Plz Don't make Bjorn laugh nothing more dangerous then a dread rofl
*me just recruited in my first fight against the Emperor's Children*
Grandpa Bjorn protects me from Slaanesh and your foul thotery
Seeing as all the primarchs were psykers to varying degrees, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to think that Leman Russ had instilled Bjorn with a little bit of his psychic power in order to lead and protect Vlka Fenryka.
I kinda like this idea.
that wouldnt surprise me. It would be a even bigger twist to have him fighting in the warp WITH Russ... some one tell this to Alfa!
I really dig that idea. I hadn't thought of this.
also makes you think maybe thats why he left Bjorn behind in the first place, that he recognised the latent abilities of Bjorn and boosted them with a little of his own power before setting off in his hunt into the warp?
I know that it's not canon but I think that the primarchs were originally mean to mimic the winds of magic from fantasy. That would most likely make Leman the primarch of the winds of the beast. This is because of the mentality of each type of magic seeing each takes completely different personalities. Seeing as though the wind of the beast is mostly buffing magic maybe in the current cannon he still has some connection? Also seeing as someone will mention the twins ( triplets) they are probably meant to be more of a dark magic inspired.
I love the fact Bjorn has wolf pelts on his dreadnaught - this means every century or so a Space Wolf has to wander off into the Fenris wilds to bag a wolf to replace the pelt that's starting to disintergrate due to age. Bonus points if you can find a similar wolf and replace it before Bjorn wakes up so he never notices.
If course, Bjorn notices, but he knows his fellow Space Wolves mean well trying to respect his achievements and doesn't mention it.
Actually the pelts are doused and dried in a promethium-ichor bath similar to what they seal the barrels of mjoud with. It permanently seals the wolf pelts against rotting. They can still be damaged though. Its actually mentioned in the ragnar blackmane books.
@@shrubby-ov4yw You lore knowledges neatly contradicts my head canon, but I like my head canon more. There is only one logical thing for me to do.
BRB getting a job as an author for GW to make my head canon actual canon, checkmate sucker.
@@Kameth sure champ.
Bjorn is in a statis field. His pelts are as good as him.
@@shrubby-ov4yw You'll be sorry when all the fluff all about my favourite army killing everyone easily even in different army codex's. Gonna go full Matt Ward.
Bjorn, The Fellhanded, the only Dreadnought to step in the middle of a fight between the Vylka Fenryka, the Grey Knights and the gosh darn INQUISITION and say "SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, THE ADULT IS TALKING"
and then proceeded to flirt with the main inquisitorial representative
@@nick_a91 the inquisition thought that bringing a fenrisian inquisitor with them would help with the cultural barrier xD didnt work though
@@AnikaJarlsdottrBjorn just got action
There is one option that was not mentioned: Bjorn is being worshipped by imperial citizens and as such is gaining God-like powers.
Or a degree of sainthood, come to think of it.
Ten thousand years of space wolves, psycher or otherwise revering Bjorn as a holy relic of their chapter and a link to their father is a lot of emotions.
It's like the Ark of the Covenant if it grew legs and gun-arms.
@@robertnelson9599 that's friggin scary.
@@robertnelson9599 Damn....Now you gave me some serious ideas
I think Bjorn is one of the best things about a chapter that is largely compiled of very over stressed tropes. He's got real character depth, experience, and I'm glad he's around.
*Bjorn during his last travel to the warp finding his father*
Russ: its time to go
Bjorn: was I a good boy?
Russ: the best I've ever known
*plasma reactor begins to cool off*
Damn Brought me To Tears
*The joints start to fall off, The pelts rotting away instantly, As the coffin slips off, Bjorn taking in one last breath, As he joins the legion of the damned, To rizz up every women in it*
I think the space wolves of new and old are contributing to his psychic prowess. Perhaps their belief in him empowers what would otherwise be weaker psychic powers.
Kinda like Orkz?
