Twelve Great Companies make up the Space Wolves Chapter, each formed around the powerful leadership of a Wolf Lord, the legendary captains of the Space Wolves. Foremost among the Wolf Lords is Logan Grimnar, the Great Wolf, High King of Fenris and Master of the Space Wolves Chapter. Those who serve in his Great Company are fanatically loyal to their charismatic and cunning leader, and ever strive through their deeds upon the battlefield to earn their liege’s favour and a place in his Wolf Guard. They are the Champions of Fenris.
How This Supplement WorksOn this page you will find additional special rules, Warlord Traits, Relics, a Detachment and Formations that reflect the composition and fighting style of the Champions of Fenris. You can add the Detachment and Formations from this section to an existing army, or use them to field an army from Grimnar’s Great Company itself.

Altar of War: Champions of Fenris Missions
It is very straightforward to use an Altar of War mission – these can be selected at The Mission step described in Preparing for Battle in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules. Like the missions presented there, Altar of War missions are ‘pick up and play’ missions – it is not necessary to know which of these missions you will be playing before selecting an army, only the agreed points value of the two armies. If you (or your opponent) have a Warlord with the Space Wolves Faction, you can select one of these missions just as you would any other, as explained in the Preparing for Battle section in Warhammer 40,000: The Rules.  1-2

The Deeds of HeroesLogan Grimnar is renowned and beloved across every segmentum of the Imperium. Worlds beyond counting owe their continued existence to the might of his Space Wolves, the Chapter’s history heavy with glorious deeds of populations saved from slaughter and vile foes sent fleeing back into the void. One of the reasons that those Grimnar has saved are so fanatical in their devotion to him is for his unwillingness to let a single citizen die if, through bold action, he can draw the enemy forces away from those who cannot defend themselves. Such are the deeds of heroes.
 Choose armies. The Champions of Fenris player’s Warlord must have the Space Wolves Faction. THE BATTLEFIELD Set up terrain using the deployment map included with this mission.

Leading from the FrontSuch is the war-torn nature of life in the 41st Millennium that it is a mighty conflict indeed for the Imperium to spare more than a few companies of any Space Marine Chapter to fight in a single warzone. On these occasions, however, competition is rife between the commanders of each company for the honour of leading the first wave into battle. Unsurprisingly, such an honour is fiercely contested between the glory-hungry Wolf Lords of the Space Wolves, but should Logan Grimnar claim the right to the first kill, none will dispute his worthiness or his authority to do so. So does the Great Wolf gather the Champions of Fenris once more and lead the way to victory.
 Choose armies. The Champions of Fenris player’s Warlord must have the Space Wolves Faction. THE BATTLEFIELD Set up terrain using the deployment map included with this mission.

Worthy of SagaFor the warriors of Fenris, there is no greater joy than engaging a worthy adversary in combat and striking him down with blade in hand, so that all may know their glory. The Sons of Russ hold true to many of their planet’s native traditions, and seeking out enemy champions to defeat in glorious battle is certainly one of them. The mightier the foe a hero slays, the more likely it is that his deeds will earn him a place in the sagas of the Chapter. Competition to claim such glory becomes all the fiercer as a Space Wolf grows in fame and skill. To witness the Champions of Fenris engage in such contests is to behold what legends are made of.

Echoes of War: Champions of Fenris MissionsHere you will find a selection of Echoes of War missions, which represent key historical battles inspired by the battles fought by the Champions of Fenris. The Armies section of each of these missions provides guidance on the forces present so that you can replay the pivotal events using the armies and characters described in this book. Many of the Echoes of War missions include a map that depicts the battlefield on which the conflicts were fought.If you wish to fight an Echoes of War mission, you and your opponent must agree which mission you wish to fight, ensuring that you have the appropriate armies and models you will need. Designer’s Note: Whilst the Echoes of War missions have been inspired by specific events, with a little imagination they can easily be repurposed to recreate battles of your own invention. If you choose to go down this route, you can modify these missions so that they can be fought using any combination of forces and terrain in your collection. №1

The Web of DeathDespite their superstitious misgivings about the arcane technology of teleportation, Logan Grimnar and a Wolf Guard spearhead have arrived on the surface of Gnosis Secundus in a bid to draw the Eldar forces attacking the planet away from what is left of its hapless inhabitants. However, Grimnar’s bold and selfless strategy has left his vanguard force woefully outnumbered.

Avenging WolvesGnosis Prime lies in ruins, and Gnosis Secundus fares little better. Such an affront to the Allfather’s realm and its people is not something that Logan Grimnar is prepared to forgive. Mounting up on his war chariot, Stormrider, the Great Wolf swears a solemn vow to see the Eldar destroyed once and for all in payment for their murderous actions. Tracking their scent to an ancient webway portal, Grimnar at last uncovers the source of the xenos’ strength on the planet.

Following his warrior instincts, Ulrik the Slayer meanwhile leads the Champions of Fenris under his command into a wyrdgate created by High Rune Priest Njal Stormcaller, in search of Trazyn the Infinite. Upon emerging from the portal, the Space Wolves encounter the Necron Overlord on the slopes of the underground mountain of Infernus Peak, on the verge of reclaiming his prize.

Storming the Star CryptLogan Grimnar has mustered all of his available forces to storm the mysterious Necron pyramid and the seat of Trazyn’s power on Midgardia. Inside the pyramid the Overlord is gathering the full force of his Necron host against the Fenrisians, ready to strike from the shadows of the tomb. Logan Grimnar’s experienced eye knows a difficult challenge when he sees one, but to this day, has never shirked from his duty – this is simply another battle to be fought and won, another enemy to be engaged and defeated. Calling together his brothers, the Great Wolf howls his defiance at the Necron host and sweeps his axe forwards to signal the charge.
