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

Product Information

The name also held a deeper resonance for some, evoking the legendary Spear of Russ gifted to their primarch by the Emperor. Just as Leman Russ had received that artefact reluctantly but learnt to respect its great power, so now Roboute Guilliman offered the Primaris Space Marines to the Wolf King's sons; a potent new weapon at a time of peril. We would like to thank Games Workshop for providing us with a review copy of the Codex. Army Overview Each Great Company is a fully self-contained army, with all the troops, vehicles, and equipment necessary to make war, as well as the spacecraft necessary to transport itself. They each have their own forges and customs. The size of each Great Company is unknown, but the Space Wolves Legion is said to be one of the smaller Legions, due to the Curse of the Wulfen genetic instability within the Chapter gene-seed. [6a] As each Great Company serves as an independent army, they maintain a much greater number of troops as opposed to codex companies. [8e]

Great Company ( Tra-Tra) — Known as the Serpents of the Battle-Moon. Consisted of at least 7,900 Space Marines in support, heavy weapons, and Rapier units. Commanded by Jarl Sturgard Joriksson.In a rare mustering of their full strength, the seven jarls of the Chapter gathered their fleets at the mouth of the Nachmund Gauntlet, the primary known passage through the Great Rift from the Imperium Sanctus to the Imperium Nihilus, and prepared to hunt on an unprecedented scale. Carving momentous oaths upon their blades and battle-plate and howling the Wolf King's name, they embarked into the abyss beyond the light of the Emperor. Heimdall Wyrdstorm — was once a Rune Priest, before his injuries in battle had him interred within a Dreadnought. Ohthere Wyrdmake — Rune Priest of Fyf, his soul was obliterated by Ahriman during the Battle of Prospero [18b] 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 M41 — The Macharian Crusade. Forces under Ulrik Grimfang participate in the Crusade alongside Solar Macharius while in search for an artifact of Leman Russ. [36]

Rune Priest - A Rune Priest is what the Wolfspear call a Librarian, a title they inherited for Space Marine psykers from their progenitors. 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.The new Space Wolves Codex Supplement is a winner. It’s a the new format and it’s just a good update to the format of how GW was doing all the Space Marine codexes. Leave the generic Space Marine stuff in the main codex and have the chapter specific stuff in the supplement – there was PLENTY of rules to go around. The Wolfspear was originally created as an understrength, fleet-based Chapter by Lord Commander of the Imperium Roboute Guilliman from the ranks of his Unnumbered Sons when he brought the Primaris Marine creation technology to the Space Wolves of Fenris. Rather than using the company markings as laid down in the Codex Astartes, the Space Wolves use a number of different wolf badges to denote the different Great Companies that make up the Chapter. These include some form of a stylized wolf sigil denoting some aspect of the native Fenrisian mythology. As well as the usual Space Marine Vehicles deployed by the Chapter, the Space Wolves keep a number of Leman Russ Exterminators in their arsenal - in honour of Leman Russ. They use these in battle rarely but to devastating effect, the tanks' fearsome array of weaponry enhanced further by the skills of the marines inside. [Needs Citation] Known Vehicles 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.
