I have listened and read the same stories over an over again for more than a decade now, but someone new narrates them again and I inmediata get excited to listen to the same story for the 89th time. In this particular case, as excited as a dog getting a treat. Let's goooo Vlka Fenryka
I wholeheartedly agree. I find myself always anticipating a new viewpoint from a skilled Remembrancer & Orator, both to experience anew the myths & legends I know, and to hear the events from a fresh perspective. There are a million, million worlds in the Imperium, & no one but the God-Emperor can encompass the depths of history or breadth of civilization in the 42nd Millennium, but we must always endeavour to collate & catalogue events & participants, as to fail to learn & understand could be the fulcrum to which returns us unto the depravity of Old-Night and the Dark Age of Technology...
They are quite often the first Space Marine chapter that most read about in depth. Come for the space Vikings in power armor, and then you get sucked into everything else. Still my favorites, too.
The Ragnar series was the very first 40k novel I read for that exact reason haha. I still recommend it to people as a good starting point, since the reader learns the 40k universe alongside Ragnar as he ascends from ignorant tribesman to Astartes
Brutal. Narration went straight to the point, just like the wolves. I wish you had made a pint of their lust for life at the edge of death, but still a fantastic video. Loved it.
I am convinced that Space Wolves and Raven Guard working together could win any battle, take any territory, capture any relic, and thoroughly thrash any chaos force. The two compliment each other perfectly.
My top 5 loyalist legions are ranked as such: 1. Dark Angels(their paranoia intrigues me) 2. Salamanders(Love their compassion) 3. Black Templars( Engrossed in their zealotry and loved Grimaldus and the story of Hellsreach) 4. Space Wolves(Space Vikings are always cool) 5. Ravenguard( I love the stealth)
The Space Wolves during the time of the Great Crusade created a lot of unnecessary tension between some of the more loyalists legions considering their stubborn and prideful behavior like their rivalry against the Dark Angels and the White Scars, and there is also the hypocrisy when it comes to psykers considering their Rune Priests are Psykers no matter how they addressed them as.
The bad blood with other loyalist legions/chapters is not accurate, aside from the Dark Angels. (They actually got along well with the Fists, Ultra, Scars, RavenGuard, Blood Angel's and Hands.) and To be fair, the issue with the Lion was that the Lion gave his word he wouldn't execute the leader of the world they were invading, then went back on his word and executed the leader himself. So don't put that one on the Wolves, not to mention the Lion slung insults at Leman every chance he got. As far as the attitude ,even the Lion mentioned in the newest book (son of the forest) that if the Emperor wanted an enemy erased without a trace, they would send the first, and if he wanted to send a message that everyone would see, he'd send the sixth so they have their purpose. The imperial Fists: Don't really ever speak ill of the Wolves. Both Dorn and Leman have admitted they admired each other. Jaghatai and Leman had very similar cultures and seemed to get along fine. Sanguinius was everyone's favorite brother, including Leman I think. Corax has gone out of his way to help Leman many times and the Wolves see this as an eternal blood debt. Hands hate everyone lol but after 54+ books I haven't seen the Wolves talk bad about them. Ultramarines get on well with them too, Guiliman values them too. Honestly if you want the gist of it read the deathwatch novels, they talk crap but most of the legions then and the chapters now work well with the Wolves. They get a lot of flak for no reason.
Cry more, princess. There is no rivalry against the White Scars, the Thousand Sons deserved every bit of animosity they brought upon themselves, and the feud with the Dark Angels is a respectful rivalry.
Anti-authoritarian, alcoholic, werewolf Vikings... in space! Sure, they're loud, obnoxious and smell funny, BUT they will always got your back when sh*t hits the fan and they know how to throw a party. 🐺 Hell, even Bobby G counts them among his ''Dountless Few''! *Fenrys hjølda!* ("Fenris endures!")
As a guardsmen would you rather have a rowdy blood claw laughing and telling stories with you on the front lines against seemingly impossible odds. Or a dark and sullen Dark Angel who never says a word?
@@lanceturner5119 Blood Claw. Any day. The First being there at all would convince me this was a suicide mission. They're never called for anything less.
@randomcenturion7264 that blood claw would sew you a tale of wonders from his days of hunting orcas on the high seas of Fenris to his days in the training camp of Voxburgh among the cliffs and crags of Asaheim while laying down suppressing fire with his bolter. His songs from his kinsmen rich and flowing from his lips as he basked in the glory of a worthy end. And everyone near enough to hear, would be glad of the company in such dire times. His saga would be told for ages to come, and you and your men would be counted among the heroes who stood against an evil that threatened humanity. You would never grow old and die, for the brave will live forever in the halls of RUSS!
You should do a segment on the Wolf Blades. I think that might be the background for the Space Wolf that appears in the upcoming game, Rogue Trader. It would be interesting I've never heard of that group before this.
