'''Grey Stalkers''' were a type of infantry employed by the [[Space Wolves]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
Counterparts to the [[Grey Slayer]]s, the Grey Stalkers served to complement their raw and savage fury with more focused rage and varied equipment. Their role in battle was akin to that of traditional [[Tactical Squad]]s, but molded by [[Leman Russ]] into something new and distinct. In battle, they followed in the wake of Grey Slayers to harry foes too well entrenched for a frontal assault and securing objectives cleared by the initial onslaught.{{Fn|1}}
The Grey Stalkers were often composed of disproportionately high amounts of [[Terra]]n recruits, for they behaved in the manner similar to the Legion before the coming of Russ. Its members saw themselves less tied to the rites and culture of [[Fenris]], but many Fenrisian Marines viewed them as lacking in zeal.{{Fn|1}}
Grey Stalkers were normally equipped with [[Bolt Pistol]]s and [[Chainsword]]s, but could be equipped with a wide array of Astartes weaponry such as [[Bolter]]s, [[Flamer]]s, [[Volkite Charger]]s, [[Plasma Gun]]s, [[Melta Gun]]s, [[Rotor Cannon]]s, [[Power Weapon]]s, etc.{{Fn|1}}
