Vlka Fenryka History

Introduction

T he Space Wolves organization, doctrines, and history are very different from the majority of Space Marine chapters. This is one of the reasons the Space Wolves are s ch a ni! e force among the "dept s "startes and #hy they can $e an enigma for ne# players. So here is my attempt to give some insight into the history, and organization of the Space Wolves, one of my favorite chapters pl s a characterf l and interesting organization #ithin the forces of the %mperi m.

Great Companies

T he &' (reat )ompanies of the Space Wolves do not have set n m$ers and therefore the total n m$er of marines in the Space Wolves chapter is hard to pin do#n. "dditionally each (reat )ompany makes se of the tactics and strategies favored $y each individ al Wolf *ord. +o t#o (reat )ompanies #age #ar in e,actly the same #ay, many are significantly different. The follo#ing are the &' (reat )ompanies that make p the Space Wolves )hapter at present and the manner in #hich they prefere to fight.

Bran Redmaw's Great Company -The (reat )ompany of .ran /edma# often operates #ith a hammer and anvil strategy. The f rio s assa lt of .ran0s )ompany forcing an enemy to retreat into the grip of more (rey H nters laying in #ait $ehind them. Savage fighters the /edma# (reat )ompany #ill tear any foe nl cky eno gh to $e trapped $y them into shreds.

Engir Krakendoom's Great Company -" very fast and mo$ile (reat )ompany, 1ngir 2rakendoom generally prefers to deploy his company in transports #ith S#iftcla#s and Skycla#s acting as o triders to the main $ody of 2rakendoom0s )ompany. "dditionally the 2rakendoom (reat )ompany is proficient in ship-to-ship com$at and it is s ally the forces of 1ngir 2rakendoom that are called pon to lead the #ay #hen the Space Wolf fleet goes to #ar.

Erik Morkai's Great Company -1asily the most n s al in methodology, 1rik Morkai0s )ompany are stealth and covert operations e,perts. +one are more c nning or crafty than the #arriors of 1rik Morkai0s )ompany. 1mploying many Wolf Sco ts, the forces of the Morkai (reat )ompany are even noted to have stalked and am$ shed the dreaded 3ark 1ldar.

Gunnar Red Moon's Great Company -( nnar /ed Moon0s (reat )ompany e,emplify the traits most common in the Space Wolves. *o d, ra co s and straight for#ard. Wolf *ord ( nnar /edmoon favors the veteran *ong Fangs, reasoning that the seasoned #arriors make for the $est companions on the $attlefield and off. " traditional and completely Space Wolf approach to com$at.

Logan Grimnar's Great Company -The (reat )ompany of the (reat Wolf *ogan (rimnar have $oth great honor and great responsi$ility. Fanatically loyal to the (reat Wolf and ever vying and competing for positions in the va nted Wolf ( ard, the Space Wolves of (rimnar0s (reat )ompany are ever trying to earn their lords favor.

Harald Deathwolf's Great Company -Harald 3eath#olf rides the mighty Th nder#olf %cetooth and his (reat )ompany as a #hole is accompanied $y a verita$le horde of Fenrisian Wolves and Th nder#olf )avalry.

B orn !tormwolf's Great Company -The Storm#olf (reat )ompany are primarily employed as frontline assa lt troops, *ord .jorn Storm#olf favoring anything that makes a lot of noise. "s a res lt the Storm#olf (reat )ompany employs many Vindicators, heavy #eapons, $ikes and other #eapons and #argear that can ca se a lot of destr ction and havoc.

The Grand Annulus

Egil "ron #olf's Great Company -The %ron Wolf (reat )ompany goes to #ar as a rolling mass of "startes armor, 1gil %ron Wolf himself riding at the head of his )ompany0s heavy armor in his o#n personalised *and /aider. S#ift transports f ll of Space Wolves c t off escape and retreat #hile 1gil leads a cr shing hammer $lo# of armored might do#n pon the enemy.

