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

Product Information

After 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. [8j] Great Company ( For) — Known as the Blood-worm's Masters. Consisted of at least 8,600 Space Marines in Breacher Squads with self-propelled artillery. Commanded by Jarl Lufven Close-Handed Power level: Our initial read is that this is a book which will slot into the existing meta and hold its own without massively upsetting things, which is 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] 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.

Ultramarines • White Scars • Iron Hands • Raven Guard • Salamanders • Imperial Fists • Silver Templars 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] Jarl Halga Hyrdred - Halga Hyrdred is a jarl of the Wolfspear and the commander of one of its seven jarldoms. Battle-Brother Igurd Bryn served in Halga's Jarldom after being recruited into the Wolfspear from Fenris. 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]To bind themselves to this duty, Wolfspear warriors make solemn vows before battle and carve runic representations of them into their weapons and armour, often inlaying these with burnished metal or the powdered bones of lost comrades. Some warriors also ink their oaths into their very flesh, so that to look upon the bared face of a Wolfspear Veteran is like viewing an ancient runestone covered in sigils. Rune Priests are the Wolves' equivalent to the Librarians of other chapters. It is their duty to keep the knowledge of the chapter’s history, reciting the great sagas of old. In battle they wield formidable psychic powers, rooted in the shamanistic traditions of Fenris. [Needs Citation] Heimdall Wyrdstorm — was once a Rune Priest, before his injuries in battle had him interred within a Dreadnought.

M42 — As the Great Rift opens, the Space Wolves wage many campaigns to try and contain the chaos. Due to the Third War for Armageddon, Hunt for the Wulfen, and the Siege of the Fenris System, the Chapter is badly depleted. [49] Logan Grimnar begins to battle a massive Ork resurgence in the Fenris Sector, guarding the way to Terra itself. [62a] It was then that the first Primaris Space Marines are offered to the Chapter by a Torchbearer Fleet and Krom Dragongaze, who has a positive view of the new warriors. However Grimnar is distrustful of these new marines, who are not of Fenris, and is disdaindul of the "Legion" breaker Roboute Guilliman. [62b] Fearing Guilliman seeks to control the Space Wolves, a full muster of the badly depleted chapter takes place at The Fang, and summit with Guilliman is held. Logan seems to deny the newcomers to the Space Wolves and refuses to cooperate with Guilliman, instead seeking to meet and potentially change his fate which he thinks is to die at the hands of Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. [62c] However after hearing of the experiences of Kjarg Iron-Oath Logan has a change of heart and sees the Primaris Marines as worthy of being true sons of Fenris. Afterwards the Space Wolves become committed to the Indomitus Crusade and seek to smash the Ork threat as Guilliman advances into Imperium Nihilus. [62d] 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. Great Wolf: The Chapter Master of the Space Wolves, the Great Wolf is chosen from among the Wolf Lords, and leads his own Great Company. The current Great Wolf is Logan Grimnar who has held the position for the past 700 years. Fenris is home to hardy, nomadic human tribes, opportunistic hunters during the brief and verdant spring, fierce raiders during the depths of winter. They must survive the predations of the most terrifying monsters in all the Imperium of Man: cave bears, great wolves, massive krakens of the deep oceans. Any human that survives to adulthood is both cunning and mighty.M42 — Invasion of the Stygius Sector. The Primaris Space Marines earn a strong reputation among the Space Wolves. [45] 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 M41 — The Months of Shame — In the aftermath of the Armageddon conflict the Space Wolves move to protect Imperial Guard and civilians from Armageddon from Inquisitorial purges, leading to a first a "Cold War" and eventually a direct clash between the two powers. At the conflicts peak, Fenris itself is besieged. [15] Stratagems, the bespoke Tempestas psychic discipline, Relics of the Fang, and optional secondary objectives that define the ways that the Space Wolves wage war

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 Space Wolves seem to be an aggressive board control army they want the battle to happen in the center of the board and at close quarters where they outshine most other armies in Warhammer 40k right now. You should be doing very well on the Primary and holding 2 or more objectives a turn easily. So here is a rundown of what I am really interested in trying out in 9th Edition with Space Wolves: My Ragnar and some buddies, waiting to hit the tabletop soon. I hope you enjoyed, my first impressions of the units I am excited about from Codex Supplement: Space Wolves.The Space Wolves’ Primarch was Leman Russ – the Wolf King, Emperor’s Executioner, and many other titles. We have a whole guidedevoted to singing the saga of Leman Russ! 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 Wolf Priests combine the roles of Chaplain and Apothecary within the chapter. They are selected from any part of the chapter but usually from the Long Fangs or Wolf Guard due to the greater wisdom of these marines. Instead of using codex medical equipment, Wolf Priests using healing potions and balms, using knowledge passed down from one Wolf Priest to the next. They are also responsible for the selection of new Aspirants to the chapter, observing the frequent skirmishes among the human inhabitants of Fenris and selecting worthy young men to undergo the trials. Edge of Silence • War Zone Charadon ( Act I • Act II) • War Zone Octarius ( Book I • Book II) • War Zone Nachmund ( Vigilus Alone • Rift War) • Crusade ( Beyond the Veil • Plague Purge • Amidst the Ashes • Containment • Catastrophe • Wars of Faith) • Arks of Omen ( Abaddon • Angron • Vashtorr • Farsight • The Lion)

Other aspirants struggle through landscapes more comparable with the Space Wolves' frigid homeworld, such as the perilous ice moon of Xindos II. Wherever they are tested, these warriors face the same gauntlet as their counterparts on Fenris, and only the strongest progress into the elite brotherhood of the Wolfspear. They are led by an officer called a "jarl" (a captain or Wolf Lord equivalent) who possesses close to full autonomy over the direction of his jarldom. In lieu of the usual wolf iconography utilised by their progenitors to indicate company assignment, the Wolfspear instead utilise various jarldom insignia. The Death World of Fenris: notable as especially harsh even amongst the death worlds of the Imperium, Fenris is a world of fire and ice – this section details just how brutal life on this inhospitable planet can be

Space Marine Adventures ( Rise of the Orks • Doomsday Countdown) • Fireteam • Kill Team • Combat Arena: Clash of Champions • Boarding Actions Fenrisian Wolves are Ferocious wolf-like creatures from Fenris that sometimes accompany the Space Wolves into battle. [45d] Iron Priest - An Iron Priest is the term that the Wolfspear use for a Techmarine, much like their Space Wolves progenitors. When they wake they find themselves naked in the snows of Fenris, their bodies aching from the implantation of the first Space Marine augmentations, armed only with a knife. If they can return to the Fang alive, they have earned the right to attempt the trials that follow and may one day become a fully-fledged Space Wolf. 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]
