Watch Pack

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

Watch Packs were squadrons within the Space Wolves Legion, that were sent to watch over the Primarchs for treachery during the Horus Heresy.[1]

This plan was conceived by the Space Wolves Primarch, Leman Russ and Malcador the Sigilite after the Battle of Prospero. The Legion's officers who led the Watch Packs, were charged with giving the order to execute their targets, should the Primarchs ever turn upon the Imperium. Because of this, the Watch Packs acted in secret and their complete rosters, are sealed within the Imperial Palace's restricted archive-vaults. However neither Russ or Malcador were aware the beginning phases of the Horus Heresy were already underway by then. As a result, few were able to reach their targets and, as the Battle for Terra proved, those sent after the Traitor Primarchs were unable to kill them.[1]
