Gunnar Red Moon

The Space Wolf codecs paraphrasing and copying from pg 17  - “Gunnar Redmoon is a roaring flapping their of a man he favors his campaigns more than most, for he reasons that veterans make the best company in the feast hall as well as upon the battlefield. A great teller of tall stories, Gunnar took the red moon as his symbol after the invasion of Bal’yth’s Orb. Where he claims to have killed so many Eldar that their bloodstained the planet Crimson.”  Gunnar Redmoon’s Great Company is a popular Space Wolf Army to play in the Warhammer 40K board game; because of Gunner’s reliance on long fangs and Wolf Guard armies bearing his insignia are very competitive.

According to historical fluff originating from South New Jersey’s Warhammer 40k gaming stores. Most notably “The comic book store, inGlassboro ” and “Outside the box games, in Voorhees”. The following are descriptions of noteworthy units, characters, and background stories of members in Gunnar Redmoon’s Great Company.

Gunnar Redmoon is a bear of a man taller than most space wolves, he wields Olaf’s mighty two-handed hammer with just his right hand and the in his left holds “Ran’s Leer” a storm shield with a Ferisian Wolf head mounted to it once held by Ran the Great Wolf. Gunnar wears the runic armor Valborg, armor  that has been passed down from Wolf Lord to successor since the chapter was cut from the space wolf legion. Gunnar is mighty opponent in close combat and follows the saga of the bear! (Nord’s meaning (Ran – Rim, shield + wolf),(Valborg - protector on the battlefield))

Olaf the Rune Smit, Venerable dreadnought; Olaf was both an iron priest and rune priest crafting some of the most powerful runic weapons and armor used by the chapter to this day. It was Olaf learned who relearned how to imbue weapons with the mystical powers of runes an art once thought lost to the chapter forever. Olaf also bond Bjorn to dreadnought which he slumbers in, awaiting his destiny. However, Olaf greatest work was not done on the battlefield or on the forge. Olaf is best-known for his work as a brewmaster; for the mead, ale and spirits he crafted rival even Leman Russ’s. His recipes are among the chapters most closely guarded secrets. (Nord’s meaning (Olaf – Ancestor))

Vindicator “Wolf tank” - The wolf spirit of Freki is said to have been bound to the tanks machines spirit 10 millennia ago, after Freki demise at the hands of Magnus the red. Wolf tank is one of the space wolves’ oldest and most powerful vindicators in the space Wolf chapter. After countless battles and repairs Wolf tanks hull is composed of Ferisian Wolf pelts bound to thick armor plating, and it’s front armor now resembles that of a Wolfs head. However, the passage of time has only seems to enhance Wolf tanks ferocity on the battlefield and its bellowing howl from it main cannon is known across the galaxy. Wolf tank is currently in service under Gunnar Redmoon’s Great Company because of the experience of his veteran tank crews consisting of only wolf guard.

Einar is Wolf guard battle leader and gunners second in command. Einar carries a dark Angel artifact weapon a “flail of the un-forgiven” which he own in a dual with a deathwing knight during a Wolf and Loin contest. At the time Einar was a Lone Wolf and after his victory he was promoted to a Wolf Guard. Additionally, Einar rides a top Garm the three headed thunder wolf, Garm is so powerful Einar has him carry half an armories worth or weapons and ammo in to battle. (Nord’s meaning (Garm – four eyed canine guardian of the underworld), (Einar - Lone warrior; battle leader))

Gunnar Redmoon’s Great Company Feriesan Wolves are named Hati and Skoll. Hati and Skoll only fight beside the most dedicated and powerful warriors in Gunnar’s Company’s. Hati and Skoll tend to follow the companies lone wolves into battle on the eve of their ascension to Wolf guard or heroic demise. (Nord’s meaning (Hati and Skoll) brothers wolves who chase the moon (Hati) and sun (Skoll) an will swallow them come Ragnarok.)

Gunnar’s great company contains approximately 125 - 150 Astarda. Among them are 40 Wolf guard, 25 pieces of Terminator armor and half a dozen thunder Wolf’s. Underneath the Wolf guard are three long fangs packs and Seven Grey Hunter Packs. Gunnar also deploys Rune priest’s in almost every battle mission in order to record his and his companies legend. Gunnar is required by Logan Grimnar to overlook single Blood Claw Pack, so to avoid head aces Gunnar places them under direct supervision of his companies Wolf Priest Vidkun. (Nord’s Meaning (Vidkun  - Experienced)). Additionally, Gunnar has access to land raiders, land raider crusaders and land raider redeemers as well as an abundance of rhinos and Razorbacks.