@@eltonjohntubola3212 yes and no, it's like the sisters of battle and their saints
Please let Bjorn get an update to his rules that gives him a mysterious 'deny the witch' roll.
Request Denied but GW can make him a primaris 😂
That’s some nice sorcery, be a shame if someone *Negated it*
pretty sure space wolf characters have a strat that lets them deny the witch, so yes he can
@@AnikaJarlsdottr No no, let's just bake this into our battle box hero.
I am so glad that we can talk s little about Bjorn a little today. He is my favorite dreadnought ever.
The ancient of rights would like a word with you
Tancred endures.
I will say no name....lamenter deathwatch...he sleeps in corpses
I personally have a triumvirat of Bjorn, Rylanor and The Ancorite going. They are just that badass
Remlez: What do you think?
Me: That Bjorn is a good boi?
He is indeed a good boi
After listening to Wolfsbane, I can’t help but like the Wolves a bit more. They’re far more the filthy, power armored, drunken space marines, rather than furries. They’re cool. And I can kinda identify with Bjorn, as while in life, he was kinda a loner. Didn’t like all the near constant raucous celebration of his brothers, instead preferring to drink alone.
He's not the only space wolf with such characteristics, there's also arjac rockfist who armed with nothing but his forge hammer and a shield and accompanied by 500 forge thralls fended off a tyranid attack on the fang and rebuilt Logan grimnars axe twice
The furry concept is just memes, the Space Wolves are astartes who allow more lateral freedom while still retaining the same discipline as other chapters.
Tbh the only thing against them is the hypocritical anti psycher bull
Otherwise they would be 2nd place
P.s Salamanders ftw
@@lumpofmeatsack2013 Salamanders are pretty awesome, though I have to say that the Raven Guard may top them, ever so slightly.
The best interpretation of the wolves I've ever heard was by a World Eaters Dreadnought describing Russ in Betrayer, by ADB:
“Russ bled authority without effort, and without the need for posture or pretence. In all ways, he should have been a barbarian - from the ragged blond hair to the frost-weathered skin that aged him far past his years. And yet, he inspired no mockery. He made barbarism a controlled trait, something noble to be understood and mastered, not a state of primitive regression. Leman Russ was the dynamism of a life free from civilisation’s shackles. He was strength and purpose and heart, where all else was grey with the promise of inevitable stagnancy.
He wasn’t a wolf because of how he fought and howled and bunched his men into packs. He was a wolf because of how he lived, forever echoing the vitality and honesty of the wildness at the heart of all life. It was said in smiling whispers that VI Legion genetic coding was tainted by canine blood. Lhorke believed it. Seeing Leman Russ made him yearn to breathe again, and feel anything beyond the cramped, cold-milk discomfort of his amniotic womb-tomb. Never had he felt more dead - not before, and not since.”
Rip and tear, Bjorn. Unto the Wolftime!
Bjorn, after realizing he's been 'borrowed' by the Blood Ravens: "...HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT WOLVES?"
Brother-Captain: " We...are...neutral on the subject of wolves?"
Bjorn: "GOOD. I HATE THE FUCKING THINGS!"
Still a classic.
1d4chan ref. Is always welcome.
Is that an actual quote from a book? Lmao
Is 1d4chan down for you guys?
@@hydradominatus3641 No, but it would be funny.
@@hydradominatus3641 Nah, it's just from a silly post someone made up. I'd say go look it up on 1d4chan but it's dead, but googling Blood Ravens Djorn still seems to work.
So...He's kinda like DoomGuy in his off days?
everyone needs a hobby
He rips and tears his foes.
The fact that he was singled out by Russ says volumes. He knew of Bjorn’s connection to Fenris, he knew no other would be able to defend it as well as any other in his Wolf Guard. But the way he did it was so stark and sudden that it too Bjorn aback and had the feelings of doubt and failure thrust upon him. In the Parting of Ways Bjorn remembered how it happened, “He said he always felt a strange fate for me, the end of which he could not see so he kept me close as if he might be able to understand it.” But when Russ left he turned to Bjorn and simply said “Not you!” And the just left.