Krom Dragonga$e's Great Company -The 3ragongaze (reat )ompany is one #here talent and valo r are re#arded regardless of so rce and every opport nity for challenge and glory in $attle is siezed.

Ragnar Bla%kmane's Great Company -The .lackmane (reat )ompany contains more .lood )la#s than any other and is second in size only to the (reat )ompany of *ogan (rimnar himself, $oasting almost '44 #arriors. /agnar0s )ompany e,cells at 5lanetary "ssa lts and his )ompany is often picked to spearhead an invasion or co nter-attack $y the Space Wolves. The .lackmane (reat )ompany0s packs have $ecome e,perts of a form of 3rop 5od "ssa lt called

the 6)la#s of / ss.6

!&en Bloodhowl's Great Company -Fierce in appearance and nat re, the marines of the .loodho#l (reat )ompany tattoo themselves #ith scenes of their accomplishments and r nes, Sven himself is covered from head to toe #ith tattoes depicting scenes from his Saga. %t is said that Sven has gone so far to tattoe his latest deeds pon the skins of his enemies. The .loodho#l )ompany is nearly o$sessed #ith flames, the marines of the )ompany performing daring acts of fire-$reathing and fire-s#allo#ing at feasts, it is even r mored that the vang ard forces of the .loodho#l )ompany #ill $reath flames pon their foes.

K arl Grim'lood's Great Company -The (rim$lood (reat )ompany are fierce competitors #ith the .loodho#l (reat )ompany and $oasts no less than &' *and /aider /edeemers along #ith many other flame #eapons. 2jarl (rim$lood is said to have e,tremely acc rate foresight, seemingly reading f t re events in the flickering of flames. %n addition the (rey H nters of the (rim$lood (reat )ompany have a special rite #here #arriors #ho have slain a foe #ith flame #ill paint their faces #ith $lood $efore each $attle and $ecome kno#n as 6/ed H nters.6

Lost Companies

F irst and most legendary amongst the *ost )ompanies of the Space Wolves is the fa$led &7th )ompany. Vanished from the dark days of the Hor s Heresy the Space Wolves of the &7th )ompany have h nted the traitors thro gh the 1ye of Terror itself for nigh on ten millenia. Ho#ever that )ompany of no$le #arriors is not the only one co nted as a 0*ost0 )ompany $y the )hapter. The empty &7th space on the (rand "nn l s of the Space Wolves is reserved for all the 0*ost0 )ompanies and there are many #ays these companies come to $e lost. The most o$vio s and disheartening is the damnation of $ecoming lost in the #arp, the ships of the (reat )ompany ca ght in a deadly Warp Storm or dragged to their doom $y a predator of the empyrion, their $odies and so ls trapped #ithin the #arp for all time. Their vessels sometimes s rfacing ages after their dissapearance as ghost ships or as part of a dreaded Space H lk, ghost ships testament to the perils of Warp Travel.

The second #ay in #hich a )ompany $ecomes lost is $y choice. This seems strange to some in the %mperi m $ t to the Space Wolves it can $e a matter of pragmatism of a difference of interests #ith the )hapters c rrent (reat Wolf. "t times a (reat )ompany #ill find itself so far afield that ret rn to the Fang #o ld take years, if not decades, or a Warp Storm might $lock any hope of ret rn and in these cases some *ords choose to forgo any attempt at a ret rn and simply soldier on, campaigning ntil the last Space Wolf falls. "t other times a Wolf *ord may have a f ndamental disagreement #ith the )hapters c rrent (reat Wolf and rather than contin e in his service #ill opt to take those #arriors and vessels loyal to him and leave to fight the enemies of the 1mperor in #hatever #ay he chooses fit ntil his #arriors strength is e,pended.

The last and most insidio s #ay a )ompany can $ecome 0*ost0 is to t rn its $ack on the 1mperor, $ecoming renegades or in the #orst cases #holly em$racing the corr ption of )haos. +o )hapter speaks easily a$o t those of their n m$er #ho have fallen to the grip of damnation, $ t only the (rey 2nights can claim to have never had a marine fall to chaos. These #arriors are hated and reviled $y the rest of the )hapter and no sacrifice is too great to see these heretics destroyed and the honor of the )hapter restored.

