"there are no wolves on fenris"

[@dfwTxRen3Gade]

Thank you for the amazing lore. You have been one of my go to channels for WH 40k and I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us.

[@WarriorTier]

@@dfwTxRen3Gade thank you so much! I am honored brother. More content is in the way! Thank you for your support 🙏🙏🙏

[@bobloerakker7010]

Awooooooooh!!

[@Jyeoi]

Help me understand what there are no wolves on Fenris means

[@hartze2345]

@@Jyeoi It's a sentence that said Magnus the Red about the wolves of Fenris. It seems that the first human colonizers of Fenris were incapable of surviving the cold of the planet, so they started to meddle with the human genetics (or so said Magnus). As a result, some humans became wolves, an species that was not originally from the planet, but which the humans shared a common ancester. That was the supposed birth of the wolves of the planet, and thus, there are no wolves on Fenris. Only humans.

If only the Horus Heresy books had written Leman Russ and his legion this well! Leman Russ was originally my favourite Primarch, however with each poorly written account of him by Games Workshop I drifted away. Your video has reminded me why I was originally drawn to him, and how he should be portrayed.

[@jordcarter2359]

So true. The original lore for Russ had him as a badass Viking king.. over the years he has become more of a simp.

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

Tf? A simp for what?

[@Knight-chaplainashriel]

A most excellent telling of the Wolf-King! The greatest rival the Lion ever had. Really loving these long videos Brother Tier, keep it up!!!

[@WarriorTier]

Thank you so much brother ✊

[@EN-mh4og]

Someone said that the Lion and Leman Russ had one key difference. Lion was a savage disguised as a noble man and Leman Russ is noble man disguised as a beast.

[@MiniPaintAdventurer]

I’ve never been a huge fan of the Space Wolves but I’ve always loved Leman Russ and his story.

[@richardch.4356]

I do too a lot people hate him but that's what makes me like him more especially that moment with the Lions Rage.

[@malal1849]

I hope Leman Russ returns someday there has been a lot of speculation that Sanguinius will be returning as well but if I’m being honest as much as I love Sanguinius it wouldn’t feel as authentic as the Wolf King returning there are so many theories about where he went and why and it would be really meaningful to be able to tie up all the loose ends with his story and how cool would it be if it turned out after all that Leman Russ was actually on a mission for the emperor himself but no one knew it because the emperor trusted him more than anyone and that theory holds water to me too there were other primarchs who stayed loyal during the Horus heresy but Leman Russ and the space wolves will always stay true to my heart for how loyal and amazing they were there are more books about his lore that I want to read I read the Chris Wraight one about 9 months ago it was pretty good one of my favorite passages was He walked across fields of white, his leather boots sinking into the snow, his breath hanging in the clouds around his face. A long journey lay ahead, trekking across the peaks, searching all corners of the realm he must now call his own for eternity The Wanderer walked beside him, cloaked in coarse grey, his face hidden. That face was always hidden - you couldn't look right at it, or it would blind you, like the glare of the unbroken snow. He didn't know how long they had been walking together - perhaps moments, perhaps a liftime. ‘Now is the time, Leman of the Russ' The Wanderer said, in the voice that was both young and old, masculine and feminine, always soft, suffused with a patina of epochal sadness. 'What time?' he answered, coming to a halt. The Wander turned, looking out into the highlands of Asaheim, where the peaks marched under a cystal sky, eternal and inviolate. 'For you to do what you were made for. Or let your grief end you. Your choice'. Russ didn't understand 'I was made to protect you.' he said 'No. You were always wrong about that. You were made to protect what I created.' The Wandered started to walk again, climing higher, leaning on a staff of ironpine and stooping as he went. Russ watched him go. There were places he couldn't follow, not any more. The air chilled him to the bone, and so he turned, trudging back the way they had come. The Fang remained, the fortress was yet to come, and which had been. Work lay ahead there, the great work of his life. the only other one that I have read is the primarchs book 2 The doors at the other end of the hall were pushed open. The crash echoed through the connected rooms and a gust of wind put out the candle flames. Russ stepped forward, radiating an impending danger. His Fenris wolves were with him, as were his warriors, who, stinking and with their neck fur up, radiated pure aggressiveness. They stormed like the beasts of a dark forest into the tyrant's throne hall. All were armed and equipped, their breastplates covered with burn marks and embrasures, their weapons already crackling with energy. The Primarch of the VI Legion held his chain sword, engraved with runes of destruction, in his fist, almost as tall as a man. As he approached the throne, his totems - skulls, teeth and rune stones - rattled across his rain-grey armour.

[@hitgdewer]

Leman Russ will return after Rhana Dandra, he will be my savior when I will be reborn at Fenris.

[@B.Scruby]

Judging from what we could hear from the whispers in the warp. It seems like at this moment in time, the next to return would be Angron, and subsequently followed by the Lion. May take some time before Russ gets a chance, but i'm betting that he'll definitely be back before Corax.

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 its better to know your enemy's face than for it to remain hidden by shadow."

[@rolandthebandit5914]

Recently started listening to your work, some really immersive content. I would however offer some small advice... Try to reduce the repetition of words, phrases and sentences so close together. Cut down the amount of irrelevant filler words you use, such as 'the' 'and' etc. This will greatly improve your writing, couple this with imagery... For example near the start the use of the words Thunder Wolves and Fenris are repeated near every line, with images of Wolves it is impressed upon the viewer what you are talking about so different words could be used. Please don't take this the wrong way, it is honestly a minor thing compared to the outstanding work you have created.

[@WarriorTier]

Thank you so much RolandTheBandit. I appreciate your advice, it is the only way to improve. I am having my friend proofread my scripts going forward, hopefully it will help make the words a bit less redundant. Thank you so much for watching!
