The [[Space Wolves]] '''Grey Hunter forms Hunters''' form the basis of the [[chapter]]s armed forces. They operate in roughly in the same manor as a normal [[Space Marines|Space Marine]] [[Tactical Squad]]. However, the similarities are few. Grey Hunter squads are made up of those marines that formed a [[Blood Claw]] pack, and have survived the packs time as blood clawsthis dangerous period of their lives.
Grey Hunters use the [[Bolter]]s pistol grip, allowing them to use it like a [[Bolt Pistol]] in close combat. Whilst this goes against other chapters training, and some might say, common sense, It it seems to work for the grey huntersGrey Hunters. The use of the pistol grip, and [[close combat weapons weapon]]s from their blood claw Blood Claw days, allows the grey hunters Grey Hunters to deal out more punishment in close combat then their brother-marines in other chapters. The ability to deal this extra damage, encourages the grey hunters Grey Hunters to charge to the enemy, rather than stay back and shoot. Their enthusiasm for being toe to toe with the enemy is tempered by their experience experiences of war, and they will stand and shoot if the situation dictates that it is the best policy.
A grey hunter Grey Hunter pack will also have has access to other weapons. [[Meltagun]]s, [[Flamer]]s and [[Plasma Gun]]s are used reguarly, as in a standard tactical squadTactical Squad. However, the pack also may have access to [[Power Weapon]]s or even, a [[Power Fist]]. These close combat weapons, making make the marines already impressive combat skills, all the more deadly.
It is usually from grey hunter Grey Hunter packs, that a brave, skilled warrior will be choosen to join the [[Wolf Guard]]. For this to happen, is a great honour to both the individual marine, and his pack. The pack may well compose a saga to comemorate the warriors deeds, and relate them to future battle-brothers. These sagas both impart battle knowlage to younger marines, and inspire their courage and bravery, causing them to try to out do their predicesorpredecesor.
After serving as a grey hunter Grey Hunter for a time, the pack will be formed into the heavy weapon team, known as the [[Long Fangs]].
