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

Product Information

Iron Priest - An Iron Priest is the term that the Wolfspear use for a Techmarine, much like their Space Wolves progenitors. Through the bloodshed and horror that spreads from the Great Rift, the enemies of the Imperium are stalked by the fearsome Wolfspear. Their brooding mien reveals a dark mindset and their grim brotherhood of dedicated hunters seldom laugh. Amongst other genetic descendants of Russ, there are those who scent in their Wolfspear kin a silent yearning tor a hearth that will one day be theirs to fortify and defend with the same ferocity that the Fang is defended by the Space Wolves; a stronghold that, like the Fang, will echo with the chanting of sagas and the remembrance of the battle-slain. In the course of these bloody conflicts, there were many Greyshields who fell before their Chapter service could begin. To the Primaris sons of Russ, those lost from their bloodline came to be known as the "First-slain," held in great honour for the feats of arms that bought their kin passage to Fenris. This is particularly true of the Wolfspear, and for them an oath sworn upon the First-slain is as sombre and binding as any they can utter. Notably, Primaris Space Marines do not follow the same recruitment ritual as other Space Wolves. While they undertake the Test of Morkai, they do not drink from the Cup of Wulfen. [45] Heraldry Symbols and Colours

The Wolf Priests keep a watchful eye on the battles and hunts of the Fenrisian tribesmen. Should someone display extreme heroism, prowess, or martial feats the Wolf Priest will descend to collect the warrior, and deliver him from death by giving him the chance to serve the chapter. Recruits are given to the bowels of The Fang in an area known as the Gates of Morkai, where his soul is scoured for any signs of impurity. The strike cruiser Umbral Claw is the closest thing to a Chapter flagship that the Wolfspear possesses. This vessel bears High Jarl Irik Stianolf himself through the void, acting at once as the armoury, spiritual sanctum and lordly court of his jarldom.

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 galaxy 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 Hello fellow Fenrisian Fanatics! SaltyJohn from TFG Radio here to bring you my first impressions of the new Codex Supplement: Space Wolves. As with most Space Wolf displays, there is no formal system of awards, it only matters that those the Space Wolf fights with understand the significance of the symbol. However, some symbols have acquired a special significance to the Space Wolves over time, and the Sergeant and Veteran badges are good examples of this. There are also some more general symbolism which is used in the honour badges; badges with bones tend to signify wounds suffered in battle, knife and claw symbols represent ferocity and bravery in battle and wolf tails signify great courage in battle.

Stratagems, the bespoke Tempestas psychic discipline, Relics of the Fang, and optional secondary objectives that define the ways that the Space Wolves wage war 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 Wolf Guards are the personal retinue and bodyguard of the Wolf Lord commanding the Great Company, roughly equivalent to the Veterans or Command Squad units used by other chapters. Wolf Guards are often the most senior and experienced Space Wolves in the chapter, though a younger Wolf may win elevation to the Wolf Guard by performing an act of exceptional valour. Wolf Guards are often granted Terminator Honours, though they make less use of them than the Veterans of other chapters. [8c] 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 . Indeed, it is thought that the pale grey livery of the Wolfspear may owe something to the colourless plate in which the Greyshields fought, and though often embellished with runic detail and furs, it serves to remind them of the grey-clad heroes who await them in the realm of Morkai.

Army Lists

One of the new things that actually gives us hope for the upcoming Blood Angels and Dark Angels books is the fact that a new unit was added to the mix. Now, it’s really just a re-box with an accessory Sprue tossed in – but you know what, we’re cool with that. Why? Because they got new rules and it IS a new unit. Battle Leader - "Battle leader" is the term used by both the Space Wolves and the Wolfspear for a Space Marine Lieutenant, the commander of a demi-company. In the 41st Millennium the Space Wolves have a unique structure that is notably different from a standard Codex Chapter. Rather than 10 companies of 100 marines, the Space Wolves consist of 12 Great Companies of varying strengths. Each Great Company is based in The Fang, the Space Wolves Fortress-monastery and is led by a Wolf Lord who answers only to the Great Wolf. [8e]
