Legiones Astartes – The Wolf-kin of Russ
- The Wolf-kin of Russ 100 pts
Said to be companions of the Wolf King from his earliest days as a foundling upon the bleak desolation of Fenris, these two creatures are beasts of prodigious size, formidable intelligence, and a physical power that beggars belief in purely ‘natural’ creatures of their type. The guardians of the Wolf King’s hearth, from time to time, when he calls, they follow alongside him into battle as they may, and to the Space Wolves Legion, they have come to symbolise, not only their own bestial natures, but their spiritual connection to cold Fenris itself. Both have long-served their bellicose master on countless battlefields as friends and protectors, loyal bodyguards, and keen-sensed watchers, and have proven themselves more than capable of ripping the most inhumanly powerful foes limb from limb alongside the Legion of which their master is overlord.

Wolf-kin of Russ
In battle Leman Russ would sometimes be accompanied by a pair of immense wolves. Legend claims that these were kin to the Primarch, bound to him in the days when he wandered the bleak wastes of Fenris unburdened by the yoke of civilisation.
The Wolf-kin of Russ may only be taken in a Detachment if Leman Russ is in the same Detachment. If they are chosen as part of a Detachment, they are treated as a HQ choice so far as any special rule, objective or mission is concerned, but do not take up slots on the Force Organisation chart. This unit cannot be joined by any other model, except Leman Russ.Some weapons are capable of breaching armour with a terrifying ease, whether by specially designed munitions, careful targeting or sheer brute power.
When rolling To Wound for a model that has the Breaching (X) special rule, or is attacking with a weapon that has the Breaching (X) special rule, for each To Wound roll equal to or higher than the value listed in brackets, the controlling player must resolve these wounds at AP 2 instead of the weapon’s normal AP value. This rule has no effect on models that do not have Wounds, such as models with the Vehicle Unit Type.For example, a model with the Breaching (5+) special rule that rolls To Wound and rolls a result of ‘5’ or higher, the Wound inflicted gains an AP of ‘2’ regardless of the AP value listed on the weapon’s profile. Note that a weapon that has both the Breaching (X) and the Gets Hot special rules always uses the base AP of the weapon when rolls of ‘1’ To Hit inflict Wounds on the attacking model.

The Wolf-kin of Russ may only be taken in a Detachment if Leman Russ is in the same Detachment. If they are chosen as part of a Detachment, they are treated as a HQ choice so far as any special rule, objective or mission is concerned, but do not take up slots on the Force Organisation chart. This unit cannot be joined by any other model, except Leman Russ.Fearless troops never give up and seldom make full use of cover – even if it would be wiser to do so.
Units with one or more models with the Fearless special rule automatically pass Pinning tests, Regroup tests and Morale checks. In addition, models with the Fearless special rule ignore the effects of the Fear special rule.However, units containing one or more models with the Fearless special rule cannot use any Reactions that grant a Cover Save, Armour Save or Invulnerable Save, and cannot choose to fail a Morale check due to the Our Weapons Are Useless special rule. If a unit has become Pinned and then gains the Fearless special rule, all the effects of being Pinned are immediately cancelled.