It's like the story of this one Frenchman back in the Middle Ages who believed he was a werewolf. He attested that, in his werewolf form, he would descend with other werewolves into Hell, and wage war against the demons therein. Really baddass story, I think Powerwolf has an album or song about it.
Huh, I was not aware of that. That's pretty neat!
French eat pain for breakfast.
Thiess of Kaltenbrun comes up with this story on Wikipedia. But not from france. More what is Latvia today.
The Album you are refering to is "Lupus Dei"
40K Theories it's funny that you mention fenrisians fear psykers because the space wolves do have them, I have read stories of wolf priests who use their psychic powers to inscribe weapons and armor with fenrysian runes in order to boost their stats.
On a more important note After following your twitter posts for the last few weeks I think you should take a vacation for a while and get plenty of rest, even inquisitors and techpriests need rest, and think of it as giving the machine spirit in your computer time to rest
Technically I said they view Psykers with contempt, rather than fearing them :P
And yes, Rune Priests are Psykers, but they claim they draw their powers from the "mystic power of Fenris" as opposed to the warp (even though they do indeed draw upon the warp in some way, since if I recall correctly, the novel Wolfsbane pretty much outright confirmed the spirits of Fenris are themselves warp entities.)
And honestly, I'd love a vacation if I could afford to take the time off lol.
Primaris Rubicon: Exists
Bjorn: i gotta get one of those
The dreadnoughts seem to be the only old marines who can't take it.
bjorn: gets the santodes upgrade from TTS
Space Wolves: Stupid Sexy Contaaaiiinnneeeerrrrrr
@@danilvidiborski5336 instead of a dreadspear, he gets a massive fucking frost axe with a helfrost cannon strapped to it
Honestly the idea that Bjorn is one foot within the Materium and one foot in the Underverse is such a fascinating idea to me, watching over the Space Wolves chapter from the here-after. It's just so annoying that its barely touched on
Remliez: 'Bjorn the fell-Handed', also known as 'Trueclaw' and 'The Eldest'...
...and 'Bear.'
4:10 - So basically Bjorn is The Emperor Jr.
Only when certain traitors fail to properly transliterate "Bjorn" to their sleeper agents ;)
Dreadnoughts are so fuckin' badass, like Rylanor and Chyron
I know Rylanor, but who is Chyron?
@@robertnelson9599 Chyron is a Lamenters Dreadnought, aka one of the unluckiest chapters. He's in the Deathwatch and sadly he believes to be the only Lamenter left after they were supposedly whiped out, but they are still alive unbeknownst to him.
@@TheBlekkis and is the only dreadnought in the deathwatch to tell an inquisitor to fuck off
You 1000% right. Badasses beyond the end
Last time I was early the Thunder Warriors was still-
[REDACTED]
Space Sharks are cool
What if the reason Bjorn is able to project his essence into the warp, and retain his sanity for so long, is in part at least due to the BELIEF that he is the protector of Fenris? by the native fenrisians and brother Space Marines.
Similar to the way the Orks belief that Yarrack is so awesome, it makes him actually awesome. Or that the Red ones goz faster.
Bjorn=Emperor of Fenris except his throne can move.
A walking throne? Sounds familiar. (Leman upon seeing Karamazov ) . Will he say the the same thing? Then again, he is known to have double standards( In regards to psykers and rune priests )
He's more like malcador the sigilant
@@ariespenetrante7317 well Bjorn does not have functioning legs so I don't think russ not bullying him would be fair
@@dionwoollaston5717 I think Russ will return as Sigilite. Becoming more like his dad.
My man fought off Magnus while stuck on an armored box with limbs. Respect.
This is why dreadnoughts are badass.
Rip and Tear
Until It Is Done
This just in crippled man on life support fights immortal daemon bird to a stand still
Bjorn is a true son of Fenris. Earned his name after losing his arm and having lost his battle-brothers but wore the title of Fell-Handed proudly, served the Wolf King by his side up until the end of the Horus Hersey, became the first Great Wolf of the Space Wolves when Leman left with his wolf guard, brokered a peace negotiation with the Inquisition who were close to besieging Fenris in the Months of Shame, following the First War of Armageddon, the sterilization and internment into work camps until death of Armageddons' populace, even managing to win the respect of the Inquisition and the Grey Knights who feel compelled to kneel before him just for having walked alongside the Emperor of Mankind himself. The only reason he ever preferred to be a lone warrior was he had a strong bond with his brothers who died while he was the sole survivor. While he may have preferred to be a loner, he still served and fought along side his gene-father. But to go so deep into why he's in an eternal sleep, saying that Bjorn has psychic potential and his spirit battle daemons in the warp justifies that Bjorn is one of if not arguably the greatest space marine in the Imperium.
I am introducing someone to Space Wolf lore today. Perfect timing with this upload!
I then also advise going to Baldermorts video on the Space wolves then
@@brandonvang3242 Already did that. This channel and Baldermort are the channels I exclusively point newcomers to
@@solvdrage1456 nice!
Bjorn, take the *"Even in Death, I still Serve"* quote to a -astral- whole new level...
The only time I believe in Leman Russ' existence, that he would ever shed a tear... is upon his return... he sees what has become of Bjorn.
I think he would cry when he sees what became of the Imperium, he would probably be happy to see Bjorn in any semblance of living.
@@robertnelson9599 Bjorn would be Russ’ sole living connection back to his legion. Russ I hope would sit with him as he would any of his other brothers - the Fellhanded has kept his oath.
Wasn't Bjorn marked during the burning of Prospero by a daemon of Tzeentch? Thgat would somewhat explain his psychic connection...
That is a potential possibility
The rune and wolf priests who watch bjorn would never know about his readings being "anomalous" if his sarcophagus is so old and advanced that it always functioned that way
You forgot to mention another theory: The Bjorn is now an Imperial Saint.
Throne of Terra Philosoraptor, if we examine the Books Blood of Asaheim and Stormcaller we have a potential explanation of what Bjorn actually was. While it is true that the Rune Priests are able to detect Malificarum quite effectively, as well as those who can harness the elements, there are cases where the warriors that go through the trials are actually latent psykers or simply posses abilities that the Rout could not effectively recognize.
In the case of Bjorn and what we saw in Wolfsbane along with the Siege of Fenris, it is likely that he was a latent psyker, ten thousand years of victory upon victory have likely continued to grant the Fell-Handed a continued growth in terms of his might, effectively creating him into a living totem for the Vlka Fenryka, a Bear that dreamed it was a man and a man that dreamed it was a wolf.
I still need to read Blood of Asaheim and Stormcaller (and Helwinter Gate for that matter) so thank you for bringing this up! :D
@@40KTheories my pleasure, what kind of Warsmith would I be if I didn't annoy you eternally ...granted it's been a few months since I've had the chance to comment
Bjorn rips and tears in his slumber? Confirmed, Bjorn is Doomguy.
Funny you upload this as I just happened to finish listening to the awesome Prospero Burns mere seconds beforehand. Crazy lol
"You... you walked in the age of the emperor?"
Bjorne made the gear-grinding chuckle again.
"Walked, ran, pissed and killed. I did it all. I met the allfather, you know. Fought at his side more than once. I do believe he liked me."
Kysnaros slowly, slowly went to his knees.
"Oh, for... not you as well."
If the space wolves weren't so opposed to outsiders the fang would very likely become another site for pilgrims wishing to meet the man who has stood in the presence of the emperor himself.
Surprisingly the wolves do have psykers but not in the same way as other chapters (I assume) the wolf priests from what I have read use their psychic powers to inscribe fenrisian runes onto weapons and armor, basically boosting its stats
The various priests, and the great companies in generally, are most likely doing just that. He probably is a lesser Chaos deity of some flavor. Remember, in the warp, belief makes it so.