Recruitment

T he Space Wolves recr it e,cl sively from Fenris. Those chosen $y the Space Wolves may often have $een mortally #o nded, and are repaired $y the )hapters technology. To $e re$orn and have a chance at $ecoming something more, a Space Marine, a Space Wolf, a son of / ss. The aspirants are taken to training camps s ch as / ssvik, (rimnir and Valks$erg #here they #ill learn and train in the hopes of $ecoming #orthy. Where other chapters simply have aspirants fight ntil only the strongest stand, the Space Wolves set a more e,acting standard. Skill in $attle is important, $ t it is not the only thing that matters in $ecoming a Wolf. The "spirants are forced to train as teams, to #ork together as packs, to s cceed or fail together, p t p against the odds. To face the harshness of nat re, the depredations of the #ild monsters of "saheim, and the e,acting e,pectations of the training Sergeants. 8nly those #ho have proven themselves #orthy are $ro ght into the )hapter as .lood )la#s. (iven the implants that transform them into "dept s "startes and trained f rther still in the facilities of the Fang the "spirants face one final test. To master themselves, and the genec rse of the )hapter, the Mark of the W lfen. "spirants in their final stages of implantation are taken far from the Fang and left in the #ilderness #ith little to aid them. %f they can make their #ay $ack to the Fang #itho t s cc m$ing to the call of the W lfen or falling to the predators of the #ild then they #ill $ecome f ll mem$ers of the )hapter, as .lood )la#s.

.lood )la# packs are not the sco ts typical of other )hapters. F lly armored in po#er armor and implanted #ith the .lack )arapace, the &9th %mplant of the transformation process, the .lood )la#s are f lly "dept s "startes. Ho#ever they have yet to master their skills and their l st for $attle. "fter their initiation they are assigned to a (reat )ompany. Sho ld the Wolves s rvive to temper their l st for $attle they #ill ascend to the rank of (rey H nter, and cease their e,istence as initiates, and $ecome veterans of the )hapter. .eca se of the ferocio s l st for $attle held $y all .lood )la#s, their attrition rate is terri$le, and not many s rvive to $ecome (rey H nters.

The Packs of the Space Wolves

nstead of organizing into the Tactical, "ssa lt and 3evastator s! ads as the )ode, "startes dictates, the Space Wolves form their troops into 5acks. 1ach pack #ill generally $e made p of #arriors #ho have fo ght together for some time and #ill #ork together as a pack of #olves on the h nt. For the Space Wolves their senses of smell and hearing are j st as important to them as their keen eyesight. 5acks #ill #ork together to sniff and so nd o t their foes, h nting their prey like the #olves of Fenris, identifying the locations of their comrades as m ch $y smell as $y any technological means. The Space Wolves have fo r primary organizations of packs. .lood )la#s, (rey H nters, *ong Fangs, and Wolf ( ard. There are also Wolf Sco ts, #hich are an oddity among the "dept s "startes.

Blood Claws -.lood )la# packs are the initiates of the Space Wolves, the yo ngest mem$ers of the )hapter fresh from their transformation into Space Marines. .lood )la#s have yet to f lly contain their l st for $attle and so are simply enco raged to let it o t, and get over their $attle frenzy, allo#ing that in time, those #ho s rvive #ill temper themselves and $ecome (rey H nters, $looded and e,perienced #arriors of the )hapter. %n $attle .lood )la#s are armed to f lfill their $attle frenzy, given a variety of close com$at #eapons and armed #ith $olt pistols the .lood )la# packs are s ally at the vang ard of any Space Wolf charge.