If 40k is realised into a live action version on the big screen it would the Vlka Fenrica that would fan favourites seeing how many people love Vikings
According to everything I have read and heard...Live Action 40K IS coming. And it is being spearheaded by superfan....Henry Cavill. Amazon is apparently throwing ALL the money behind it. They are apparently hoping it to be as successful as "The Boys"...if not more. And if you doubt Cavill's love and knowledge of 40k...just glance around YT, you will see he is a MASSIVE fan and 40k nerd. I am super excited for it. Gonna probably be a wait though...with the strikes and all that. I'm just hoping it's worth the wait. Just like I hope Space Marine 2 was worth the wait.
Have you seen the videos on RU-vid or read the new lore out about what happened to Capt Titus between the end of Space Marines and the upcoming sequel to the game? If not it's worth a look/read as it fills in a lot of unanswered questions many had about what happened to him.
This story is one of top favorites, i love how well the narrations were done, the voice acting is excellent to me. This video makes me want to build a fire, have tall cold beer (or several in true wolves fashion) and sit with my kids and just listen. Makes me feel a peace. Btw my kids actually love listening too.
For the All father! and Leman Russ! for all mankind! the Vlka Fenryka Will be there to protect Humanity from the Evils of the Galaxy!! For the Rout! for LEMAN RUSS AND THE ALLFATHER!!!
I'm always amazed by the never-ending stream of artwork that goes with these videos. And I know for a fact that this is just a taste of the Imperial Space Wolf Art Gallery. Crazy. Great job, sir.
It is my belief that Leman is the next of the loyalists to return. Due to the space wolves being a proper subfaction of the space marines(And Sanguinius being very dead) he's the most likely choice from both a game point of view and lore point of view. I believe both G man and the lion both missed him for both his more joyvial nature and ferocious prowess as well. So with him being the next it would make sense. That being said Khan seems like a good choice, I believe all the scars and successors are in one place right now. And Corax would be an interesting one, but I'd assume he'd return once Lorgar makes his big entrance. Vulkan they'd have to have the salamnders fast track the discoveries of the relics they need to find, I believe they have three and may have just found the fourth. And Dorn.... well apparently he's dead, his knuckles are in amber and carved into by the chapter masters, and Ferrus is pretty much famously dead as the first primarch to die and he lost his head and was the pivital moment in Fulgrim fall.
We are the hate of old time. We are the wolves that stalks between the stars. We are the murder make and the one's to make you sleep on red snow. There are no wolves on Fenris . Until next winter.
... Should the Black Templars go to war vs the Inquisition, then the Sons of Leman Russ would assist their Battle Brothers. I envision a considerable blood bath in the not too distant future.
So, the Deathwolf company could tame other xenofauna on Fenris couldn't they? Imagine having ice-bear riders siege breakers! I've also seen Fenris have large felines and drakes, man this chapter could have some really awesome mounts!
Here’s a drinking game, every time the word “Wolf” is spoken take a drink. I’m pretty sure actual space marines are the only ones that’d survive that. Fantastic video, though!
This account of the Wolves of Fenris is both a great Saga and Falsehood of the true history of the Rout, and truly worthy of this Remembrancer's attentions!
18:27 I love the Emperors hair, also space wolves are basically space vikings, and unlike the World Waters they did not give into the rage and bloodlust inside themselves, but instead valued discipline, loyalty and storytelling. 22:30 They also have rune priest, very Nordic of them. 23:50 absolutely horrible, can't believe Space wolves make failed applicants to the chapter servitors. 24:00 LOOK AT THAT SPACE WOLF, BARE CHESTED NO ARMOR AND ALL THAT CHEAST HAIR!!! 26:40 those who succomb to the wolfin gene flaw. 27:40 Long fangs, elders of the space eolves chapter JUST LIKE ELDER DWARVERS IN WARHAMMER FANTASY, LONGBEARDS. 37:35 TUNE PRIESTS LIKE THE DWARVES HAVE IN WARHAMMER FANTASY!?! 46:00 why the spsce wolves hate the inquisition, 47:30 The space eolves fire on any Inquisition ship spotted in their territory.
Correction here. The JLTV launcher can hold 1 tomahawk or a 2 NSM. If we use the LVSR model, then yes you could do 2-4 tomahawk/NSM but the mobility is less and shipping it takes more effort
Great video and well told :) That said there is 1 issue, where did you read that Russ reveled with the order to Censor magnus? All the novels i read was he was sullen and brooding after getting the order and more so after he carried it out. All the evidence shows he loved magnus, he could of gotten a kill order if he told the Emperor of the flesh change but he did not. He even gave magnus a chance to explain himself and come peacefully to terra a boon he "would give no other". He Even nikea as "mending the bond between them" since it would prevent the flesh change and thus keep the Tsons save from Censor.
The Fenrisian people are a hard, rugged, and honest people. Living life to the fullest the best they can. Praising the Emperor and hailing the Sky Warriors for being what they are. Staunch defenders of the people, both of Fenris And the Emperium. The Space Wolves have always and will forever serve the Emperor of Mankind. True they have a savage reputation, one well earned I might add. But it is also a gift they are given, the chance to fly the sea of stars and make a name for themselves. Drinking and feasting with their kinsmen in the great halls either in Asaheim or aboard their ships floating in the void. They wholly and truly love what they do, it brings joy to them to fight alongside their battle brothers. And truthfully their changing over time has made them even better than they were before. True the Curse of the Wulfen has not yet been mastered. However, after the Indomitus crusade with their gene-seed now being stable enough to recruit from other worlds it will be even better to see how they grow further with these new Primaris Space Marines.
