The [[Space Wolves]] '''Grey Hunters''' form the basis of the [[Chapter]]'s armed forces, making up the rank and file. They operate in In this, they fulfill roughly the same manor role as a normal [[Space Marine]] [[Tactical Squad]]. However, that is about where the similarities are fewend. Grey Hunter squads are made up of those marines Space Marines that formed a [[Blood Claw]] pack and have survived this dangerous period of their lives.
Grey Hunters use the wield their [[Bolterbolter]]s pistol gripin one hand, allowing them to use it like a [[Bolt Pistolbolt pistol]] in , freeing their other hand up to use a close -combatweapon. Whilst While this goes against other chapters Chapters' trainingand, and some might say, common sense, it seems to work for the Grey Hunters. The use of the pistol grip and [[Close Combat Weapon]]s from their Blood Claw days allows the Grey Hunters to deal out more punishment damage in close combat then than their brother-marines in other chaptersChapters. The ability to deal this extra damage encourages the Grey Hunters to charge to the enemy, rather than stay back and shoot. Their enthusiasm for being toe -to -toe with the enemy is tempered by their experiences of in war: while they prefer to close-quarters combat, and they will stand and shoot hold a gun-line if it proves the most practical solution to the situation dictates that it is the best policyat hand.
A While the boltgun is a Grey Hunter's standard ranged weapon, a Grey Hunter pack also has access to regularly uses other weapons. such as the [[Meltagunmeltagun]]s, [[Flamerflamer]]s and [[Plasma Gunplasma gun]]s are used reguarly, as is common in a the standard Tactical Squad. However, the pack also may have access to [[Power Weapon]]s or even a [[Power Fist]]. These close combat special weapons make the marines Grey Hunters' already -impressive combat skills all the more deadly.
It is usually from Grey Hunter packs that a brave, skilled warrior will be chosen to join the [[Wolf Guard]]. For this to happen is a great honour to both the individual marine and his pack. The pack may well compose a saga to commemorate the warriors deeds and relate them to future battle-brothers. These sagas both impart battle knowlage knowledge to younger marines, and inspire their courage and bravery, causing them to try to out do their predecessor.
After serving as a Grey Hunter for a time, the pack will be formed into the heavy weapon team, known as the [[Long Fangs]].
