They didn't kill the Sisters at Armageddon, they killed the Militia they were fighting alongside. The Sisters fell back and reported the Flesh Tearers to the Inquisition. That piece of fluff predates Ward's 5th edition Codex, so you can't exactly blame that on him.

Which is why I said it was a stupid bit of fluff, unlike the quality writing by other writers, including Mat Ward.

Fixed that for you.

Maybe neither one should be allowed to write books anymore, actually.

Kelly? Perhaps.
Ward? I don't see why he shouldn't. Quite the opposite, reading Iyanden (and before that Necrons, etc..), he's probably among the very few that should.

So, I noticed that the Iyanden book is no longer available on GW's site; will this be available again?

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Yes it's like Death from the Skies,

They did a print run, it's sold out so now they'll do another one, it may take a few weeks but it will be back

I don't much like that bit of fluff in the SW codex, either, but at least with the Space Wolves it's not entirely unexpected. They're the most divergent of all the Space Marine chapters and have a reputation for being the most savage, barbaric, wild, etc. and they're also the most likely to give the finger to the Imperium's bureaucracy.

Wait, so Grey Knights (and Inquisition) using a bloody "the-ends-justify-the-means" approach to ... well .. stopping a massive Daemonic Incursion is wrong, but Space Wolves slaughtering other servants of the Imperium, unprovoked I might add, because, hey, they've always been the slightly rebellious ones is "not entirely unexpected"?

Really?

I know Space Wolves are often a bit rebellious, but going all-out World Eaters on thousands of dutiful Imperial servants without any good reason whatsoever is going a bit beyond that. It sits rather badly with established 40K lore in ways that Grey Knights doing "whatever's necessary" in a suitably grimdark manner to, at least, actually fight Daemons, is not. Not by a long shot.

Hell, just one page or so before the Wolves slaughter Sisters for daring to fly too close to Fenris, they've invited a large entourage of Eldar to have a feast with them in their large hall of Fenris!

But WAAAARRRRD! didn't write that. Try to keep up Z

Please keep this thread on topic.

Please feel free to start threads about Space Wolves, Grey Knights and SoB, etc. and discuss the various Fluff Implications of their interactions there.

Thanks!
