What was your favorite Prologue post?

I'll let you know once I've finished reading Ollum's.

Have you spent all your creation XP and completed character creation?

Yes.

Do you play the tabletop wargame? If so, what army(ies)?

The Tau were my first love, but trying to play their 4th edition codex through 5th edition was a little more than painful, so they were quickly set aside in favor of the Space Wolves. Currently, my Tau have come back into favor due to their 6th edition codex, but the Wolves are always nice to have access to when I need a simple generalist force that, in many ways, doesn't take as much effort to play as the Tau.

I love the Tau because of how much they contrast to the rest of 40k. Their aesthetic is utilitarian and futuristic, their philosophy allows for things to exist that aren't Tau, their tactics are realistic and they avoid unnecessary close combat. Heroism with the Tau is based on how well you serve the Tau Empire, as opposed to personal glory. In fact, personal glory is shunned as an excessive waste of effort and a heroic last stand is seen as evidence of an incompetent commander. Not to mention that they're just about the only things in this universe that actually recognize that an ancient gun isn't an ancient relic of spiritual importance, but rather just a gun that is very likely to be considerably less advanced than what they're using now.

The Space Wolves, however, are easily the most characterful and charismatic flavor of Space Marines. They're not warrior monks or aloof and uncaring alien fighters, but space viking heroes who greatly respect even the Imperial Guard and fight to protect the innocent people of the Imperium. They're one of three chapters that I know of that refuse to abandon civilians, the other two being Salamanders and Raven Guard. This is in spite of their hero complex that leads them to believe themselves to be the greatest heroes humanity has ever known. To quote Ragnar Blackmane: "We may be few, and our enemies many. Yet so long as there remains one of us still fighting, one who still rages in the name of justice and truth, then by the Allfather, the galaxy shall yet know hope."

Any questions on any of the information presented so far?

None to speak of.

On a scale of 1-Rock Hard, how excited are you?

You have no idea.