Dan Treadwell it's pretty much the placebo effect on steroids
I get the feeling it's because of the Wolves themselves. If they believe that Bjorn'll always be around to defend or protect them, well look at what happened on a Galaxy Wide scale with the Emperor over 10,000 years.
It might be for it being so ancient that when it isn't running he really is on the line of death and life, and this is his soul basically passing on. When he is up it jolts him to life again. Most likely over time he gained more power from the others believing in him.
I always interpreted this sort of thing as a natural extension of how psykers and souls work. Since every being with a soul is some level of psyker (though most are *incredibly* weak), everyone has a little bit of power that can be cultivated, and psykers get stronger over time. Given Bjorn's sheer age and experience, plus the serious level of psychic phenomenon inherent to Fenris, him developing psychic abilities is nearly inevitable.
It makes you wonder though how some other really old individuals (like, say Belisarius Cawl, who is over 10,000 years old at this point without repeatedly going into stasis sleep) _haven't_ developed psychic abilities of their own yet.
It could be that the shear amount of cybernetic augmentations get in the way of any big warp connections in a techpriest, the same way that being interred in a Dreadnought does to most psykers. But then again it could just vary due to who's writing them.
Bjorn is the slayer cousin who rips and tears until it is done.
Love this channel
I believe the latent psycher theory to hold the most logical weight in an argument
Being that the Emperor has become such a powerful warp entity. I wonder if he has anything to do with Bjorn's increasing psychic powers?
i may be a dark angel but emperor bless the fell handed and his existence
Wonder if he can cross the Rubicon... Imagine that.
He's in pieces in a sarcophagus, so it'll be one hell of a surgery. Although the idea of him walking Fenris once more with his body restored is amazing.
@@danf3201 No one would be happier at this news than than Roboute Guilliman.. If it happened.
NO, PURELY AND SIMPLY NO. For real, he's the best boxnaught and should stay that way.
@@antoinep.2565 Primaris Boxnaught though...
@@iCatCloud the redemptor? Those kill the pilot slowly, so not viable for a ames character i'd say
The idea that Bjorn is a psyker deep down is brilliant, since his abilities have literally had over 10,000 years to develop, and could explain how he was able to even stand a chance against Magnus. If Russ knew somehow, it could explain why he left Bjorn and not anyone else, since his reasonings are abit vague
Except it isn’t 10k years from INSIDE a stasis tomb.
And he stood a chance because he shot him with a plasma cannon.
Bjorn is becoming a minor Chaos god.
No a saint of the emperor
The old Wolf solemnly leads the Sister into the room, before them reverently laying on an altar...Bjorn's sarcophagus, silent red lights blinking. He turns to her... "Behold, Jen... The Internet"
PUT ME BACK TO SLEEP
If Bjorn is a psyker, does he suppress his abilities or perhaps not even know he has those powers?
Yes.
Two things a warrior and an apex predator have in common are almost super natural ability to sense prey/enemie near by before any of the senses and a bond with their surroundings add that in mind to Fenris world spirit, you have a base to use.
I think Russ sensed something in Bjorn akin to the world spirit of their home and left Bjorn to finish his mortal trials so he was ready to act like not just the beacon to the rest of the wolves but as some kind of avatar of Fenris in the planets fight with the warp.
Loved this video remmy, I will always have a soft spot for the wolves :)
with the wolves' reverence of Björn he might just be becoming a living saint, which is the coolest shit ever if you ask me
That short story on 1d4chan about how he got his nickname is pure gold
Humans can create warpstuff. The spavewolves are giving Björn his power. Because they believe it.
Look at the sisters of battle.
Everybody has a bit of the warp to em and dude is over 10K years old with a strong will and spirit. I'd just chalk it up to magic.
"A Rune Priest did it."
There are no psykers on Fenris
@@Necroid9001 no wolves either :)
No, no there are not
My theory? Much like the emperor, he's been essentially worshipped for ten thousand years I'll be at on a smaller scale. I think he's not entirely mortal anymore.
