Logan Grimnar On Stormrider Warhammer 40,000

Product Information

Stormrider is the name of an ornate war chariot that belongs to the Space Wolves Space Marines Chapter and is used by their current Chapter Master, Logan Grimnar. Stormrider is held aloft by anti-gravitic gyrostabilisers, however it has no means of self-propulsion, and thus it has only ever been drawn forth by a pair of giant Thunderwolves since the time of Leman Russ. Rising to the Challenge : All characters and Independent Characters must always issue and accept a challenge whenever possible. If you have several models in a combat with a special rule to this effect, you can choose which model issues or accepts the challenge. Even more damaging were the unspoken repercussions: the almost total breakdown of trust between the Space Wolves and Imperial authorities, especially the Inquisition; the second-guessing of their Inquisitorial masters by some Grey Knights and the obvious reluctance of others to join Kysnaros' Armageddon containment campaign. However, despite the dissent within his ranks, Kysnaros was not a rogue operative. He summoned a large number of Inquisitors, and an entire Chapter of Space Marines with their fleet. The enemy player should first roll to determine his Warlord Trait. The enemy player deploys his army first, placing all of his units anywhere in his deployment zone. The Champions of Fenris player then places a wyrdgate marker anywhere on the battlefield, but does not deploy his army. According to the 5th Edition Space Wolves codex, as of the end of M41, Grimnar has been Great Wolf for "over 700 years". [2a] However, according to the Champions of Fenris Codex Supplement, Grimnar was elected Great Wolf in 440. M41, just under 560 years from the end of M41. [3]

Stormrider - Stormrider is an ornate war chariot held aloft by anti-grav gyrostabilisers. It has no means of self-propulsion, for it has ever been drawn forth by a pair of giant Thunderwolves since the time of Leman Russ. Power fields and runes of enchantment are wrought within the chariot's framework to protect both Astartes and beast from incoming fire, enabling Stormrider to bear the Old Wolf into the heart of the enemy lines unscathed. Grimnar is amongst the Imperium's deadliest warriors, but when pulled by his Thunderwolves, Tyrnak and Fenrir, he is nigh unstoppable. Kysnaros' mandate was coming from the higher echelons of the Inquisition, as was made obvious during the discussion of the truce terms among the assembled Inquisitors over Fenris. The Inquisitors had no choice but to accept the truce, yet they immediately started to ponder ways of bringing the Space Wolves to heel, going as far as to consider manipulation of the Chapter's gene-seed.The Champions of Fenris player has the first turn unless the enemy player can Seize the Initiative.

Logan Grimnar's chosen melee weapon is a trophy of war, prised from the cold dead hands of a powerful champion of the Dark Gods. It was upon the battlefields of Armageddon during the First War for Armageddon that the Great Wolf won his fabled axe, amid the blood and fire of the battle on the banks of the River Chaeron. Kysnaros apparently had an extraordinary cross-sector mandate and freedom of action, as his armada ranged far and wide, raining death on anyone or anything whose misfortune was to have crossed paths with Armageddon survivors. Exterminatus was carried out on several worlds, including the planet Tybult, virus-bombed by the specially rearmed Corel's Hope. At least some of the dissent was fuelled by the mystery surrounding Inquisitor Lord Kysnaros, and by his aloofness. He was a secretive and inscrutable figure, even to other members of the Inquisition. No reliable information was known of his past prior to his involvement in the First War for Armageddon and the containment campaign that followed. The mystery was enhanced by another unusual fact: Kysnaros was an unaligned Inquisitor Lord, working outside of the existing Ordos of the Inquisition, and leaving no evidence trail available to them. The badge of the Great Wolf represents Leman Russ, the Great Grey Wolf. Unlike the emblems of the Great Companies, the Great Wolf's emblem is always the same. This is "The Wolf That Stalks Between The Stars": the ancient badge of Leman Russ himself and the symbol proudly emblazoned on the Chapter's banner. The enemy player has the first turn unless the Champions of Fenris player can Seize the Initiative.At the end of the game, the Wolf Brother’s Stasis Capsule (see Mission Special Rules, below) is worth 3 Victory Points to the player that controls it.
