Space Wolves - The Wolves of Fenris
The Codex Astartes is a vast collection of teachings regarding military strategy, organisational structure and moral code of the space marines. Written by Roboute Guilliman, primarch of the Ultamarines legion, it was created after the Horus Heresy to prevent new heresies among the loyalist marines. Most space marine chapters honor its word to a letter, deviating from its teachings in only a handful of cases. The Space Wolves, however, outright refuse to be chained by its regulations, sticking to their own, unique ways.
Hailing from the frigid and harsh death world of Fenris, the Space Wolves have fully adopted their home planet’s barbarian culture as an important part of their chapter’s identity. Called “Vlyka Fenryka” (The Wolves of Fenris) in their native tongue, they have many unique customs that are markedly different from other space marine chapters; for example, their preferring to feast and drink before battle while other space marines would prepare for the fight through prayer and meditation. Anti-authoritarian, stubborn and plain-spoken, they often appear savage in comparison to other space marines, despite being just as intelligent, proud and fearless as any astartes.
