{{main|Battle Leader}}
It is not only as bodyguards that Wolf Guard excel, but also as mentors for younger members of the Chapter due to their battle experience and raw talent. As such, Wolf Guard who are especially charismatic but also domineering are assigned to lead packs of [[Battle-Brother]]s, guiding them in the finer arts of war. The most heroic Wolf Guard, typically those judged by their Wolf Lord as born to command, are sometimes assigned control of an entire strike force as a '''Wolf Guard Battle Leader'''. Should a Battle Leader prove himself capable of excelling above and beyond expectations, he may find himself next in line as Wolf Lord. Many of these Battle Leaders are now also [[Primaris Marines]].{{Fn|3a}}{{Fn|13}}