!wift%laws -" s $set of .lood )la#s, the S#iftcla#s are called p from the ranks of the .lood )la#s #hen the )hapter needs a s#ift, hard hitting assa lt force. The yo ng and am$itio s .lood )la#s are #ell s ited to this role. %n addition to forming a lightning assa lt force, S#iftcla#s #ill occasionally $e tasked #ith a dangero s ! est to track do#n and slay a partic larly dangero s enemy.

!ky%laws -Skycla#s are another s $set of the .lood )la#s, formed from the most tro $lesome and headstrong mem$ers of the .lood )la# packs. 5romotion to the Skycla#s is considered at $est a d $io s one, after all / ss #as al#ays content to fight #ith his feet firmly on the gro nd, no self respecting Space Wolf #o ld fight any other #ay.

Grey Hunters -The $ack$one of the chapter are the (rey H nter packs. 1,perienced marines #ho have gotten over their l st for $attle and tempered their so ls #ith age and #isdom. (rey H nters are nevertheless still skilled com$atants in close ! arters fighting and almost al#ays are armed to do $attle $oth at range and in the teeth of the enemy.

Long (angs -*ong Fangs are small packs of aged Space Wolves #ho have lived long eno gh for their canines to gro# e,ceedingly long, hence their name. *ong Fangs are armed #ith a variety of heavy #eapons and led $y a veteran pack leader #ho can caref lly and e,pertly direct their firepo#er to the $est effect.

Lone #ol&es -8ver time as Space Wolf packs take cass alties and gain e,perience they pass thro gh the ranks, event ally the last fe# s rvivors making it into the va nted ranks of the Wolf ( ard. Ho#ever sometimes a pack #ill s ffer partic larly harsh cass alties leaving a lone s rvivor #ho has not yet earned a place in the Wolf ( ard. These last standing *one Wolves #ill take on an air of vengeance and doom, determined to regain the honor of their pack in com$at or die trying. Those #ho s cceed in their ! ests to seek o t and slay dangero s or potent enemies and s rvive are accepted into the Wolf ( ard, the rest have at least earned an honora$le death in com$at.

#olf Guard -Wolf ( ard are the last variety of Space Wolves packs. The e! ivalent of veterans in other chapters, Wolf ( ard form the $odyg ard of their Wolf *ord. "rmed to the teeth #ith all manner of #eapons and sometimes even #earing s its of ancient Tactical 3readna ght "rmor. Wolf ( ard perform a variety of roles #ithin the Space Wolves chapter. Forming $odyg ards for Wolf *ords and other officers and specialists, $ t also from time to time leading other packs into $attle, or sometimes leading smaller operations in place of the Wolf *ord.

)hunderwolf Ca&alry -Th nder#olf )avalry nits are a s $ gro p of the Wolf ( ard. "ccording to official %mperial records the Th nder#olf )avalry don0t e,ist and the Space Wolves keep them as a closely g arded secret.

#olf !%outs -Wolf Sco ts are attached to the (reat )ompany of the (reat Wolf and follo# his orders, dispatched #here and #hen he #ills. +ot the recr its of other "startes )hapters, Wolf Sco ts are grizzled veterans, #ho opt to go #itho t their f ll s its of po#er armor to $etter sco t o t the gala,y for their chapter. 3eployed to gather information on $attlefields $efore and d ring a campaign Wolf Sco ts provide vital intelligence to their $rethren.

Officers and Specialists

Great #olf -The (reat Wolf is the Space Wolves e! ivalent of the )hapter Master, generally considered a ste#ard a#aiting the ret rn of 5rimarch *eman / ss. The (reat Wolf leads the chapter in / ss: a$sence. )hosen from among the )hapters Wolf *ords, the c rrent (reat Wolf is *ogan (rimnar, #ho has lead the )hapter for over eight cent ries.

#olf Lords -The #ar leaders of the (reat )ompanies, the )hapter incl des && Wolf *ords. M ch of the time the attrition rate for Wolf *ords is fairly significant $eca se of the )hapters disposition to#ards close com$at, ho#ever

some Wolf *ords have seen their tho sandth year pass. /agnar .lackmane is one of the )hapters c rrent Wolf *ords and is in fact the yo ngest Wolf *ord in the )hapters history.