The Space Wolves tend to be the most spiritual of all the Loyalists Marines. They idolized and Revere him even in the books you mentioned which I happen to have. He's able to do things in a Dreadnought that other people can't pull off. This makes me think that the Dreadnought and him have merged and due to the focus of all of Fenris and the Space Wolves idolizing him, he has become a sort of low-key godling
Given the whole "Dreadnoughts suppress psychic powers" thing, and there being no evidence the Space Wolves are exceptions I'd disagree with the hidden psyker theory.
Instead I think the answer is in the way the warp responds to belief. The people of Fenris are deeply spiritual, with strong beliefs related to spirits, and a great deal of reverence for their ancestors. Given this, and the fact that Bjorn is seen as the ultimate representation of the defenders of Fenris, the undefeatable last line that will awaken to stop any threat no matter what, I would suggest that what has happened is that this belief has caused that part of his soul which is connected to the warp to echo this, and become the last line of defence against threats on the other side of the veil.
The problem with the "Dreadnoughts suppress psychic powers" thing is that Librarian Dreadnoughts exist.
Librarian Dreadnoughts (as mentioned in this video) are pretty much exclusive to the ranks of Blood Angel descended chapters, due to warriors with Sanguinian geneseed having a far stronger connection to the warp than the other loyalist chapters (as shown in the 9th ed Blood Angels codex)
Bjorn is Bjorn, aka dont mess with him i mean he put magnus through a thunderhawk
I remember him from the dreadnoughts and twin soritas fic
I once bore witness to the glory and majesty of Bjorn during one of the annual Great Feasts it was the day before my full ascension to a Space Wolf in receiving the Black Carapace and receive my personal suit of Power Armour I listened as Bjorn recounted the days when the Wolf Father walked the halls of the Fang as well as the time when the Allfather walked among humanity I took such inspiration from these stories that I endured the final trial and came out a full fledged Space Wolf
THE INTRO IS SO FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
my opinion on it is just that it has been 10,000yrs so it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that just like the emperor is prayed to he has become something close to a living by Saint maybe since space wolves would probably pray for his safety/blessing over all that long period
Ohhhhh one of my birthday wishes came true 40k theories video upload!!! 🤘😁🤘
Happy birthday! :D
@@40KTheories thank you!
Sweet a Bjorn video. Thanks man
No problem 👍
2:17 "Get your fucking wolf off the table, Lars!"
Bjorn remembers my Primarch Robute Gulliman the first time round.
A meeting between them would be very interesting after 10,000 years.
Something that isn't really noted upon in the video but that seems EXTREMELY important: If Bjorn truly is "fighting" the Chaos gods themselves, this would imply (if he is indeed a psyker) that he possesses a level of power rivalling a Primarch or even the Emperor himself as fighting the actual Chaos gods (if this is indeed what is happening) then the fact he does not lose outright implies massive power.
It seems strange a random Space Wolf, even an incredibly old one, could just be "lucky" enough to possess this much power so what could this mean? Is it possible that Russ' spirit is within him, increasing his power (and possibly even being the catalyst for his powers in general?) Or, what if he was an actual genetic son of Russ himself? Seems very fitting with the Space Wolf lore to have some illegitimate kids running around, and could also explain his high degree of skill in combat and tactical acumen.
Bjorn certainly sounds pretty unique. The only other group that would use dreadnoughts in a commanding role are the Grey Knights. And typically it’s their Grandmasters that have been put into those suits. As for his psychic abilities, I think it’s because he’s in a dreadnought that helped him unlock those. With his mind free of stimulus like a sensory deprivation chamber, he could really let him mind wander and use all human’s latent psychic ability to peer into the warp. He is aware, has the mental strength to resist demons, and is at least somewhat psychic, as all humans are.
I believe it has more to do with "the power of belief," as an entire Legion has made him a living legend. That and Fenris tends to channel its will through vessels like it did with Russ.
