History

They were thought to have been destroyed while fighting alongside the Black Templars, during a Tyranid invasion on their Homeworld, Varadon in 987.M41^[1a]. However a strike force of the Shadow Wolves later came to the aid of Cadia, during the Thirteenth Black Crusade and joined the Imperial forces' efforts to retake the Chaos held Kasr Belloc^[2]. It is not known, though, how many of the Shadow Wolves were able to escape Cadia's destruction, at the Despoiler's hands.^[3]

Trivia

The Black Library author, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, wrote the Shadow Wolves as a reference to loyalist Luna Wolves, as a gift to his wife who was a fan of the Luna Wolves.^[4]
