History Funny / SpaceWolf

* The [[BladeOnAStick Spear of Russ]] is a [[LegendaryWeapon chapter relic]] that was once wielded by their primarch Leman Russ, and during the climax of the ''Grey Hunter'' he skewers Magnus the Red [[EyeScream in the eye]] by hurling it through a warp portal. Unfortunately, he and his battle-brothers were sent there to ''protect'' the Spear and his actions resulted in the artifact being lost, which is treated as a ballsy-but-stupid move by the rest of the Chapter and gets him exiled to Terra. Three books later during the events of ''Wolf's Honour'' he runs into members of the legendary Thirteenth Great Company, who fought alongside their Primarch during the Great Crusade. During the course of a war council with them one of their Rune Priests, Torvald, is the one who delivers the punchline to what is surely the biggest joke of Ragnar's existence:

-->'[[HoldYourHippogriffs Morkai's black teeth!]]' Torvald swore, shaking his head. 'He was constantly losing the damned thing. You may not remember anymore, but I do.' The Rune Priest pointed to Bulveye. 'Do you recall the time he [[AlcoholInducedIdiocy drank all that stormwine on Sirenia and tried to]] [[ATwinkleInTheSky throw the bloody spear at the moon]]? Took us four days to find it afterwards.' He chuckled ruefully and grinned at Ragnar. 'Truth be told, he hated that big boar-sticker, but the Allfather gave it to him as a gift, so he was stuck with it. He dragged it out for ceremonies, and then he'd stick it in a corner somewhere and forget about it. Drove his [[PraetorianGuard huscarls]] mad.'

* In ''Ragnar's Claw'' the Wolves "borrow" an Ork truck to get to their target, inadvertently provoking a whole fleet of Orks to start racing them (it's dark so they can't tell they're racing against Space Marines instead of other Orks). The entire passage is hilarious; this is just a sample:
