Default Space Wolf Tactica

STATUS: NOT DONE

Hello and welcome to this Space Wolf tactica. In here will be nearly everything you could possibly need to know about Space Wolves, including a bit of background fluff and tacicts on every single unit and as an army as a whole.

Please if you have anything to add please do as I could not possibly know all the tactis and fluff counting on you wolfpac for help.

Ok here we go.

Units (specific to SW)

Wolf Lord
Fluff: Each Space Wolves Great Company has a Wolf Lord. Once he is elected Wolf Lord his word is law to all those of his Company. These warriors have fought on countless worlds against countless enemies and has earned the respect of his pact. There are 11 wolf lord not including the wolf lord of the original 13th Company. These warriors are old and wise and often have rivalries between other lords especially for the position of Great Wolf.

Tactics:

Wolf Guard Battle Leader
Fluff: On the eve of battle the Wolf lord appoints leaders to command troops. These come from the Wolf Guard who have proven themselves worthy of leadership.
Tactics:

Rune Priest
Fluff: The Space Wolves are unique in that they do not have Librarians instead they have Rune Priests these warriors have potent physic powers based upon the native Fenrisian shamanic traditions. They are also keeps of the oral histories of the Space Wolves.
Tactics:

Wolf Priest
Fluff: Wolf Priests take on the role of other chapters’ Chaplains & Apothecaries. These warriors use the accumulated wisdom of the ages with the trained arts of healing and the lord of genetics to help the chapter. They provide the medic and spiritual part for the chapter.
Tactics:

Venerable Dreadnought
Fluff: These are old and wise warriors. Who have suffered grievous wounds in battle and have been blessed with the opportunity to continue fighting for the Emperor. They have fought many battles for the chapter and are called upon to help when there is a great crisis.
Tactics:

Wolf Guard (body guard)
Fluff: These warriors are the bravest and strongest of the chapter. Specifically chosen by the wolf lord. They are often given gifts of antique armour and weapons by the wolf lord. They are chosen before battle to either serve as leaders for the troops/units or to be bodyguards for leaders.
Tactics:

Wolf Guard (leaders)
Fluff: Same as above.
Tactics:

Wolf Scouts
Fluff: These warriors unlike the scouts of other Chapters are the more experienced and ferocious warriors. They are used to scout ahead and to spy on the enemy.
Tactics:

Iron Priest + Thralls
Fluff: The Iron Priests are unique to Space Wolves but are like other Chapters’ Techmarines. They look after the Chapters many technical systems. They are accompanied into battle by there Thralls half Human Half machine creatures that help the Iron priest with his many jobs.
Tactics:

Grey Hunter Packs
Fluff: Grey Hunters are the base of the Space Wolves they are strong and resolute fighters who have overcome there bloodlust as Blood claws and have survived the many battles they have fought in. They are proud warriors.
Tactics:

Blood Claws Pack
Fluff: Blood Claws are the new recruits which come in to the Chapter. They are fierce and often foolish warriors trying to prove there worth to the chapter. They are warriors who crave fighting to fulfill there bloodlust.
Tactics:

Blood Claws Bike Pack
Fluff: Sometimes Blood Claws are mounted on bikes possibly because they are the only ones foolish enough to. They are not used however for reconnaissance but solely for a rapid response unit.
Tactics:

Blood Claws Jump Packs
Fluff: The Space Wolves have a perverse disdain for jump packs, preferring to fight with both feet on the ground the way Russ indented to. Although sometimes blood claws who are to short in the tooth to know any better are given jump packs to fulfill certain objectives.
Tactics:

Long Fang Pack
Fluff: The Long Fangs are veterans, hoary with age, proud and wise. They quite literally have long fangs. These warriors have seen countless battles fought and many comrades killed. These are some of the most respected members of the Space Wolf community as they are some of the oldest and wisest.
Tactics:

Lemun Russ Exterminator
Fluff: The Lemun Russ is mostly used by the Imperial Guard. But in recognition of the Space Wolf Primarch the Space Wolves have a few Lemun Russ Exterminators. The Exterminator is a variant that instead of a battle cannon carries twin autocannons.
Tactics:

A good start lil Brother...I would add a bit more to the scripts on the various units under the fluff...and not worry about tactics on independant units...

State, in detail, what their primary functions are in the chapter and a few minor notes...use the dex as more or less a format and bring what you know of the Brother's Grey to this...

It's meant for us to not only be as accurate as we can but to be able to throw a little of ourselves into it...

Also there are twelve Wolf Lords...you still have to include the Great Wolf, as besides being the chapter master he is still a Wolf Lord in his own right with packs to lead into battle....

We will worry about the Grammar and punctuation once we get it all laid out...

If you can send it to me in a PM and will make some additions to what you have...
for instance...where you say that the Venerable dreads are ancient warriors who have suffered grievous wounds and been granted the ability to continue fighting for the Emperor...you forgot to say how they were given this priveledge...'Interned in ancient suits of Dreadnought armour, connected to life support systems which allowed them to continue in their glorious fight for the Imperium of man'

I am Wolfpack, my fangs are long, my hair grey with age...I am The Great Wolf...I fight with bolter and Axe, my armies vast, my word final. A true son of Russ, my honor above all, I hunt the heretic, the xenos, and the witch and slay them where they stand!
My sons hunt our enemies,
slay them where they falter and bring their pelts to Fenris
