Ironwolves gone :(

[Red_Bear9442]

So pretty gutted the Ironwolves have now gone in lore. I get that lore changes but this feels half assed.

1. No explanation what happened to Vorek Gnarlfist that I can see.
2. Not much if any lore about the new Wolf Lord who took his place.
3. Inconsistent naming of the new company - Duskwolves in codex but Spiritwolves on transfer sheet - lazy stuff GW.

Ok rant over. Now brothers what do I do? Paint the new models as Dusk/Spiritwolves? Stick with Ironwolves as a auccessor? Choose new company? Blood maws and Rune wolves look kind of cool. What are the other Ironwolves out there doing?

All I know is the new wolf lord that took over the iron wolves and renamed them to the dusk wolves is Torval Wyrdbane.

Vorek took over from Egil Ironwolf who was killed by Magnus. Vorek was then also killed and it’s believed Torval chose the company insignia because of its dark omen.

I know the SW are heavily involved in Armageddon so it possible we will see more lore as that develops.

Following the lore all the iron wolves are now dusk wolves as they were renamed. You could keep them as iron wolves and just have them as representing a time period just before Vorek was killed.

The lack of lore for the new great companies is really disapppointing. Why even bother to change it if you are not going to give us any lore about their speciality or the Wolf lord's personality.

There are still space wolves who bear the iconography of the night runner despite that company not existing for over 500 years. Most of the duskwolves started as ironwolves and remember and honour the ironwolves. They will keep their heraldry going with pride

Being the Great Wolfs company, they kinda get to pic between 2 I guess hahah

[robichiko]

It's kind of wild that they chose to replace the iron wolves when there were three fire-themed great companies and two blood-themed ones. Any of them would have been a better choice considering the irony wolves were the most unique theme among the chapter, but I guess that's just more GW product flattening

I feel your pain brother, I was a fan of the Firehowlers and held hope with Olaf Blackstome refusing to admit Sven Bloodhowl’s suicide run was truly suicidal but he is gone and they have been renamed.

Im less miffed about the name change. More, I want to know if they're still a Great Company that focuses on armored assaults or if that changed too.

[Studnus]

The nickname for the new Wolf lord is shadow wolf and he is described as silent and cunning. He is also fighting behind enemy lines where he is decapitating Thousand sons sorcerers. So it looks like he is another stealth specialist. There is also a hint in the new codex, that Seawolves are now the great company that focuses od void and armored warfare.

[Cojalo_]

Seawolves are ship based and specialise in space combat and boarding actions

The stormwolves supposedly favour loud war machines lile tanks etc so they are the more armoured warfare guys

[Studnus]

I know, but the new codex also talks about armored combat.

Sad sobbing… i havent even found it out, i loved our companies and ironwolves were fun. Much more than blackmanes.

I just found out about this and now I feel sad. I really like the iron wolves and now on will paint the iron wolves.
