Subject: The VI Legion and the Great Crusade.....

Wolf Guard Bodyguard in Terminator Armor

Posted this on another forum, but figured there is also a fair share of fluff nuts here as well.
I cannot recall reading about any worlds that the VI Legion peacefully brought into compliance. The only one that might have been would be Kaeriol (planned homeworld of the Wolf Brothers), however it isn't exactly said to have been.
All the current HH fluff just has the VI Legion coming in to wreck hell, but I would like to hear of any worlds that chose compliance over destruction when approached by the VIth or were they just brought into to destroy especially difficult non-compliant worlds.

Only thing I can think of is the short story 'Wolf at the Door' from the Tales of Heresy anthology. From Lexicanum:
A band of Space Wolves belonging to the 13th Great Company, which is traveling with the 954th Expeditionary Fleet, rediscover a planet which was previously hidden by Warp Storms. It is inhabited by humans, and is therefore to be brought into the fold of the Imperium. However, the planet is regularly raided by what the locals call "Harrowers" (Dark Eldar, Kabal of the Shrieking Heart). The Space Wolves battle to expel the raiders from the planet, but the end result is both unwanted and unexpected.

Thuyelsa – Space Wolves and Imperial Army (G9K) vs Xenos (Eldar: Thuyelsa Craftworld). (N.b. reference to the battle between Space Wolves and Eldar is called 'the Kobolt scrap' by the G9K member. Kobolt possibly nearest planet/system?) [Prospero Burns]

in Inquisitor, a Space Marine can take a krak grenade, pull out the pin, eat the grenade, throw the pin, and the thrown pin will actually kill a normal man, whereas the Space Marine won't even have indigestion. This has actually happened in a game. Hell, a marine can throw his bolt shells and do more damage than by shooting his boltgun |

Considering that your list begins with Antimon, you do know that Wolf at the Door ends with Bulveye decapitating some peeps and then ordering orbital bombardment right?
I am saying, I have never heard of any discovered world welcoming the VI Legion with open arms and eagerly wanting to join the Imperium. All I have read or seen is the VI being called in when a world is non-compliant and in serious need of destruction.

ADB: I showed the Wolves revealing the key weakness at the heart of the World Eaters; showing Angron that his Legion was broken and worthless compared to the others; that he was the one primarch who couldn't trust his own warriors, and that they didn't care if he lived or died; showing that loyalty to brothers and sons is the heart of success for the Legiones Astartes, to the point even Lorgar makes a big deal out of saying the World Eaters and their primarch were massively outclassed by Russ, and Angron was too stupid to see the lesson Russ had sacrificed time, sweat, and blood, to teach. We're talking about a battle the Wolves won, by isolating the enemy general through pack tactics, and threatening to kill him, without a hope of defending himself. It was a balance, 50/50 - Angron overpowered Russ, and the Wolves were losing ground to the World Eaters; but Russ and his warriors had Angron by the balls, and barely broke a sweat. They won, no question. Lorgar even says: "The Wolves won, meathead."
Dorn won’t help you either. He’s too busy being the Emperor’s groundskeeper, hiding behind the palace walls. The Wolf is too busy cutting off heads as our father’s executioner, while the Lion holds on to his secrets, and has no special fondness for you. Who else will come? Not Ferrus, certainly. Nor Corax either. Even as we speak, I suspect he flees for Deliverance. Sanguinius?’ Curze laughed cruelly. ‘The angel is more cursed than I. The Khan? He does not wish to be found. So who is left? No one, Vulkan. None of them will come. You are simply not that important. You are alone.’ Konrad Curze to Vulkan

Even if the Space Wolves got zero compliances without conquest, that wouldn't make them a statistical anomaly amongst the Legions of the Great Crusade. Considering thousands of worlds were brought to compliance, and we have probably single-digits worth noted as complying peacefully, this doesn't really say anything about how the Wolves did business relative to their brother legions.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

When people ask, "What's the point in understanding everything?" they've just disqualified themselves from using questions and should disappear in a puff of paradox. But they don't understand and just continue existing, which are also their only two strategies for life. |
