  2. ‘You will be faster than they are, stronger, quicker to sense corruption and with full sanction to destroy it. You will be girded in the armour of gods and carry the blades of ruin. You will never age, never wither, never weary. And yet, in all of this, what remains your greatest gift? ‘Only this: while you are a brotherhood, you are unbreakable. While you form the shieldwall, guarding your pack-mates as if they were your own kin-blood, you cannot be resisted. Solely by treachery can this power be undone, as we have learned. We emerge from the lesson stronger, tempered by the knowledge of how low our species can sink. We now know what waits for us should we fail, and that is well, for it is better to know your enemy’s face than for it to remain hidden by shadow. ‘Never forget this. When night comes again, as it surely will, only your brotherhood will protect you. Preserve it, and you will endure.Let it fracture, let it fail, and I tell you truly: our time, humanity’s time, will be over.’ – The primarch Leman Russ Words recorded on Ialis III, c.170.M31 Incorporated into Liber Malan; source-data lost

    ‘The Wolves of Fenris? They will tire at the end. We will all tire at the end. What else is there, once war is eternal, but fatigue?’ – Attributed to the primarch Mortarion Quoted in Liber Infestus Date and source unknown

    "The VI Legion – known as the Space Wolves by those who had come to fear them and as the Dogs of the Emperor by those fallen into treachery – were, in truth, no masters of the void. Not like the Khan’s wild-riders, nor the Lion’s tactical magisters, nor, it had to be said, like the analytical cold-bloods of the XX Legion, who approached the matter of three-dimensional war as they did all else – with precision, forethought and subtlety. For the Warriors of the Rout, raised on a world of shifting ice floes, a ship was a tool, a means of staving off the fury of the slate-grey oceans for just long enough to find firm terrain underfoot. They engraved the heads of dragons into their ships’ prows and wound runes of warding into their long hulls, but they never loved them, not like they loved the axes that could be wielded with freedom on the scarce land. They had taken these ancient ways into the sea of stars with them, and their battleships and cruisers and frigates and gunships fulfilled the same purpose: to deliver them to the field of battle with all swiftness, from where their true strengths – the charge, the fury, the application of unfettered aggression – could be applied in the manner that sated their ever-ravening war-spirit. So if the tales be told rightly, the Wolves had never loved the abyss, and so their great warships had been furnished like the continent-firm halls of ancient kings, burning with braziers and acrid with the stench of hot iron. For the Rout, the deep dark was no place to conduct war, for in that place a warrior could not see his enemy. He could not gaze into his eyes as they locked blades, nor feel his fear, nor taste the blood of him on his lips. For such a killer, the vacuum was a mere after-image of Hel, a place without true valour, a lacuna in which nothing but intellect governed the prosecution of battle…"

  14. Great video.
    But there is 1 issue. Prospero was in accurate. Russ did not hate nor want to destroy magnus nor his sons.
    Russ never communicated with the Emperor as stated in the novel the ashes of Prospero). The order was twised then passed to Russ by the Emperors then most trusted warmaster, Horus.
    On Russ's arrival he disobeyed his perceived orders and tried to reason with Magnus to avoid the assault on the planet. He tried multiple times abd with multiple means to contact Magnus but unbeknownst to Russ, magnus had blocked all communications. Thus Russ was given to choice but to begrudgingly launch the assault. He was also moarnful of the attack

  31. Legion wise I'm a white scars fan, but I'm working on a fan fiction 40k novel, one of my heroes is a Carcarodon void brother who has been red tithed from a space wolves recruiting planet near the eye of terror… he still remembers this and resents his fate… to some degree… he feels his chance to walk among his gods is stolen from him…
