Space Marines Portal Space Wolves

A wolf Scout

Wolf Scouts are Space Wolves of an equivalent level to Space Marine Scouts.¹

They operate as Scouts do in a codex chapter, working behind the enemy lines to disrupt communications and assassinate enemy leaders. They also track down and spy on enemy forces as well as coordinating and participating in surprise attacks. Some Wolf Scouts have been known to operate behind enemy lines for years at a time.²

Unlike other Space Marine Scouts, a Wolf Scout is already an indoctrinated member of the Chapter. He has left his pack, either due to that packs destruction, or due to being solitary by nature, and serves as a reconnaissance specialist. Rather then serve in a conventional pack he is placed under the command of a Wolf Priest who will appoint a Sergeant to train him in the skills he will need to operate effectively in his new role. They are then led by these Sergeants in battle. All of the scouts live together in a great hall in the Fang. Space Wolf Scouts are not assigned to any of the Great Companies. They instead answer directly to the Great Wolf and are under his sole command unless assigned to a Wolf Lord and his company on an as needed basis .²
