→Overview
Among the [[Space Wolves]], only the most senior and experienced Marines may be promoted to the ranks of the Long Fangs. The teachings of [[Russ]] hold that only warriors such as these can be entrusted with the chapter's long-ranged heavy weapons, each of which is a relic in and of itself, incredibly rare and sometimes irreplaceable.{{Fn|1a}} Likewise, only warriors who have served their time in the furious close-combat assaults of the [[Blood Claws]] and the more deliberate actions of the [[Grey Hunters]], are wise enough in the ways of battle to know exactly how to deploy this kind of firepower to assist their brothers.{{Fn|1a}}
By the time of his promotion to the Long Fangs, a Space Wolf has served and fought for centuries, and the [[Canis Helix]] - the unique component of the Wolves' [[geneseed]] - has taken completed its final changeseffects, and the Wolf's elongated canines have grown to their fullest length, strong enough to dent [[plasteel]].{{Fn|1a}}
