===Dreadnoughts===
[[File:Ancient Warclaw.jpg|thumb|right|[[Warclaw|Ancient Warclaw]], a [[Space Wolves]] [[Space Marine Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] of the [[Bran RedmawBloodmaws]]’s [[Great Company]].{{Fn|22}}]]Amongst the number of [[Space Marine Dreadnought|Dreadnoughts]]s in the Space Wolves chapter, some are extremely ancient, carrying warriors, such as [[Bjorn the Fell-Handed]], who walked beneath the same sky as the Emperor himself, and who stood beside [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]] in battle. There is also the savage [[Murderfang]]. These dreadnoughts are revered and so respected is their skill in battle that on rare occasions, a Dreadnought may be called upon to lead an army into battle. The troops following in his footsteps will chant his name, remembering the many sagas they have heard of his exploits. This is a fearsome scene to behold for any enemy.{{Cite This}} ===Vehicles===As well as the usual [[Space Marine Vehicles]] deployed by the Chapter, the Space Wolves keep a number of [[Leman Russ Exterminator]]s in their arsenal - in honour of [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]]. They use these in battle rarely but to devastating effect, the tanks' fearsome array of weaponry enhanced further by the skills of the marines inside.{{Cite This}} ===Fleet===The Space Wolves maintain an abnormally large fleet for Space Marine standards, consisting of:{{Fn|19}}*8 [[Battle Barge]]s*30+ [[Strike Cruiser]]s*20+ [[Hunter Class Destroyer]] Squadrons*20+ [[Gladius Class Frigate|Gladius]] and [[Nova Class Frigate|Nova]] Class [[Frigate]] Squadrons*2 [[Ramilies Class Star Fort]]s (''Goremenjarl'' and ''Mjalnar''){{Fn|30}}*[[Stormfang]], [[Stormwolf]], and [[Thunderhawk]] aircraft ==Equipment=={{main|Space Wolves Armoury}}Space Wolves Equipment is similar to that of [[Codex chapter]]s. In some ways it is more primitive – for instance, Iron Priests do not have access to a full [[Servo-harness]] or [[Thunderfire Cannon]]s.{{Cite This}} Similarly, some of the equipment associated with the Imperial cult such as the [[Chaplain]]'s [[Rosarius]] or the [[Apothecary]]'s [[Reductor]] have their own unique variants among the Space Wolves, such as the [[Wolf Amulet]] and the [[Fang of Morkai]].{{Fn|8x}}
==Recruitment==
Notably, [[Primaris Space Marines]] do not follow the same recruitment ritual as other Space Wolves. While they undertake the Test of Morkai, they do not drink from the Cup of Wulfen.{{Fn|45}}