"ron *riests -The %ron 5riests are the chapter:s e! ivalent of Techmarines.

#olf *riests -Wolf 5riests are a ni! e officer class #ithin the "dept s "startes. " mi,t re of )haplain and "pothecary the Wolf 5riests administer to the physical and mental #ell $eing of the )hapter:s #arriors and also choose the aspirants to the chapter from among the tri$es of Fenris. ;lrik the Slayer is a famo s Wolf 5riest #ho mentored many nota$le mem$ers of the )hapter incl ding *ogan (rimnar and /agnar .lackmane.

Rune *riests -The Space Wolves do not have *i$rarians as s ch, instead the )hapter maintains a n m$er of / ne 5riests, potent psykers #ho e,amine the minds of all aspirants to the )hapter for any sign of taint or treachery. "rmed and e! ipped differently from *i$rarians, / ne 5riests do not #ear the psychic hoods of *i$rarians, and do not al#ays carry force #eapons, #hat the Space Wolves call r nic #eapons. The / ne 5riests ho#ever are potent psykers in their o#n right and fierce #arriors as are all men of Fenris.

+enera'le Dreadnaughts -The 3readna ghts of the Space Wolves are generally ancient and #ise #arriors, #ho spend a great deal of time in dreamless sleep $eneath the fang, only a#akened in times of great need. The Venera$le 3readna ghts of the Space Wolves may sometimes even lead forces of #olves into $attle in the a$sence of another capa$le #ar leader, or sometimes in deference to their ancient #isdom.

he sagas relating to *eman / ss are kno#n to the gala,y largely d e to the efforts of one (na ril the 1lder, a contemporary of Fenrisian 2ing Thengir. The sagas tell ho# one of the infant 5rimarchs came to rest on a distant #orld from Terra kno#n as Fenris. (iven the harsh climate it is nlikely that any lesser man #o ld not have s rvived, $ t *eman / ss #as a 5rimarch, and no lesser man. "ccording to the Sagas *eman / ss #as taken in and raised $y a Fenrisian she-#olf. / ss: companion #olves Freki and (eri are $elieved $y many to $e his original pack $rothers, raised at a$o t the same time as / ss himself. / ss even attested at times to his ?l pine parentage,6 #hich can perhaps attest to some of the traditions and ni! e organizational aspects of the Space Wolves themselves.

Ho#ever the real tale of *eman / ss $egins #ith (na ril:s saga ?The "scension of the Wolf-2ing6 #hich tells the tale of #hen / ss first met the no$ility of Fenris. The tale tells that one fatef l Hell#inter, #hen the yo ng 5rimarch #ent #ith his pack to raid a near$y h man settlement. The yo ng primarch smashed thro gh the village, $reaking into the store ho se to steal great sla$s of salted meat and fighting #ith immense ferocity against the villagers to allo# his pack to escape #ith their spoils. The villagers #ere asto nded $y #hat they had seen and petitioned their king, Thengir of / ss. The 2ing sent a h nting party #ithin the #eek armed #ith the $est #eapons he co ld m ster, razor sharp $lades and drake-poison tipped arro#s.

The h nters tracked do#n and sle# many of / ss: pack, incl ding the venera$le she-#olf herself. / ss #as fo nd defending the $ody of his pack "lpha against the h nters, even pin c shioned #ith poisoned arro#s. 3espite his insane constit tion / ss s cc m$ed to the sheer ! antity of potent poison and #as s $d ed and gagged. .o nd and gagged / ss #as $ro ght $efore the 2ing. That evening the #olf-man #as $ro ght $efore 2ing Thengir and told to grovel for his life. %nstead / ss raised himself to his f ll height and let o t a roar that #as so lo d and lasted for so long that many had to leave the 2ings hall rather than hear any more of it. Then / ss spat a h ge go$$et of $lood and poison straight at the 2ing, n-co#ed and #ith golden eyes shining #ith pride.

