Editing Blood Claw (section)

==Overview==
The Wolves believe that real (and thus manly) combat is the best form of training, and encourage Blood Claws to take their place at the vanguard and learn the skills of battle firsthand. The Blood Claws are enthusiastic pups of the wolfy wolves and, like any overenthusiastic puppy, they charge with berserker ferocity and a reckless belief in their own invulnerability. Such a berserker charge can turn the tide of a battle, but it also leads Blood Claws to take risks that are suicidal even for a Space Marine. For this reason, Blood Claw packs are usually led by a senior member of the chapter, such as a Grey Hunter or a [[Wolf Guard]], whose duty it is to rein in the worst of their recklessness and mark out those who show real potential for advancement.

A typical Blood Claw pack numbers between 5 and 15 marines. Casualties take their toll, and their numbers reduce quickly due to the rampant retardation of the Wolves trying to be manly while [[Furry|furry]], as well as the occasional piss-drunkenness. To the Wolves, this is a necessary process to separate the men from the boys, and weed out those too weak, slow, or incapable of having an erection while staring at a thunderwolf. Some Blood Claws take longer to outgrow their reckless phase (and [[Lukas the Trickster|some]] never do at all). For these, the "reward" is usually assignment to a specialized unit that makes the most of their love for speed and willingness to charge headlong into the fray - either the [[skyclaw]] assault packs or the [[Swiftclaw|swiftclaw bike squadrons.]]