One thing I would disagree with is that russ revelled in taking down the thousand sons, it's absolute cannon he thought he was begging magnus to surrender to come back to terra through Kasper Hauser :)
"The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We've all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we've all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher's Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls. The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn't behave that way. Only a dog does. That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer." - Eighth Captain Khârn of the World Eaters Legion, from his unpublished treatise The Eighteen Legions
Kharn's speech here reinforces what we already knew. The Wolves are the yardstick against which badass is measured, and even the World Eaters envy them.
Where is the what I call videos instead of just talking about the warriors???? I watched a couple videos but can’t find another one just talking about the warriors. I’m just wondering.
Hey Mr. Remembrancer, I have a question for you regarding your reference to the Imperial Guard/Astra Militarum. How come people these days don’t use each name interchangeably? Space Marines/Adeptus Astartes is used in common duality, yet I almost *never* hear Imperial Guard used anymore, only Astra Militarum. Could you elucidate on this? I only bring it up here because you’re the most recent in a long list of 40k creators to do so, in your reference to Macharius in this video.
The Vlka Fenryka (space wolves to the ignorant), the Blood angels and Salamanders are my 3 fravourite chapters. They have more humanity than any other chapters and will kill anyone who threatens the innoscent and will die to defend them, even the inquisition itself.
Hello remembrancer absolutely in depth look at the Space wolves combining Feral ferocity with Alchemy Shamanism and sciencethe allure the appeal the pack mentality and tribal Brotherhood i am smitten
@@GokhanSaglam82 Have you not read the Months of Shame or the Emperors gift? Like how Logan Grimnar killed Inquisitor Lord Kysnaros above Fenris aboard the Corel's Hope, as well as Joros, (the GM of the 8th Brotherhood)
Mate in video he said "supreme grand master" which is different than a grand master and a high lord inq. is different then a inq. lord. But your last msg you wrote right so thx :)
They are one of the only space marine chapters I actually like love when they buried their foot in the ass of the Grey knights 😂 also like that they party hard even chase women the seem more human than other chapters
The worst loyalist legion by far. The hypocrites who got tricked into wiping out a fellow loyalist legion and also the ones who instead of defending Terra needlessly kamikazed themselves. I don't even remember any of them beeing the slightest bit apologetic about any of those. The WORST.
Funny, but utterly wrong. The Thousand Sons were easily the worst loyal Legion. Openly defying the Emperors Edict and dealing more damage to humanity than any of the traitors save Horus. The Dark Angels and Ultramarines both failed to return to Terra as well. The Thousand Sons earned their own destruction, not just by destroying the Emperors Webway project but in their stupidity afterward. Not reaching out to communicate, not surrendering or laying down their arms. They hid on their planet under a psychic veil and then didn't even have the balls to stick to that plan, sucking up to Chaos in the end.
Expanding on what the other lad said as he missed your claim about the kamikaze, that basically saved terra mate as the wound Russ caused to he warmaster would end up leading to Horus falling into a coma further leading to him becoming a meat puppet and lorgar trying to usurpe him, fail, and then be kicked out of the siege costing the traitors an entire legion and a lot of time
Can anyone tell me the name of the background music used here? 27:52 This channel has the best 40 K narrator ever so interesting so engaging truly phenomenal… I’ve never been a Warhammer fan until two months later, when I just discover this channel by accident the first video being about Mortarion. Greate stuff keep up the good work.
Peh the Space Wolves, GW's other creators pet faction. They're the defailt action hero fantasy faction(Skyrim and other Norse warrior nerd fan fiction) instead of the grim and serious super soilder faction the Ultramarines are.
This why I love The Vlka Fenryka, they are flawed and their ascension to Astartes used to be seen as them being better than standard humanity to the point of hubris during the great crusade, and that point of view was shattered during the Heresy; now during the 42nd mellenium, specially during the era Indomitus, it has changed to them viewing it as an oath to uphold that gift and ascension as champions and bulwarks if humanity. No longer are they the barbarian executioners of yore, but as heroes, one every single one of them.
And ironicly,they are more akin to the thousand sons now then what they were in the past The modern wolves have learned from the sins of there last striving to be better then there ancestors Pretty sad that the sins of the father,often follow the son,as the modern wolves still pay in blood,the murder of ages past
As much as I admire the Space Wolves I have to say that the bigotry and hypocrisy the 30k Space Wolves displayed to the Thousand Sons was outstanding. They showed great disdain for them for being a highly psyker legion, despite the fact that they also utilized psykers, aka rune priests, in their ranks regardless of what they like to call them, and also despised them for suffering from the flesh change when they themselves are at risk from transforming into a Space werewolf at any time. Hypocrisy!