"fter that night / ss #as taken into the personal care of the king and #as ta ght to fight and fish, and very ! ickly to speak. / ss sho#ed a great aptit de #ith #eaponry and indeed anything he did. .efore long / ss even $ested the 2ings champion in a contest of $attle a,es. %t #as then that the 2ing deemed / ss #orthy to receive a name, and so *eman / ss #as $orn.

The ne,t years of *eman / ss: life are mostly hearsay and legends, some of the legends tell of / ss tearing p 8aks #ith his $are hands, others of #restling a Fenrisian Mammoth single handed and roasting it #hole, and of sending armies of 2ing Thengir:s enemies fleeing #itho t s staining a scratch. Whatever is really tr e, the fact is that / ss: fame spread far and #ide and #hen Thengir died, there #as no ! estion as to the s ccession. 2ing *eman / ss took the throne.

The remainder of the saga has never $een #ritten, $ t kept alive thro gh oral tradition #ithin the Space Wolves and every mem$er of the chapter kno#s the tale $y heart. 8n every "ll#inters eve the / ne 5riests tell the tale of / ss. %t #as d ring one s ch feast that %n! isitor )halfont sn ck a vo,-recorder to the feast

and at the ta$le of (reat Wolf )ormack Wolftong e, a record of the tale #as made.

%n short time / ss #as hailed as 2ing of Fenris, his armies n$eata$le and his #isdom n! estiona$le none co ld $est the Wolf-2ing. Within / ss: kingdom men and #olf lived in tr ce and his co rt #as attended $y $oth the fiercest #arlords and the fairest maidens. With his deeds spreading to legends it #as not too long $efore Terra came to call on the 2ing of Fenris. So it #as shortly after / ss $ecame 2ing that the 1mperor came to Fenris. )loaked in disg ise, $oth physical and psychic the 1mperor came to / ss as a co#led and $ent #anderer, appearing in the great hall of *eman / ss his a ra of po#er shro ded. The great #olves sl nk a#ay at the 1mperor:s approach ho#ever and he #alked p to the throne #here / ss slo ched leis rely, feasting on the roast leg of a $oar and #ith a flagon of fine mead in hand. Freki and (eri lo nging at his feet and a pool of $lood aro nd his throne. Having recently ret rned from a h nt / ss #as not pleased to have his feast interr pted and the feast hall silenced at his gro#l. Freki stood at his master:s so nd $ t (eri did not, noticing that the stranger met their master:s gaze nflinchingly.

%t #as then that the stranger gave / ss his challenge. / ss #o ld decide the contest, and if the stranger #on he #o ld sit at the right hand of / ss d ring the feast. / ss proclaimed that if he #on, the stranger had to serve him for a year. (rimly the stranger agreed. The first competition / ss decided #o ld $e an eating one. With great ! antities of roast meet $ro ght forth on $rass shields / ss and the stranger set to eating. The Stranger ate a great deal indeed, cons ming more than any of / ss: #arriors, $ t #hen the stranger looked at / ss he sa# that the 5rimarch #as finished #ith his third " roch already, not a scrap of meet left on the scattered $ones. .o#ing his head to / ss the stranger accepted defeat. . t / ss #as enjoying his sport. So / ss called for a drinking match, $ t $efore the contest co ld $e concl ded the entire feast had $een dr nk dry. %t #as then that the #anderer had a gleam of anger come to his eyes. )alling / ss a dr nkard and gl tton, at #hich the entire co rt #ent silent. / ss dre# his great s#ord and stepped onto the feast ta$le #ith a gro#l to iss e the conse! ences of his last challenge.

