They operate as [[Scout]]s do in a [[Codex chapter]], working behind the enemy lines to disrupt communications and assassinate enemy leaders. They also track down and spy on enemy forces as well as coordinating and participating in surprise attacks.{{Fn|1a}} Some Wolf Scouts have been known to operate behind enemy lines for years at a time.{{Fn|3}}
===Types===
*'''[[Space Marine Sergeant|Pack Leader]]''' - Squad leaders{{Fn|7}}
*'''Fangbearer''' - Inspiring figures who are seen to stand at the boundaries of life and death. Commonly ating acting as medics, they are of a brotherhood that includes the [[Wolf Priest]]s, and carry a multibladed technological artifact artefact dubbed the [[Fang of [[Morkai]] which is used to ritualistically remove the [[Gene-Seed]] from fallen Battle-Brothers, making them similar to [[Helix Adept]]s seen in [[Codex Chapter]]s. Besides their support roles, they also fight with [[Absolvor Bolt Pistol]]s and Combat Blades.{{Fn|8a}}
*'''Frosteye''' - Specialist marksmen who carry [[Instigator Bolt Carbine]]s and Combat Blades.{{Fn|8a}}
*'''Gunner''' - Weapons specialists who wield weapons such as [[Plasma Gun]]s.{{Fn|8a}}{{Fn|8b}}
Wolf Scout teams are also known to go into battle with the support of [[Rune Priest Skjald]]s and [[Fenrisian Wolf|Fenrisian Wolves]].{{Fn|7}}
== Wargear ==
Scouts are equipped with [[Scout armour]] or more recently, lighter and stealthier [[Mk.X Phobos Armour]].{{Fn|8a}} Their standard weapons include [[Bolt pistol]]s and enormous [[Combat Knife|Combat Knives]]. Since they are expected to have to engage a wide variety of targets, they may also be issued with rare and priceless [[plasma pistol]]s, [[Instigator Bolt Carbine]]s{{Fn|8a}}, and [[power weapon]]s, as well as [[frag grenade|frag]] and [[krak grenade]]s or [[melta bomb]]s.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
