    I play Dark Angels because they’re canonically as sick of Space Wolves as I am.

    Also, one of the few loyalist chapters that have a weakness that both matters and is the direct fault of their own Primarch.

      space wolves are ok, they are like the 2nd or 3rd most likely chapter to care about civilians whatsoever, they fought the inquisition to stop them from blowing up a planet once i think. idk about the fans, i imagine the viking theme attracts pigmask-off

        Conceptually Space Wolves are okay (beyond, as you say, viking shit being a magnet for Nazis). My problem for them is that they’re so poorly written.

        If I said something like “the battle between Svane Vulfbad and Harald Deathwolf”, most people would be hard pressed to figure out if I’m mocking the Space Wolves or referencing a real canon event.
