space wolves are ok, they are like the 2nd or 3rd most likely chapter to care about civilians whatsoever, they fought the inquisition to stop them from blowing up a planet once i think. idk about the fans, i imagine the viking theme attracts
Conceptually Space Wolves are okay (beyond, as you say, viking shit being a magnet for Nazis). My problem for them is that they're so poorly written.
If I said something like "the battle between Svane Vulfbad and Harald Deathwolf", most people would be hard pressed to figure out if I'm mocking the Space Wolves or referencing a real canon event.
I like Black Templars because they play like Space Wolves lore claims they fight like.
I play Dark Angels because they're canonically as sick of Space Wolves as I am.
Also, one of the few loyalist chapters that have a weakness that both matters and is the direct fault of their own Primarch.
