I propose Space Wolves from hence forth shall be known as "Space Storm Shields" as it seems as soon as someone is inducted to the chapter they're issued a combat knife, power armour, bolt gun. bolt pistol, and a storm shield.

Everyone and their pet car wolf they ride into battle has one.

Not even a good joke

Not even true either.

They actually pay more for Storm Shields than anyone else, so it doesn't really work on that level.

I would hope they pay more, afterall, I can't have a terminator with a storm shield standing at the front of all of my squads turning the game into slowhammer.

Sounds like someone got smacked by some TDA wolf guard.

Weird, what kind of combat unit would take precautions to live longer? How preposterous!

I haven't been smacked by Space Storm Shields any time recently. Putting on Terminator armor and grabbing a storm shield and walking in front of a squad, and marching around taking all the rounds for others doesn't sound like preserving life to me! It sounds like selfless heroism, but still like a waste of chapter resources and a quick shortening to life.

The real annoyance comes from Space Shield players who have to roll 1 die at a time, and then have luck crushing rolls. As a Dark Angel player with the Greenwing spam, and banner of Devastation, I really don't care about terminators. They eat bolt rounds until they explode.

Then whats the point of this thread?

That they're named the Space Storm Shields

All right, good luck with that.

Thanks, homie.

He fights someone who does it and now feels the need to complain about it to the Internet. You should feel special.
