The_Betrayed_Spacewolf Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 it varies from great company to great company. some may have as low as 30-70 others may have 100-260 it all depends on how well the wolf lord leads his company.

Castlerook Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Theres approximately 1440 Marines in the Chapter. So spread out over 12 Great Companies, thats 120 warriors a company. Now the numbers and type of warriors would be different according to the battle experiences the Great Company would have had, some may have more Long Fangs then other companies, some might have a higher proportion of Blood Claws. All Great Companies operate as independent units under the command of the Great Wolf, each Company would be expected to maintain its supplies and vehicles, recruit new mariens as needed etc. Source - http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Space_Wolves Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164210-what-is-a-great-company/page/2/#findComment-1933751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Theres approximately 1440 Marines in the Chapter. Source - http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Space_Wolves I wouldn't use that website as a source, as they just pulled that number right out of their rectums. If you read down on that same link in the Organization section, they even say that the size of Great Companies are speculated to be between 150-1,000 Marines; which doesn't do anyone any good.

Valerian Actually theres alot of fluff reading and math that went into that number. We have an article that explains it in the librarium. As for the part on Great Companies this very thread should show you that 150-1000 is the only thing that most people will agree on. Everyone has an idea, and alot of us even have good reasons for it. But as a static website they have to try to be impartial and so... ding ding 150-1k. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...showarticle=291 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164210-what-is-a-great-company/page/2/#findComment-1933760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
