The Long Fangs take the role usually performed by Devastator Squads within the Space Wolves Chapter.
They consist of the older members of a pack, wise in their years, and long in the fang (hence the name, long fangs). It is left to them normally to discern where their heavy weapons fire is most needed, and the squad can split it's fire power between two targets. This allows the player to use one squad to similatiously knock out tanks, and provide covering fire for his other troops. One squad takes up a heavy support choice, and consists of 2 to 4 long fangs and a pack leader.
Long Fangs pack markings on the right shoulder pad, are in black and white.
The Predator Annhilator is an invention of the Long Fangs. Engaged in a war with Chaos Space Marines, they were unable to get their lascannons into range of the enemy tanks, due to the hail of fire the enemy was able to lay down. To counter this, the Long Fangs and Iron Priests ripped the Autocannons out of their Predator tanks, and replaced them with the Long Fang's Lascannons. The protection afforded to them by the tanks armoured hull, enabled the Long Fangs to get within range of the enemy tanks, and destroy them. The Adeptus Mechanicus was dismayed that their precious STC tanks had been modified, but soon other chapters started following suit, replacing some of their Predator Destructors, weapons with lascannon. So was born, the Annihilator, it continues to serve as the main space marine anti-vehicle tank.