"t the challenge the #anderer thre# off his disg ise to reveal his golden form, clad in $aro! e armor the 1mperor dre# forth a shimmering $lade. / ss roared and charged, clashing #ith the #anderer in a titanic clash of arms. The 1mperor:s golden armor reflected the glo# of a tho sand torches, and / ss: skin glistened #ith s#eat and $lood, his matted hair flying #ild as he charged #ith f ry and passion. / ss fo ght #ith speed and precision, co ntered $y the li! id grace of the #anderer. The tempered f ry and skill of / ss, learned from a lifetime of living $y his skill and #its proved #itho t a do $t to $e one of the 1mperor:s lost sons, displaying a martial skill $eyond that of any mortal. Finally convinced the 1mperor $ro ght his 5o#er Fist in a glittering ark to connect s! arely #ith / ss: face, sending the 5rimarch straight into nconscio sness. +evertheless #ithin the ho r / ss #as $ack on his feet, his head cleared. .loody and #ith $roken fang, / ss smiled and s#ore fealty to the 1mperor.

Within #eeks / ss had learned all he needed too and #as proclaimed fit to lead his legion in the (reat )r sade across the stars. The 1mperor introd ced / ss to his legion and ! ickly / ss settled into the role of leading the Space Wolves. Soon the *egion:s marines $ecame as sons to / ss.

*eman / ss #as gifted a magnificent s it of armor thrice $lessed $y the 1mperor, and his s#ord #as replaced $y the magnificent Frost .lade Mjalnar, forged from the teeth of the mighty %ce 2raken (ormenjarl. The $lade #as said to $e a$le to split the mo ntains of Fenris in t#ain.

/ ss joined the (reat )r sade enth siastically, thro#ing himself and his legion into the forefront of every $attle, striding at the fore of his #arriors slaying all $efore him and his presence heralded $y the ho#ling of his pack.

+ot all #as #ell #ith the (reat )r sade ho#ever. Tension $et#een the *egions #as ever present, sometimes res lting in more than a little hostility. 8ne s ch conflict occ rred $et#een the Space Wolves and the 3ark "ngels, $ t partic larly $et#een *eman / ss and *ion 1l:>ohnson.

8n the #orld of 3 lan, a traitor commander named 3 rath ins lted *eman / ss, calling him the 1mperor:s lap dog. 1nraged / ss vo#ed to take the head of 3 rath for his ins lt to the Space Wolves honor. / ss demanded that the 3ark "ngels #ho #ere also participating in the engagement stand do#n and allo# the Space Wolves to destroy the traitor. Ho#ever *ion 1l:>ohnson had reconnoitered the fortress of the traitor e,tensively and had already formed a comple, and precise attack plan. *oath to let / ss spoil his plans >ohnson attacked at da#n and sle# the traitor 3 rath in f ll vie# of the Space Wolves em$attled $elo# the fortress $attlements. F rio s / ss confronted >ohnson after the $attle and p nched him, $eginning a #restling match that lasted several days, $efore / ss realized ho# ironic and foolish the fighting #as and stopped to let o t a ra co s la gh. +ot am sed >ohnson s cker p nched / ss, knocking him nconscio s and s#ept a#ay. .y the time / ss a#oke the 3ark "ngels #ere long gone.

he Hor s Heresy sa# the (ala,y drenched in $lood and #ar, as Hor s and no less than nine of the Space Marine *egions descended into treachery. "s the gala,y #as thro#n into chaos the Space Wolves #ere ho#ever not involved in many of the terri$le fighting at Terra. +evertheless the Space Wolves #ere heavily involved in the fo ndations of the Heresy, #hen they forged their ageless fe d #ith the Tho sand Sons Space Marine *egion.

Te,ts and acco nts recovered $oth from the li$raries of 5rospero and the histories of the Space Wolves have $een pieced together to provide acco nts of #hat follo#ed.

