The '''Champions of Fenris''' is one of the twelve active [[Great Company|Great Companies]] of the [[Space Wolves]], falling under the direct control of [[Great Wolf]] [[Logan Grimnar]] himself.{{Fn|1}} It is the largest of the Great Companies.{{Fn|8}}
==Overview==
Before Logan Grimnar's ascension as [[Great Wolf]], the Champions of Fenris were known as the '''Night Runners''', which represented the relentless nature of wolf packs and its refusal to admit defeat until a prey has been dragged down. Whole most of the Company now bear the traditional sigil of the Great Wolf, some elder veterans opt to still display the symbol of the Night Runner.{{Fn|1210}}
Today, the Champions of Fenris are fanatically loyal to their leader, [[Logan Grimnar]]. Each warrior is extremely proud of his link to the supreme lord of the [[Chapter]], and constantly vies with his peers for their masters favour. Logan Grimnar firmly believes that a battle can be carried by a few heroes in the right place at the right time, and as such makes effective use of the many [[Wolf Guard]]{{Fn|1}} and [[Venerable Dreadnought]]s{{Fn|8}} in his Great Company. It also maintains a large complement of [[Wolf Priests]], [[Rune Priest]]s, and [[Iron Priest]]s that are loaned to other Great Companies when needed.{{Fn|8}}
