The [[Space Wolves]] '''Blood Claw''' packs often fulfil fulfill the role of [[Assault Squad]]s that other [[chapter]]s use, residing the the vanguard of an attack. They charge at A young Blood Claw is so eager for glory and renown that he will take unnecessary risks on the enemybattlefield, usually so headstrongcharging the largest or most powerful foe he can find without thinking of the consequences, and even if he has no actual ability to incapacitate that enemy. If they would happily charge manage to slay such a [[Dreadnought]]foe, whilst not having anything that can even damage itthen surely the Chapter elders will take note of them. This accounts for their high casualty rate.
The Blood Claw packs are often larger than standard [[Space Marine]] squads, and are often made consisting of three claws each claw is about between five strong and the pack up to 15 members strongfifteen Blood Claws. Casualties take their toll, and their numbers reduce quicklya Blood Claw pack rapidly dwindles in size until only a few remain. This method of selection causes those who were too weeds out the weak, slow, unwise or just plain unlucky, not to become [[Grey Hunter]]s. Also This is the intentional on the Chapter's part: ordinarily, a Marine would undergo training in the Fortress Monastery, facing training received fighting real enemies is considered far superior servitors and sparring partners in a training cage. The Space Wolves frown on this practice, preferring to train their new recruits on the enemy, who do not fight at all like mindless, automated servitors. By the time the Blood Claw pack has sustained substantial casualties, only the most cunning and skilled remain, and these individuals are judged worthy to rise to that the higher ranks of training dummies and sparing partners by the Space Wolves.
A Blood Claws receive Claw pack is usually led into battle by a year long basic training that trains them in member of the Wolf Guard, who watches over and curbs the worst of the use pack's excesses and skill they instills discipline where necessary, either through harsh, barked words or punches to the face. However, many a time, the Wolf Guard will need hold his censure until after the battle is fought: he knows well that, for weapons how unruly the Blood Claw may be, its ferocity and combatsavagery can turn the tide of battle in the Chapter's favor. Even inexperienced,the genetic enhancements make a Blood Claw 's genetically- and cybernetically-enhanced physiology is usually more than a match for most enemies even though on the battlefield. Blood Claws receive a blood claw is inexperiencedyear-long basic training that augments their already-formidable battlefield prowess accumulated from years in the Fenrisian wild, teaching them how to use their new weapons and physical potential to devastating effect. The Most Blood Claws are armed with [[Chainswordchainsword]]s and [[Bolt Pistolbolt pistol]]s normally, and armoured in [[Power Armour]]. The most rambunctious of the Blood Claws also form the chapters Chapter's Jump Pack troops and [[Bike Squadron]]s. They may also be used to pilot [[Land Speeder Squadron]]s. Only Blood Claws use jump packs in the Space Wolves army, they are too 'short in the fang' to know any better.
