The Wolf Guard are the greatest warriors of any one of the Space Wolves Great Companies. It is their duty to lead packs into battle or provide a body guard to important members of the chapter on the battlefield, especially as the Wolf Lord. They are also often the leaders of squads, imparting their knowledge and experience on their younger charges.^1,2

Unlike other chapters, age is not the main route into the Wolf Guard. Progress is generally dependent on bravery and heroism.¹ To enable to perform their role properly the Wolf Guard have access to the best equipment that the Great Company has to offer, including suits of Terminator armour.¹
