#bjorn fellhanded

[barrycoganart]

The Wolf's right hand. Before his interment into a blessed shell and becoming a Dreadnaught, Bjorn the Fellhanded was a Battle Brother of the Great Wolf Leman Russ’s space wolves Legion. Here he is in all his glory, armoured up in a mishmash of Battle plate on the wastes of Prospero. Bring the Emperor's wrath to the Thousand Sons legion after breaking the edicts of the Nikaea. Enjoy!

It’s been 28 years since I picked up a Miniature and Paintbrush.

 When we were half way through high-school, a lot of boys were into Games Workshop and Citadel Miniatures (you would never see a girl in our local Games Workshop in Cheltenham). We had Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000, Epic and Mano-war. 

 I really liked the look of Warhammer 40,000, the Gothic, far future. Space Marines and Orks. I remember getting the box set for Christmas, along with a box of Space Marines (the ones with the pointy noses);  for the few years that followed my collection would slowly grow.

I had the standard handful of citadel paints, a couple of paint brushes and would sit painting for hours, Blood Angels, or getting bored with them start again with Ultra Marines, changing my mind and doing, Dark Angels.. Then settling on Space Wolves... to the point where the miniatures had lost all detail and was just a blob of paint. I didn’t have many miniatures so I had to just repaint the ones I had. If only I had known about Isopropanol at the time, I could of stripped those miniatures and started fresh each time.

All my birthday money would go on Warhammer figures. I got a couple of the Space Wolves characters, the original Ragnar Blackmane, and Njal Stormcaller;

..some metal Tactical Space Marines. A Space Marine Rhino and Land Raider (which must of been indestructible due to the amount of 90s paint it had on it) and a Space Marine Dreadnought. I so wanted (and still do) Bjorn the Fellhanded (the Space Wolf one). 

 Then I got into a few Orks because they looked awesome. The metal Ghazkgull Thraka and his little Gretchin ally Makari; 

Got an Ork on a warbike

and lastly a metal Ork with a Shock Attack Gun; 

the best thing about him was the two lots of Snotlings that came with him.... I wanted an army of Snotlings and the Chaos equivalent of Nurglings...

I never learnt to play the game though. Which was a shame. I tried a couple of times, reading through the overly complicated Rule book like a Monkey doing a math's puzzle. It was the mid 90s... we didn’t have internet to watch a youtube video.... Games Workshop was always super busy of a weekend so there was no help there and I never had any friends that actually knew how to play the game. So I just used to stick to painting them.

I miss those old miniatures of the 90s. I see they are now referred to as “2nd Generation”. The ones they have now are way more detailed AND plastic, also the price of them are getting out of hand. For example, the Ragnar Blackmane figure posted above, was £7 in 1994, single metal figure in a blister pack. The modern version (although way more detailed) and plastic, at time of writing is £27.50. Single figures do seem to be massively over priced where as things like a box of Space Marine Tactical squad would of been £10 in ‘94 and now only gone up to £30 which is a lot more acceptable.

There were so many figures that I wanted to collect to paint, there was no way I could afford them at the time. However as this story unfolds...

....things are about to change.

Here's my introduction into playing Space Wolves. I found this little guy at a Gaming Con for like $15. He was already painted but not the greatest and missing a few things. So I took him home, washed him up, added some bits, and decided to paint him up. Now he is Bjorn my main HQ choice for my Space Wolves

I just realized something about 30k space marines

Many legions recruited from feral or death worlds where life expectancy is lower then the average planet. With that in mind it is plausible that a number of the space marines where fathers since a lot of them where inducted when they where young adults since in those kinds of worlds your basically a man by 15. As far as we know someone could be a distant relative to Khârn the Betrayer or Bjorn the Fellhanded.

[In the 40k, Evren is a space cryptid. A vague rumour. A name and face that pops up out of nowhere before the traitors and enemies mysteriously start dying. Maybe she’s answering a distress call. Or maybe she knows though some vague sixth sense or unnamed informant who seems to know all men’s secrets. Or she happened to be in the area before it all kicked off, ‘just passing through’.

Recounted in official reports and old soldier's stories since the 35ks, never changing or aging, she’s accompanied by Astartes from an unknown Chapter wearing ancient armour and wielding strange weapons. They arrive without warning, kill the traitors and the xenos, then vanish leaving behind nothing but skinned, mutilated corpses nailed to walls pour encourager les autres. 

One man swears his great-grandfather saw her rip the arm off a ten-foot-tall ork as if it were made of wet tissue paper. Another tells a story where she shrugged off a bolter to the gut and kept fighting. A pair of children remember being gathered into her arms and flown to safety on wings of pure darkness, before she sat them down and healed the girls’ broken arm with a kiss. The biography of Ciaphas Cain is the most solid proof of her existence but even then she’s something of a cypher. A fleeting presence. His regiment spoke of her rarely.

Others recall how the Jackals came to buy food, water, and medicine, paying with Thrones or strange coins of solid gold, or metals like platinum and rhodium. They come to Rogue Traders with ancient relics, lost technology, and coy smiles if asked where they came from. Most know better than to ask, though.

Are they loyalists? Traitors? Renegades? Ghosts? Nobody knows.

The Inquisitors who look her up find what files exist are classified to the highest level - higher than they’ve ever seen before. Even Astartes who ask about the Tomb Jackals are met with a wall of silence. One bold Space Wolf asked Bjorn the Fellhanded if he knew of them and received only the answer ‘We don’t speak of the Jackals any more.’. And Guilliman? Hasn’t heard her name yet...]

Bjorn Fellhanded - A timeless Warrior

A little caricature of Bjorn Fellhanded the oldest and mightiest Dreadnought of the Space Wolves space marines. Not bad for a 10,000 year old warrior encased in a dominating war machine.

[ask-angron-40k-blog]

Kharn vs Bjorn the Fellhanded (dreadnaught version)

(No joke, Kharn will murder Bjorn on tabletop, even if Bjorn charges first. 7th ed Armourbane is such a wonderful trait.)

“Despite the strength and durability a dreadnought chassis weilds, there is much to be desired, and despite the experience the senile old coot has, Kharn will have more and then some.“

“Oldest living loyalist needs a dreadnought, while the oldest heretics may still feel their weapon’s scream of whirring teeth and the kick of the bolter in his hand.“

Also I'm going to describe later a Post-Heresy special unit for Diamond Breakers. Prepare for suprise, because it's not a vehicle, but a Monstrous Creature!

They have their variant of Bjorn the Fellhand?

[sanguiniusreborn]

A year had passed with nothing to show. No more letters, the lab had come up empty, and so did the room. Well, mostly because after being found, the rooms were burned, and sealed up. Someone really did not want this woman, this, Meredith Cecilia found. That is, until a servant came with a small box. "From the Space Wolves, my lord." inside, a data slate with a recording, from Bjorn the Fellhanded, of all people. The Great Old Wolf still had stories, it seems.

Sanguinius nodded, and took the dataslate out delicately, choosing to pry and see what was on it

[saviorgoddessastrid]

Astrid gets every single type of Dreadnought--pilots included, and typically picked to mesh well with the Empire of Hope--except the standard 3 versions of the 41st millenium. Siege Dreadnought, Chaplain Dreadnought, Librarian Dreadnought, Furioso Dreadnought, Contemptor Dreadnought, Contemptor Mortis Dreadnought, Deredeo Dreadnought, Bjorn the Fellhanded, a Contemptor with a Volkite Culverin, and more.

“...Why is Bjorn here?” Astrid asked.  “Isn’t he with the Space Wolves or Blood Ravens?”
