'''Battle Leader''' is a specialized rank used by the [[Space Wolves]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==Essentially the Space Wolves equivalent of a [[Space Marine Lieutenant]], two Battle Leaders exist in each [[Great Company]] of the Space Wolves and act as battlefield commanders whose authority is surpassed only by their Wolf Lord and the [[Great Wolf]] himself. These gifted warriors are chosen by their presiding [[Wolf Lord]], usually from the ranks of the [[Wolf Guard]]. Often, the two BattleLeaders in a Great Company will have complementarynatures – a fiery, passionate warrior may be teamed with acool, calculating tactician. {{Fn|1}} Upon gaining this honour, someWolf Guard Battle Leaders adopt new equipment bettersuited to their position as the alpha of several packs. Someeven take a [[Thunderwolf]] as a mount, particularly those inthe [[Harald Deathwolf|Deathwolves]]. In recent times Battle Leaders have alsobeen drawn from packs of [[Primaris Space Marines]].{{Fn|1}}