I was watching a funny penguinz0 video but when I saw this in notifications I just had to watch this.
Every space marine contains a tiny portion of their primarch's potential, and i think they can unlock more of it over time. Russ had some sort of anti-psyker powers, anti-demon makes sense too, and Bjorn has picked up some. Something similar with the anchorite of almace, or blood angels who develop prophetic dreams without being psykers.
Pretty sure Bjorn's just becoming a minor god of the Imperium.
you forgot "HOW" in the description text.>>> "But just did Bjorn manage to become the spiritual defender of Fenris? "
Bjorn... he is not ripping and tearing demons in the warp to wage war. He is an old bloke looking for the legendary pub called the wolf time where he will be reunited with russ and his fellow wolf guard and all fallen wolves. Well as a 1st born space wolf player i want to think that...
The "upload soul" theory is freakin cool.
lets not forget that Blademaker said Bjorn's Tomb was also his Finest work. so who knows what Techno-sorcery was added into it! and that he may also have been working on it for Years before the Time came for it to House Bjorn's Body.
His soul rips and tears the demons.
Bjorns soul is doomguy
@12:18 If these Fenrisian spirits do enable/aid Bjorn to wage in the Warp then I wonder how they work? These are the same spirits of the native Fenrisian religion/lore so it’s interesting to see a local religion’s pantheon aid in the fight against Chaos.
Bjorn gets his abilities from The Emperor. Since all powers and abilities ultimately come from the All Father.
One of my proudest achievements in a Warhammer 40k tournament was killing Bjorn with one of my harlequins using a harlequins kiss, back in 3rd Ed.
The longclaws had destroyed my vipers, and almost destroyed my avatar.
The tin can had chewed his way through my striking scorpions, and butchered their dire avenger support But I got him. Best chain of sixes ever.
Worth it for the look on the refs face, when I pointed out the Bjorn was now just dog scented soup. So there was no "recovering the body".
That was back in the day of the awful "doom" and "mind War" combo instant kill.
In the end it was my warp spiders and wraith guard who won me the match. The WG kept getting knocked over but not destroyed, my spiders long jumped in and used overlapping templates of fire to wipe out the marines.
Last official tournament I ever played.
OG eldar were very op.
Space Wolves I like:
1: Bjorn the Fell Handed
2: Bodvar Bjarki
Thematically i like the idea of the World Spirit of Fenris being the sourceof his astral abilites. WE known from the exodies that world spirites are real and have a somewhat symbiotic relationship with the worlds inhabitants. And the idea of Fenris being alive in some way sems to be a common belief amougst the Fenrisians. Even the rune preist are said to believe they are 'Sons of the Storm' and their abilities are drawn from Fenris. And sure, this may just be a cultural belief, but in 40k, things that are believed to be true , often are.
The latent psychic ability theory seems the most plausible to me. It's been shown repeatedly that strong-willed individuals can combat psychic powers without being psychic themselves. For instance the Exorcists chapter, through will alone, purges demons from their own body as part of their initiation. Bjorn had one of the strongest wills when he was still just a Space Marine. In Prospero Burns, he's able to combat the main daemon. If at that time he had a latent psychic power, coupled with his strong will this would be a good explanation for why he could fight it where others failed (also the daemon didn't know his true name, I know, but go with me here). It's pretty plausible that after 10,000 years he's either consciously or subconsciously been able to grow this latent power into what he's able to do to defend Fenris. Perhaps even with the secret help of rune priests?
Grandad can't even have an afternoon nap without war.
As far as why not one of the Rune, Iron or Wolf priests can detect Bjorn if he is slipping into the systems of the Fang might be because it’s something that, overtime, Bjorn has managed to attune with.
Although, I do like the idea that the spirits of Fenris are helping him in the war. Isn’t it confirmed that Planets do have a type of soul/spirit? Maybe the wrath of Fenris is tired of taking the Chaos Gods BS and wants some payback?
