1/5

Wolf Guard Ranulf the Strong: Homebrew rules

Ranulf is fabled to be the largest warrior that the Space Wolves have ever had. He is

said to rival Leman Russ in his height and strength of arm. His massive Terminator

armor now stands in the Hall of Heroes looming like a beast over all that look upon it.

The Saga of Ranulfs death is told at great length and greatly revered by Space Wolves

of any status. The Space Wolves were retreating through a narrow mountain pass,

following a rare defeat by a Warhost of Orks. Ranulf and a handful of Wolf Guard stayed

behind to face the Orks and facilitate the escape of the rest of the Space Wolves forces.

They made a gallant stand against the whole of the Ork host, Ranulf chose his ground

wisely. This part of the pass was so narrow that the Orks could bring no more than a

dozen warriors into combat at any one time against the Wolf Guard. The battle raged for

many hours, the bodies of the Orks were piled as high as a wall. One by one the Wolf

Guard fell, until only Ranulf was left standing alone. Though the Orks brought down t he

mighty Ranulf in the end, they could not bring themselves to desecrate his body.

When the Space Wolves finally retook the pass they found Ranulf and his dead

companions seated in a hastily constructed shrine surrounded by an immense pile of

Ork wargear. To the Space Wolves Ranulf was a great champion, but to his foes he

became nothing less than a god.

Wolf Guard Durfast of Mordak: Homebrew rules


3/5

Mordak is now a dead world; eons ago it supported an advanced civilization. When it

was discovered by the explorers of the Adeptus Terra, the Techno -magi quickly

recognized the importance of the technology found on Mordak. The Space Wolves of

Hurgarl Stormbrows Great Company had been assigned to protect the world. Mordaklay deep within Ork-dominated space and it was not long before a large force of Orks

arrived. A desperate war against time began in which the Space Wolves held the

scattered excavation sites from the ever expanding force of Orks.

It was during this fighting that Durfast was to earn his place in the Sagas. Durfast lead

the remnants of Hurgarls Great Company into the catacombs of Betan to kill the Ork

Warboss. It was savage close quarter fighting in almost total darkness. Many Space

Wolves died, but in the end the Warboss was killed. Leaderless the Orks were finally

driven off. Thanks to Durfast the surviving Space Wolves made it back to the surface,

evacuated the complex before destroying it with its own self-destruct systems.One of the artifacts recovered on Mordak still resides within the Fang; the Iron Priests

placed the artifact in a Space Wolf helmet. It has become known as the Helm of Durfast,

the artifact utilizes temporal technology to en dow the wearer with an uncanny

awareness of the immediate past, present and future. This enables the bearer to

anticipate the actions of his opponents.

Wolf Lord Kyrl Grimblood Savior of Fenris: Homebrew rules

Kyrl Grimblood became a Wolf Lord during the age of Apostacy. Du ring this time many

false prophets came to power, but none as powerful as the Apostate Cardinal Bucharis.His rampage into the heart of the Imperium was halted on Fenris. For three years the

forces of Bucharis lay siege to the Fang. The Space Wolves could do nothing to break

the siege. Although they tried many time to breach the attackes lines. Eventually it was

Kyrl Grimblood who saved the Fang.

Grimbloods Great Company had departed the Fang five years earlier, on a mission into

the Eye of Terror. Now he returned as the besieging forces of Bucharis mustered for the

final attack. Grimbloods Great Company smashed into the flanks and rear of the enemy

army, scattering tens of thousands into the forests of Asaheim. To finally seal their fate,

the besieged Space Wolves broke out, and the battle was won. Of those that escaped

the Space Wolves none would survive the wolves of Asaheim.

Grimblood had saved the day and possibly Earth itself. It was not the end of Bucharis,

whose armies were as numerous as the stars in the sky, but it was a setback. Otherheroes would defeat the Apostacy on other battlefields, yet the victory of Kyrl Grimblood

would herald the rebirth of a unified and powerful Imperium.
