Lets see day in the life of a SM: Up at the buttcrack of dawn, morning prayer, training, midday meal, midday prayer, more training, evening prayer, evening meal, night training, sleep. Rinse, repeat, everyday till you die.

Day in the life of SW: wake up, drink, feast, go fight a bit, plunder, drink, feast, drink, find more people to fight, drink, drink, feast, drink, feast on drinks, sleep. Rinse, repeat forever!

I dunno, I guess SM has its appeal to uptight people. Me personally, I take the feasting and drinking with some casual violence anyday.

True for the Dark Angels at least.

My only complaint was that they didn't inculde the 13th company some how in the latest codex or at least updated but I still think the SW are cool.

So pretty damn cool.

Well put. I love Space Wolves because the codex emphasizes fluff and story translated into game stats. With Sagas , and 4 HQ choices , the play on old north gods , Lukas = Loki ,Arjac = thor all they are missing is some kegs of fine fenris ale to be attached to their tanks.

they should be, they're beardy space vikings....but they're not cool. i think its the colour of their armour... there is nothing cool about baby blue

Which is why I'm painting mine grey. I can't stand the the robin's egg blue that GW calls Space Wolf Grey

Thor+Werewolf+Space Marine Armor= Badass

Pirates are better.... better than even, YES, ninjas!

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!!

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.

Sorry to go OT, but this is so sig-worthy it's unbelievable .

I have always hated space wolves more than any other chapter. In second edition, they were better than regular marines in every way without any disadvantages. I am amazed that the new codex wasn't written by space wolves fan andy chambers since it is pretty much the same as second edition again. I also hate them for their fluff. Drink and fight blah blah blah uninteresting. Pretty boring without much character at all. Just like the fantasy dorf stereotype. Yuck. At least in a short story in "Let the Galaxy Burn" we learn that space wolves eat their own poop. See Page 79.

They are the coolest chapter out there in the 40k universe.
If you have the models, go for it.

From a fluff/attitude perspective I like them a heck of a lot more than any other official chapter. If I did start an SM army I'd probably go with another group though, there are a lot of SW armies out there.

I don't like Space wolves because they just look and sound silly wearing leather jackets and thet probably got nits! Chaos is better fluff wise and looks plus the Horous Heresy is awsome!!

The first part is indeed cool. The second part: not so much...

You can take a furry, get him drunk and put him in power armour and he's still just a furry.

SW are lame

the only thing they are good at is not following instructions

which is wierd for a pack of mongrels

I don't see a problem with that.

cool avatar, btw.

I heard that Space Wolves have a weakness to being slapped in the nose with a newspaper.

When i started, i had a friend who never played the game, but has literally owned every rule book, and every codex. He threw enough books at me that i had thought i was going to be crushed to death. After sitting for about a week, listening to the fluff of other armys, i made my choice.

See i really like Wolves. And i really like vikings. And i like shamanistic magics. Annnnnd well, there we go. my Choice was da wolves. And i have loved it ever since then.


FOR RUSS AND THE ALL FATHER!

I would have to say i dislike them, but only cause I love the Thousand Sons :p

They are Vikings in space..... Whats not to love?

This is what my group would call an ecceptable Escuse

I started playing back in 2nd edition, my first introduction to this game was actually an old GW catalog and a white dwarf magazine, The catalog had information on new releases....
Codex: Space Wolves
Codex: Eldar
Codex: Orks
Coming soon, new multi part plastic kit for the Leman Russ Main Battle Tank
Coming soon, Eldar Jetbikes

both the catalog and the magazine had some pictures of the new Space Wolves minis, and Bjorn the Fell Handed sold me. Bjorn was the first Warhammer 40k model I bought, and I still have/use him to this day.