Cool video
perhaps Bjorn is manifesting these powers because the actual psykers of the space wolves revere him so much they are subconsciously instilling him with their powers. kinda like The Orks with Commissar Yarrik or a miniature Emperor.
Do you think the Dalai Lama's Potola Palace could be the first foundations of the Imperial Palace? A Buddhist monk that is immortal through reincarnation living in a palace in the Himalayas?
So, I guess an old dog CAN learn new tricks.
Q&A question: If a Chaos god creates a Daemon, does that daemon necessarily have to be a specific type (e.g. Khorne with Bloodletters, Bloodthirsters, etc.) Or can they be completely unique?
Edit: Oh wait, he only answers questions on patreon. Dang it!
Perhaps Bjorn is slowly, very slowly dying. His soul going more and more into the immaterium and less in the physical world.
I am sure it is not what the authors have intended but when you look at it, it could be a possibility.
I read through the comments a bit, and a few ideas I saw kinda make sense. One idea I saw was that perhaps Russ gave him a bit of psychic potential when he left him, which could very well be possible and I wouldn't doubt. But the main one that I had been considering as well is the idea that Bjorn is a bit of a diet on Fenris. It's a wierd topic but according to multiple sources being the battles of the fang new and old, Fenris itself has a spirit as a planet, which is also apparently a source of psychic power to the rune priests. It could potentially be the planet itself giving him the power. This, and then add in the fact that since his internment, there is not a single soul on Fenris that does not know the legend of the Fell-Handed. Just as the orks believe Gork and Mork into existence, just as the eldar do, perhaps it is the Bjorn has been worshipped for so long in the sense of people telling his tale and giving reverence, every single space wolf, every single Fenrisian, and nearly every single space marine in the entirety of the adeptus astartes, he could have a power granted to him by this, making him a pseudo god, not enough to really become anything more than a decently powerful projection, but just enough to grant him the ability to walk the plains of the warp and fight. Maybe it is a mix of all of the above, a small sliver of power granted to him by his father combined with the constant story telling and saga making of Bjorn, and maybe a bit of Fenrisian planet bits thrown in, leads him to his current point, as you said, as the Spiritual Guardian Of Fenris.
So like the emperor but not as widespread
@@dionwoollaston5717 Essentially. Honestly probably alot like Commissar Yarrick, the guy who's empowered by the ork conscious to be as good as he is.
Fenrir Hel Vetr yeah but despite what most people think the orks aren't gullible, they won't believe something is true just because they were told it is, first you have to prove it to them which yarrick did same as the orks who said red vehicles are faster, yellow makes explosions bigger and blue is lucky.
The warp and the orks are basically the placebo effect on a mass scale
Maybe all sleeping dreadnoughts end up in the warp, but they just can't remember, whereas he can.
What's more fearsome than a Fenrisian astartes? One inside a heavily armed metal box with legs.
4:34 But does he do so until it is done?
Bjorn is revered by the Space Wolves, as such it is possible that this reverence gives the Fell Handed powers which wouldn't have been available to him. Then of course it is plausible he is a latent Psyker (after all the two theories aren't mutually exclusive)
Your statements on Dreadnoughts losing warp connection ignores Grey Knight Dreadnoughts, who maintain their psyker potential well into venerable status. It should be they and the Blood Angels who can maintain their abilities.
And since the Grey Knights gene seed was from the Emperor himself, it makes sense they would have a strong connection to the warp.
Grey Knights are themselves a special case (since they are not a typical chapter by any means).
Technically the Deathwatch also have Librarian Dreadnoughts (even though such warriors often originate from Chapters of The Blood, so it doesn't really count.)
@@40KTheories fair enough
I've spent over 20 years reading fluff.. Hard to remember it all or keep it together at this stage >
Yeah, it can be rather difficult these days xD
Bjorn is just too much of a bad ass. He helps to save his brothers when they need him. He fights the good fight on the material and immaterial planes of existence.
And he reminds them to always eat their veggies and not to fck dogs since it give them a bad reputation.
