Iron Warriors = Chaos

Iron Hands = Imperium

not the smart ones.

If they are smart they won't try saddling up a German Shepherd!

Because super space wolves (x2) totally share the EXACT SAME bone structure/biology as our standard Terran wolves.

I ... I don't even know how to respond to that. Hatred and vitrol? I think you may be reading a bit too much into my posts. Perhaps I'll simply respond to the salient points.

Secondly I never discredited the use of fenrisian wolves, the wolves have always been a part of Space Wolf lore, however previously only wolf lords had the grit to actually tame them. Now you have Space Marines in POWER ARMOR which, as I recall is rather heavy, riding on the backs of wolves. <snip bio stuff>

You are seriously going to worry about biology in a game that features 8 foot tall men that can spit acid and have a second layer of skin designed to interface with a machine? Really? I mean, you've seen the art for this game. There are scribes that are literally bolted to their stations, men with floating robot skulls cybernetically linked to their brains and all manner of things in a world of fantastical science fiction, and you're going to worry about the biology of a wolf which is stated to grow large enough to rival an APC? I mean, the Rhino APC is designed to carry 10 Space Marines. You really think a wolf that big can't carry 1?

Now moving on to your money concerns, If you think that GW would have sold billions of Ragnar Blackmane models, had he been updated, then you have a very skewed idea of economics my friend. Now I know you are not simply basing you opinion on one model because you obviously have better things to do with your time than spit bitter fanboy hatred on a generally relaxed forum site, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. However even here you are wrong, as my good friend Laughing God has already stated, they updated almost the entire model line

You're telling me that if they had updated what is arguably one of the worst models in the line, that they wouldn't have made money off of him? I wasn't suggesting that he be the only model they updated, merely that if they wanted to make more money, they could have updated him along with the rest. They could have also released official TWC models, but that's neither here nor there

and gave them a codex which as far as psychic powers are concerned, gave a middle finger to every previous piece of fluff regarding their mistrust of "witchery".

How many editions now have Space Wolves had Rune Priests? Basically all of them? How is this codex any different? Because they got JotWW? This is about JotWW isn't it? Everyone loves to hate on JotWW. With my main opponent being Eldar, I haven't gotten that much use from it honestly :( If there's something else I'm missing, by all means please let me know.

...however GW has made a mockery of many of the finely crafted traditions and practices of that noble legion. I fervently hope that in the future they will return to the space faring vikings they once were.

I guess I'm not sure what, exactly, you think has made a mockery of "the finely crafted traditions and practices of that noble legion". They still have their own brand of initiation ritual, they still have the attitude that protecting the Imperium comes above all things, they still hold Leman Russ and the Emperor up as ideal warriors, they still value bravery, honor and strength, they still are at the forefront of the battle against the enemies of mankind. The only thing that this iteration of their codex really added was Thunderwolf mounts, new psychic powers and...? Wolf Claws?

oh and on an additional note, the blood Angels working with the Necrons is most certainly an absurd notion, however a man by the name of christ once said remove the plank from your own eye before you judge the splinter in anothers

Wasn't it, "Let he among you without sin cast the first stone"?

...and please save us all the time and don't write something absurd like 'they wud hav wun cuz theyz da bestist mahreens in da hol wide galaxy'

And this is, honestly, a little insulting. I've met every point you've posted with quotes from official sources of both fluff and rules. I've backed up just about every assertion I've made, as opposed to suggesting that GW was trying to get on the Twilight bandwagon; so please, practice what you preach?

He said both.
Unless you're trying to use that as a comeback or something in which case you need better ones.

Nope, just honestly never heard the first one before.

Another thread ruined by Jesus. Damn you Jesus!

I'd like to thank you all for your wonderful contributions to this thread, you've made this quite an outstanding thread, Trolling is a art

Brother Heinrich wrote:well since we're now simply arguing cool, I'll say that the Iron warriors are probably the best loyalist chapter in the Imperium.

You said Iron Warriors were a loyalist chapter. You're wrong. They are Chaos. Don't like to be corrected? Then check your post for accuracy.

I think he was saying that it Iron Warriors are so cool you can call them whatever you want, even if them being suddenly loyalist makes absolutely no sense.

So he caused his own thread to derail? And now wants to call people trolls?

I think he was revealing himself as a troll.

I feel dirty.

Lol WHOOOSH! that was the point... that thing that just flew over your head.

My lord, 7 pages of repetative hate mongering ending with that, thing of beauty really.

Max you are the worst kind of person.

...ZING



Ahhh love you space puppies and GOOD NIGHT FOLKS.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!!
