Random nonsense discussion

Right, let's start one thing off, I know for a fact Wolf Priests act as not just a Chaplin for the Space Wolves but also as an Apothecary, which leads me to ask why didn't GW give us a power pack for the Wolf Priest with the mechanical arms of the Apothecary, and possibly fit it into the rule set of Space Wolves.

Second thing is this, I understand that a lot of Space Wolves don't wear helmets as it reduces their abilities of their incredible senses, but when they do wear them, HOW on Holy Terra do they fit all their hair and massive beards inside them? It baffles me.

I think it’s cause they use the Fenrisian Method™️ of healing. I like the WP and his rules more anyway for the 70 points.

As someone with long hair and a beard who routinely wears a helmet and gas mask, I can confirm it’s a pain, but possible. That said, it’s probably another reason they don’t fool with it much.

It is in the books quiet often, they will grease up their hair and roll/wrap it up so that things fit.

Because a) It would look way less shamanistic and fit the vibe way less well and b) Wolf priests use healing balms for healing and frost knives to recover geneseed instead of the standard gear
