They're Space Vikings.

Do you need anything more as a motive?

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Yes. They have a great codex and some really nice models. They strike the balance of cool and silly/ridiculous that 40k has always had.

I played them before they were cool. I miss my Wolf Charms :(

They're the only kind of Space Marine pretty much all non-SM players like. I know a fair few fans of them that hate SM's in general. So yeah.

Grey Space Marines? They're pretty cool. The Grey Space Marines like to drink beer and wear a lot of leather. They also like hunting and fishing and riding Harleys and watching college football. They think the Blue Space Marines are wimps and question the lifestyle choices of the Green Space Marines. And they have super powers. No one knows why anyone plays anything but Grey Space Marines.

Yea... but their weakness is a thrown rubber ball... or a broken branch...*woof*.

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

To the OP: dont worry about what other people think about the army, GW does a good job of making all the armies pretty cool. Play what YOU like, and you will enjoy it.

If you are considering the Space Puppies, go for it, if you think that nids, or chaos, or IG are cooler, go for them, its up to you.

THE HORUS HERESY: Emprah: Hours, go reconquer the galaxy so there can be a new golden age. Horus: But I should be Emprah, bawwwwww! Emprah: Magnus, stop it with the sorcery. Magnus: But I know what's best, bawwwwww! Emprah: Horus, tell Russ to bring Magnus to me because I said so. Horus: Emprah wants you to kill Magnus because he said so. Russ: Fine. Emprah's always right. Plus Ole Red has already been denounced as a traitor and I never liked him anyway. Russ: You're about to die, cyclops! Magnus: O noes! Tzeentch, I choose you! Bawwwww! Russ: Ah well. Now to go kill Horus. Russ: Rowboat, how have you not been doing anything? Guilliman: . . . I've been writing a book. Russ: Sigh. Let's go. Guilliman: And I fought the Word Bearers! Horus: Oh shi--Spess Puppies a'comin? Abbadon: And the Ultramarines, sir. Horus: Who? Anyway, this looks bad. *enter Sanguinis* What are you doing here? Come to join me? Sanguinius: *throws self on Horus's power claws* Alas, I am undone! When you play Castlevania, remember me! *enter Emprah* Emprah: Horus! So my favorite son killed my favorite daughter! Horus: What about the Lion? Emprah: Never liked her. Horus: No one does. Now prepare to die! *mortally wounds Emprah*Emprah: Au contraire, you dick. *kills Horus* Dorn: Okay, now I just plug this into this and . . . okay, it works! Emprah? Hellooooo? Jonson: I did nothing! Guilliman: I did more nothing that you! Jonson: Nuh-uh. I was the most worthless! Guilliman: Have you read my book? Dorn: No one likes that book. Khan: C'mon guys. It's not that bad. Dorn: I guess not. Russ: You all suck. Ima go bring the Emprah back to life.

space wolves are like lesbians.

they are awesome in books/movies, but when you see them in real life, they are hairy, ugly, and leave you with a taste of vomit in your mouth.

They're just SMs of a light blue color.
Incidentally, the Russian word for 'light blue' is the same word they use for 'homosexual'. I'm not kidding.

You can't spell 'slaughter' without 'laughter'.
By the time they scream... It's too late.

Space Wolves have always been very popular. I remember back in 3rd edition when rhino rush was king, Space Wolves were one of the three most popular armies (BA & BT being the other two). They kind of took a dive in 4th in terms of popularity with the death of rhino rush but you still saw a good number of SW pod armies. 13th Company was by far one of my favorite armies ever.

The only thing about SW I am not a big fan of is the baby blue power armor... I really dig the grey a lot better. It's not a big deal though.

I have been playing Space Wolves since 1st edition. The only time I stopped was a couple of months after the 2nd edition Codex came out. It was because before it came out I was the only one, and then ¾ of the local armies were Space Wolves. This almost made me hate them.

But I better now.
