lapis blue. That shade of blue is the future TS blue. >Tizca has some kind of mini-Webway or something similar >Russ' original plan is terrible and fails immediately when the TS actually fight back. Valdor defies Russ' orders and comes up with his own plan, which turns the tide back against the TS. >Custodes have their own fighter plane called an Equinox. >Valdor still continues asking people to surrender even in the midst of the battle. >The TS sacrifice thralls and mind-rape prisoners to gain an intelligence advantage, they also 'mind-slave' some militia to fight on >Russ eventually authorises the use of Destroyer weapons and orders no stone, woman, or child is to be spared >The Sons of Horus contingent spends the battle wandering the streets kidnapping powerful civilian psykers, murdering ones who aren't of use. >Legio Mortis get their shit pushed in by the Zhao-Akkad >The Jarl of Eleven is the only Terran commander left in the SW, Eleven has a lot of Terrans in it. >One of the TS force sword cult guys actually manages to wound Valdor There's transcription errors in the fluff as well as the rules, sadly. There's a passage where the Ammitara are described, and seems to actually mean for them to be the Khenati.

In just this one instance so far, yes. The narrator says civilians were blocking access to the gate of the main Spireguard fortress wanting to be let in and the soldiers didn't know what to do and were panicking. Then he says Russ arrived and attacked the gate personally. Then he reproduces the SW saga version that describes Russ opening the gates, surveying the carnage and judging it good. Then it cuts back to the narrator describing the Spireguard freaking out and opening fire and the surviving civilians being cut down. So, it goes to careful lengths to not specifically say that Russ just rushed a gate under cover of the soldiers not wanting to fire on their own people, crushed or battered to death a load of civvies and ripped the gate open - but that's clearly what he did. Because the Imperial narrator doesn't want to say that, he uses the SW version, which makes it sound like some mythic event.

http://boards.4chan.org/tg/thread/51923270#p51928080 To recap things wot Inferno fluff tells us that I have read so far: >The Librarius was mostly the work of the Blood Angels, not the Thousand Sons; the TS bandwagoned it because it meant they could hide in plain sight. >The flesh-change began at the conquest of Bezant, which was a TS vs enemy psyker army mirror fight. One TS went spawn and got put down, the pre-Magnus TS commanders all agreed not to tell anyone of it in case they got disbanded. >The only thing Dorn and Pertuarbo could bring themselves to agree with each other on was that psykers were shit. >85% of The Outcast Dead and Lone Wolf just got retconned >Horus' message to Russ was carried by a SoH commander, who brought with him his company and some Legion Mortis engines. >Valdor was not happy with Russ for wanting to kill not capture, and argued with him about it the entire time they were supplying. Valdor didn't get anywhere because Russ outranked him. >Valdor had brought remembrancers with him, Russ sent them away >Magnus really did keep everyone in the dark, the people of Prospero were completely taken by surprise >Russ finally agreed to issue a demand for surrender before he pushed the button marked launch de missiles, he waited for an hour but got no response. Valdor again tried to get him to change his mind about killing Magnus, Russ didn't go for it. I can only imagine there's stuff later about how the TS were having mind orgies with daemons on something, because this fluff is making the SW look like total fannies.

ОРГАНИЗАЦИЯ ТЫСЯЧИ СЫНОВ: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/3...tion/?p=4666683 So the nine Fellowships appear to mostly float around the 8-9K mark each. Below that were the Circles, which varied in size from a handful of squads to hundreds of warriors. Their numbers and makeup varied widely due to weird ritual stuff and they weren't organised in a 1st company, 2nd company manner, e.g. Circle Iaed-9 was set at 512 warriors organised into squads of either 16, 9 or 7 warriors. It's bizarre and mention is made of a 'spiral pattern'. Individual squads were also called Chantries. The number of circles within a fellowship changed and varied, as did their makeup. It's pretty clear though that rank and status also varied depending on your standing within one of the cults and other organisations, as did psychic ability vs veterancy, and how important a cult was to Magnus at the time (thinking here of the Corvidae waning early on in A Thousand Sons). Gets very complex. This is all after Magnus's 'pesedjet' reforms of the legion. There is also the order of ruin (logicians, siegemasters, warships), order of the jackal (dreadnoughts, apothecaries, khenetai occult blades) and order of the blind (infiltrators, maybe destroyers). Contrary to what was suspected, these were separate from the normal fellowships (not like the five main cults or the DA wings) but were attached to them sometimes. EDIT: Just checked though and mention is made of a terminator being part of the 1st circle of the 6th fellowship, a centurion leading the 5th fellowship's third tactical support battalion, an honour guard being part of 'the circle of Auramagma' (as a bodyguard, presumably), and a prominent primus-medicae being part of the legion apothecarion's 'Heroditine circle'. I think the term is meant to be ambivalent, certainly the overwhelming impression is one of immense complexity.

Нет. Он бросает вызов классификации!

Фанат AOS.

Сначала у нас стало два Альфария. Потом шесть Зверей. Потом миллиард Магнусов. Вархаммеру необходима "бритва Оккама".

Божечки святы... У Дринкера есть брат-близнец!!! :o https://disqus.com/by/disqus_r34gfwGcZI/

http://natfka.blogspot.ru/2017/02/rumored-...th-edition.html There has been numerous rumors that there are some big story line changes to Warhammer 40k. From Cypher killing Abbadon, or Guilliman communing or talking to the Emperor. A lot of this feels like speculation, but with the big changes that are happening in the current books, its hard to really say what is impossible. So please give this quite a bit of salt. Whatever is going on, we know that Cypher will be instrumental in the new plot line. via a source that wishes remain anonymous Roboute Guilliman will become the Emperor Incarnate, as the Emperor is destroyed and fragmented. Cypher will be at Guilliman's side. =|

Ура! Я так и знала, что Олаф спасся! =) Подплыла к "Змею" быстрая ладья, Славянской речью Олафа окликнув: "В шенеках скрыта смерть твоя, Спасайся с нами, ветру гикнув!"- "О, нет, друзья! Я с вами не пойду. Моя судьба всегда сражаться И от врага не побегу, С моей дружиной мне держаться!"- "Не уплывём мы без тебя, Лишь отойдём от места битвы. Да, не зайдёт твоя звезда! Враги, да будут здесь разбиты!"- "А что за склавская ладья?"- Спросили Олафа норвежцы - "Да это, русские друзья И за меня болит их сердце."

Феррус, Гор и Кёрз тоже умерли - и ничего :)

Подозреваю, что про II и XI напишут раньше, чем про Белых Шрамов =)

Эта часть флаффа уже настолько обесценилась, что определённость сделает её гораздо более ценной :)

Ага, Parnassius autocrator :)

А вдруг по Рангданским Ксеноцидам выпустят отдельную книгу? С бэком и цветовыми схемами II и XI легионов?

Офицер посчитал, что с камер-юнкером ей будет лучше :)
