Clone Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 On page 24 of C:CSM there is an image of a Marine in dark grey armour and a red wolf chapter symbol. It details that the first sighting of this chapter/warband was the Fenris sector and that they are close combat specialists. Though I've never heard of it in the fluff, is this warband made up of Renegade Space Wolves? The clues all say that they are. Fenris is the Space Wolves Chapter Planet, Wolves in the name, Wolf as a chapter symbol, close combat specialists, and they even have some lighter grey armour plates just like Space Wolf armour.

Redbaron997 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Not to steal your thunder, but we had a big thread about this when the Chaos codex first came out http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...hl=Skyrar's Dark Wolves&st=0 Below was our most complete libraium style article we made about them. Skyrar's Dark Wolves Date:..............4145999.M41 Ref:................LBC//Scy By:.................Brother Scythe Re:.................Adeptus Renegades - Skyrar's Dark Wolves Thought:.........Forgivness is weakness in the eyes of the Emperor The Dark Wolves are a recently formed warband that now threatens the Fenris Sector. The chapter has aquired a feirce reputaion as close quarters fighters in the years since their first appearnce and now threaten anything from ships to smaller planets across the sector. Orgins of Skyrar's Dark Wolves Skyrar’s Dark Wolves are a recently organized renegade warband centered around the previous 8th Great Company before Sven Bloodhowl was elevated to the rank of Wolf Lord. The Great Company had been declared excommicates be the Ordo Hereticus in response to a inncendet whitch saw the Space Wolves 5th Great Company devastated. Though the 8th company pleaded innocence the Ordo would not back down, despite the protests of the Great Wolf Logan Grimnar, due to lack of factual evidence. The company , at the time around 250 marines, was pursed into the Maelstrom and not heard from sense. Recently the Renegades were discovered in the Fenris Sector accompanied by elements of the World Eaters Legion and the Renegade Warband, The Flawless Host. The Ordo Herecticus engaged with a Large IG contingent lead by the Order of our Martyred Lady. The battle, mainly occurring in space, was lost due to several boarding actions in which the Sisters and imperial Guard forces were poorly suited. During the engagement the Dark Wolves were discovered to be obedient to a previous unheard of lesser Chaos Power called Skyrar, of what we known the chaos power reveals itself as a goddess of hospitality, and seems to attract those looking for sanctuary from the Imperium and forging new bonds of brotherhood that they are unable to find elsewhere. While not near as powerful as the 4 Dark Powers, Skyrar is rising in influence as many pirates and excommunicated forces are fleeing from persecution to her protection. Organization The Warband in found to be exclusive to only renegades of the Space Wolves chapter. Of witch the warbands size is climbing alarmingly as previous traitors from that chapter are flocking to its banner, eager to reclaim the lost bonds of brotherhood only ones of Russes Gene seed can understand. Little else is known besides this, other than that the warbands within the Dark Wolves often retain the titles they held in the Space Wolves chapter such as Wolf Lord and Wolf Guard. Veterans of the Warbands commonly designate themselves by ritually scarring themselves across their left eye, a mark they also make on their helmets. Homeworld The Dark Wolves function from their Battle Barge the Wolf’s Vengence, they refuse to call anywhere home but Fenris, and seek to reclaim it as their own. Combat Doctrine The Warbands seem to retain their previous tactics they used before their fall, though they now act less like a well organized wolf pack and more like starved, desperate, ravaged wolfs backed into a corner. They prefer Close Combat but not to the extent that they will sacrifice heavy weapons and vehicles. Geneseed The Geneseed of the Dark Wolves is exclusively from the Space Wolves Stock. Renegade marines from other chapters are not accepted. It is not unheard of for the Dark Wolves to attack other chaos chapters who venture to close to Fenrissian space, showing that there is still deep bonds within the geneseed of the traitors. Beliefs The Dark Wolves view the Imperium as corrupted and the Space Wolves as Oathbreakers. They view chaos as a force that can be beneficial is used correctly, a such they will make deals and packs with daemons but will never sell their souls to them as they belong only to Skyrar. The Dark Wolves seek to free the Imperium from their corrupt High Lords, starting with Fenris. Battlecry "By my fang and claw! The Goddess will arise!" Most often heard accopanied by series of howls from the marines themselves Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180031-skyrars-dark-wolves/#findComment-2132328 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irongore Darkwolf Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yeah cool stuff, I've been doing my darkwolves for about a month now when I get the chance I'll post some of my converions and painted mini's.
