Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Codex V.9 Space Wolves (En)

Product Information

Under Russ' brash leadership the Space Wolves had other incidents with their allied Astartes Legion. This included the Night of the Wolf against the World Eaters and a brief bloody confrontation on Ark Reach Secundus with the Thousand Sons. It was also hinted that the Space Wolves, serving as the Emperor's executioners, may have had something to do with the disappearance of the Two Lost Legions [16]; according to members of the Adeptus Custodes, they were among the first respondents to an act of betrayal involving the XI Legion. [62] The Dark Angels make sterling use of their Grim Resolve ability to hold objectives to the last, while making sure enemy forces pay dearly in blood for any objective they cede. They’re also bringing along their Primarch . Umbral Claw ( Strike Cruiser) - The Umbral Claw is the closest the Wolfspear come to possessing a flagship or a mobile fortress-monastery, a tradition generally eschewed by the Wolfspear who prefer that their fleets remain highly maneuverable. This vessel bears High Jarl Irik Stianolf himself through the void, acting at once as an armoury, spiritual sanctum and the lordly court of his jarldom. The gene-seed of the Space Wolves gifts the chapter's members with enhanced, animalistic abilities, including hyper-acute senses of hearing and smell, and a ferocity in battle that is almost unrivalled by any other Space Marine. [8f] The gene-seed also induces physical changes in the Wolves more extreme than those of other genetically-modified humans, such as elongated canines, shaggy hair that becomes grey, then pure white as the Wolf ages, and sometimes pale yellow eyes. [8f] [8g] The history of the Space Wolves, with a look at how they relentlessly take the fight to the enemies of the Allfather across the Sea of Stars

The Wolfspear Chapter owes its origin to Roboute Guilliman's arrival on Fenris at the head of an Indomitus Crusade fleet. Responding to the calamity of the Great Rift, the Ultramarines primarch and lord commander of the Imperium came in person to the Space Wolves, bringing with him Primaris Space Marines drawn from the Chapter's own gene-seed and the technological means to forge more of their kind. The Primarch project was the creation of twenty super humans created by the Emperor while preparing his armies for the reconquest of the galaxy prior to the Great Crusade. However, the experiment never reached its final result due to all twenty infants being scattered among the galaxy by the forces of Chaos. Over time the Emperor was reunited with his creations each having grown to adulthood and gave them leadership of their respective legions as was originally intended. [2a] Leman Russ was one such individual. After being spirited away he found himself on the planet of Fenris. Found young he was raised by some tribesman before being taken in and raised by the court of King Thengir. As he grew so did his legend and eventually Leman Russ found himself the Wolf-King. [8k] Ohthere Wyrdmake — Rune Priest of Fyf, his soul was obliterated by Ahriman during the Battle of Prospero [18b] Despite their common loyalties to the Imperium Space Marine Chapters do not always get along. Rivalries bound to develop over the millennia surface from domain rivalries and more come to pass dividing those that once stood together. Once such rivalry, ancient in its origin, exists between the Space Wolves and Dark Angels Chapters. While the origin of this rivalry has long since passed into legend there are two widely accepted accounts of its birth. [6c]

Recently however in the Ultima Founding the Space Wolves have received their first stable successor chapters, in the Icefangs, [61] Mooneaters [56] and the Wolfspear. [54] They have confirmed multiple successors within the Ultima Founding, and these display both the effects of the Canis Helix and the ability of their Librarians to control the tempestous powers of Fenris. The returned Roboute Guilliman has tried to better integrate these successors within the wider Imperium, but just as with the Space Wolves they remain culturally distinct and fiercely independent. [53b] These first Wolfspear warriors showed clear signs of their ancestry: keen-eyed and hungry for the hunt, their pointed canines marked them out as sons of Leman Russ. They bared these fangs only rarely, however, showing little emotion behind their cold predator's poise. Reiver Squads are newer Primaris Space Marine formations. Operate as special forces. [45d] The Space Wolves also operate special psyker-hunting variants of Reiver squads known as Hounds of Morkai. [52] New detachments: The new detachments are a big success, and each one is an interesting spin on playing Space Marines in different ways – list variety should massively increase, and there’s something here for every Marine faction and playstyle – including the divergent Chapters

Great Company ( Sepp) — Known as the Wight-Flame's Wielders. Consisted of at least 5,200 Space Marines in Destroyer squads and immolation units. Commanded by Jarl Hvarl Red-Blade In the novel Dark Imperium by Guy Haley, it was originally stated that the Wolfspear established their Chapter homeworld upon the planet of 108/Beta-Kalapus-9.2, which lay near the Pit of Raukos, an old, isolated Warp rift located in a region of Wilderness Space never claimed by Humanity. Annals of the Space Wolves: a lengthy and detailed timeline from the inception of the Space Wolves at the dawn of the Imperium, through ten thousand years of conquest, to the return of the Wulfenkind and the current dire state of the galaxyAfter its long elliptical journey the planet comes dangerously close to its sun. It is the short summer months when the planet is closest that the planet's crust is broken; burning great areas with lava flows, churning the seas, and causing massive tidal waves. It is during these months, referred to as the time of fire and water, that the whole of the planet changes its form. Islands are both destroyed and created in entirety, up heaving homes made during the winter and resulting in the population becoming once again nomadic barbarian tribes.

Fenrisian Wolves are Ferocious wolf-like creatures from Fenris that sometimes accompany the Space Wolves into battle. [45d]

Search Phase

With the coming of Primaris Space Marines, it was thought that the ill-effects of the Canis Helix might be mitigated. However after extensive trials by Wolf Priests, it was found that even Primaris scions of Russ will so suffer the Curse of the Wulfen. [49] Successor Chapters Also, many of the Space Wolves most honoured and treasured relics carry this symbol, having been in the possession or service of the Chapter (and hence the Imperium) since the days when Russ walked among the stars. Many of the Chapter's most sacred Banners have a rendition of this symbol on them, a tangible link to the time when Russ walked among them. Whilst many of these are treasured in their own right, perhaps the most treasured of all is the Dreadnought Bjorn the Fell-Handed, who fought alongside Russ during the Great Crusade. He carries the mark on his Dreadnought armour to show this perhaps unique distinction.
