'''Watch Packs''' were squadrons within the [[Space Wolves]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]], that were sent to watch over the [[Primarch]]s for treachery during the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
This plan was conceived by the [[Space Wolves]] [[Primarch]], [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]] and [[Malcador the Sigilite]] after the [[Battle of Prospero]]. The [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]'s officers who led the Watch Packs, were charged with giving the order to execute their targets, should the Primarchs ever turn upon the [[Imperium]]. Because of this, the Watch Packs acted in secret and their complete rosters, are sealed within the [[Imperial Palace]]'s restricted archive-vaults. However , neither Russ or Malcador were aware the beginning phases of the [[Horus Heresy]] were already underway by then. As a result, few were able to reach their targets and, as the [[Battle for Terra]] proved, those sent after the [[Traitor Legions|Traitor Primarch]]s were unable to kill them.{{Fn|1}}
