Changes

The [[Codex Astartes]] was a code developed by the Primarch of the [[Ultramarines]], [[Roboute Guilliman]]. This tome would contain everything a member of the Astartes would need to know to function. From recruitment to organization to tactics and beyond, the Codex Astartes became a sacred text to the majority of the Chapters.{{Fn|17}} The Space Wolves Legion never fully accepted the new doctrine. Rather they hold sacred the teachings of their Primarch. One of the most significant changes within the new Codex was the newly founded Chapters. Where the Legions could number more than 10,000 strong the Chapters would be limited to about a thousand. Each original Legion would be divided as many times as needed into '''Successor Chapters'''. This division would come to be called the Second Founding. The remaining thousand bodies in the original Legion would survive as a new Chapter of the same name, while their newly created Chapters would claim their founders origins and be known as their '''Founding Chapter'''. Beyond this however the chapters would operate independently, and come to develop their own namesake, culture, and customs.{{Fn|14k}}

Some time after the Horus Heresy, the Space Wolves' geneseed suffered some sort of mutation that means it only works on humans native to Fenris. This was the primary reason why the Space Wolves had no successor chapters for a time. Their first and only successor chapter, the [[Wolf Brothers]], suffered unmanageable genetic degradation and was disbanded by the Inquisition.

Some of these new [[Ultima Founding|Ultima]] [[Successor Chapter|Chapters]] have their origins amongst the [[Space Wolves]] [[Greyshields]], who fought in [[Lord Commander]] [[Guilliman]]'s [[Indomitus Crusade Fleet Primus]]. Though they served beside many differing [[Primarch|genetic lineages]], the Space Wolves Greyshields quickly gravitated towards each other and formed hunting packs. They instinctively trusted their fellow Space Wolves as brothers and those Greyshields who shared a similar disposition found further common ground. These groupings of similar Greyshields, would later form the nucleus of new Space Wolves Successor Chapters. Thus many of the Fleet's [[psychically]] inclined Greyshields formed the esoteric [[Icefangs]], while the grim-faced huntsmen Greyshields, who preyed from the shadows, formed the [[Wolfspear]] Chapter.{{Fn|61}}

One of the 12 Great Companies is that of the [[Great Wolf]], the Space Wolves' [[Chapter Master]]. When the former Great Wolf dies the new chieftain is selected from the other eleven remaining Wolf Lords. Upon selection the new Great Wolf, not his Great Company, immediately takes on the ancient badge of [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]] — the Wolf That Stalks Between Stars. With the new role the Great Wolf's Company is also expanded to include the household of the Chapter's Priesthood, [[Wolf Scout]]s, and [[Dreadnought]]s.{{Fn|8e}}