"s the Hor s Heresy ripened Magn s the /ed, 5rimarch of the Tho sand Sons, sent a psychic message to the 1mperor #arning him of Hor s: $etrayal. Ho#ever in so doing Magn s revealed the e,tent of his p rs it of sorcery, affirming / ss: deepest s spicions a$o t the cyclopean 5rimarch. "t / ss: insistence the 1mperor agreed that Magn s m st $e $ro ght to acco nt for his $etrayals. (athering his entire legion *eman / ss traveled across the stars to $ring do#n the Tho sand Sons. His s spicions f rther affirmed $y half-tr ths and lies sp n $y Hor s, / ss s#ept do#n on 5rospero #ith the #eight of his entire *egion. .om$arding the planet mercilessly and tearing a $loody s#ath across the planet to the very citadel of the Tho sand Sons. 5rospero had $een a paradise of a #orld, ice and ivory to#ers scraping the sky, vast man made lakes and reflecting pools, and magnificent li$raries and places of learning. +evertheless / ss felt it #as simply a veneer of civilization over a tainted heart. The Space Wolves assa lted 5rospero #itho t mercy and the fighting against the Tho sand Sons #as fierce indeed, lasting many days at the cost of tho sands of lives.

+o matter ho# #ise the Tho sand Sons #ere, or ho# potent their sorcery #as, they co ld not stand against the sheer f ry of the Space Wolves on the field of #ar. "t the center of the Space Wolves $attlelines #as the &7th (reat )ompany lead $y >orin .loodfang. The &7th )ompany #as comprised of those $attle $rothers #ho manifested the c rse of the # lfen, transformed into half #olf $easts in the heat of com$at. "gainst s ch f ry and $estial ferocity the Tho sand Sons co ld not hold, event ally a massive hole #as torn in the lines of the Tho sand Sons and slo#ly $ t s rely the #arriors of 5rospero #ere c lled, c t do#n $y the Space Wolves sheer f ry.

The loss of every single Space Marine of the Tho sand Sons is recorded in 5rospero:s *ament, #hich #hile certainly s spect, is the only acco nt of Magn s: terri$le $argain. Watching his legion torn apart $y the $estial Wolves, Magn s roared to the heavens for salvation and help came. Magn s: $ody #as #arped $y insane po#er, and ten fingered hands shot from the soil of 5rospero to defend it:s fortresses, the screams of Magn s drove h ndreds of Space Wolves insane and still they fo ght on, their f ry and #illpo#er alone driving them on.

%t #as then that Magn s charged forth and laid into the Space Wolves, his horrific gaze petrifying anything it fell on, t rning even the sto test *ong Fangs to d st, nstoppa$le the (iant crashed thro gh the Space Wolves. *eman / ss disengaged from the s#irling melee and lifted a Tho sand Sons marine $odily and thre# him into the face of Magn s. Temporarily $linded $y the attack / ss smashed into Magn s. Someho# the

giant did not fall and instead delivered a cr shing $lo# to / ss: chest, sending splinters of )eramite into his heart. +evertheless / ss gra$$ed Magn s: arm as it dre# $ack for another p nch and kicked the 5rimarch in the eye. Ho#ling in pain Magn s st m$led $ack and / ss took advantage of his opponent:s #eakness to lift Magn s from the gro nd and $reak Magn s: $ack over his knee. Seeing their 5rimarch $roken the Tho sand Sons t rned and fled $ t as / ss prepared to e,ec te Magn s #ith Mjalnar, Magn s gasped a #ord of po#er and vanished into the gro nd.

The reports on ho# the Tho sand Sons escaped 5rospero are many and varied. What is certain is that the Tho sand Sons #ere not destroyed, as they contin e to plag e the %mperi m to this day. Magn s himself even managed to s rvive someho# and even managed to save a great deal of the Tho sand Sons learning and kno#ledge. Ho#ever the Tho sand Sons escaped, the &7th )ompany, the W lfen-kind, p rs ed them. To this day the fate of the &7th )ompany is not kno#n. Ho#ever r mors from the &7th .lack )r sade and some fe# eye #itness reports indicate that strange half #olf marines $earing the colors and iconography of the Space Wolves have $een seen appearing on vario s $attlefields to tear into the forces of chaos $efore disappearing once more.
