Red Wolves

The Red Wolves are a Loyalist Chapter of Space Marines of unknown origin and Founding. Very little is known about the Chapter in Imperial records. The Red Wolves are known to claim the planet of Bloodfall as their Chapter homeworld.

Notable Campaigns

 * Battle for the Cruiser Shadeblight (750.M41) - In 750.M41 the Red Wolves denied a warband of the Night Lords Traitor Legion the prize of the daemon-possessed Cruiser Shadeblight in the Ango Sub-sector. The Red Wolves stood alone against the Chaos Space Marines, and alone they stopped the menace the Night Lords presented to the sub-sector.
 * Fourth Quadrant Rebellion, Sulsalid Campaign (775-777.M41) - A full quarter of the Segmentum Solar and its outlaying systems were engulfed by a series of wars, revolts and secessionist outbreaks which set that part of the galaxy ablaze with civil strive that became known as the Fourth Quadrant Rebellion. With the civil conflicts affecting most of the systems, Renegade and xenos forces took advantage of the widespread anarchy. More than a dozen Space Marine Chapters were caught up in the fighting, either aiding one faction or another or simply defending their own territories whilst others were brought in by the Imperium to pacify the quadrant and finally put an end to the fighting. Four Astartes Chapters -- the Red Wolves, Dark Angels, the Raptors and the Skull Bearers -- were instrumental in playing an important role in bringing the rebellion within the Sulsalid Sub-sector to an end.

Chapter Combat Doctrine
The Red Wolves Chapter's combat doctrine favours heavy mechanised assaults. Their current Chapter strength is 10 full companies.

Chapter Homeworld
The Red Wolves hail from the Death World known as Bloodfall in the Segmentum Solar. Bloodfall is a planet with a high concentration of iron in the soil and rocks, producing its characteristic crimson colour from orbit, and it possesses one of the harshest of planetary environments ever settled by humans, being constantly scoured by scarlet sandstorms that can strip the flesh from the bones of an adult human male in only minutes. The conditions are so extreme that humans cannot survive outside of the world's Hive City complexes without being protected with some kind of armoured vehicle.

Chapter Colours
The Red Wolves' Power Armour is painted red with black shoulder plates and red trim. The Aquila is gold.

Chapter Badge
The Red Wolves Chapter badge is a red wolf's head on a black background.
