Editing Fenris (section)

==Round 4 aka Yiff in Hell==
Recently Fenris has been attacked again by Chaos forces and GW has really made it clear things are going bad for them, with the [[Dark Angels]] severely damaging at least one planet in the system, Midgardia.

Then Magnus the Red and the Thousand Sons show up, ready to pick up where they left off last time. Yeah, things are going really well for the Wolves.

Magnus succeeds at killing many Fenrisians in the most disturbing and cruel way, but ultimately gets banished for his trouble (although later events would reveal that even this was just a part of the Daemon Primarch's plan). Then the Inquisition and Grey Knights proceed to wipe the those countless thousands of surviving Fenrisians who had fought against the daemon incursion, because now they're tainted by Chaos, and this time the Wolves aren't complaining about it lest they suffer another attack by their old foes. It also meant having to open their doors to the Inquisition; and now the Ordo Hereticus are frequent visitors, no doubt using the conflict as an excuse to get their foot in the door and keep tabs on the chapter. However, they're still a First Founding chapter, and the impressive sacrifice of two Wolf Lords in the 13th Black Crusade combined with the innate stubborness of the Wolves mean that they're far from the Inquisition's bitch.

In the aftermath though, the Rune Priests proclaim that the spirit of the World Wolf is whole once more, yet [[Chaos Spawn|new, more terrifying monsters]] would stalk the wilderness and give the Fenrisians ''(who already dealt with Krakens and Werewolves)'' something new to deal with.

The other planetary bodies of the system were also significantly damaged:
:'''[[Midgardia]]''' was infested by a plague designed by [[Mortarion]] and was subjected to <u>two exterminatuses</u> (exterminati? exterminata), first by the Dark Angels, then by the Wolves themselves due to the bulk of the planet's life residing underground and out of the way of the first Exterminatus, absolutely obliterating it. Shards of Midgardia continued to fall to other planets for years, infecting anyone nearby with horrible diseases.
:'''Svellgard''' was once an ocean world, but Midgardia's destruction caused solar flares which boiled away the water, leaving it a glassy, salty desert planet.
:'''[[Frostheim]]''' had its ice melted away by warpfire induced by the [[Alpha Legion]], leaving a thick layer of prehistoric bone that was said to [[Undead|come to life]] and hunt for the blood of the living under the sign of the new moon.
:Fenris' own moon '''Valdrmani''' was rendered into a hellish wasteland, but was reconsecrated and rebuilt into an astropathic relay station.

The world had a population of less than 3,400,000 before the war broke out, now undoubtedly reduced following the planetary invasion and subsequent civilian purging by [[Grey Knights]] due to their exposure to daemonic forces. Coupled with the revelation that exposure to the Wulfen Curse is contagious, seeming to accelerate it's eruption in other Space Wolves, it may mean the chapter is doomed to either die out, mutate into [[Wulfen]], lose their sanity and go renegade to fight Chaos like the [[Wolf Brothers]] before or some combination of the above. If only they had that cure Strawberry destroyed the first time he attacked... At least the space yiffs would get their chance to go down in a blaze of glory, seeing as the 13th Black Crusade starts pretty much immediately after the Fourth battle for Fenris.

However, the creation of the [[Wolfspear]], [[Primaris Marines|Primaris]] reinforcements and along with the fact that GW isn't likely to kill off one of the most popular first founder chapters means that the Space Wolves will still live on. The Primaris Space Wolves seem to be resistant to the Curse of the Wulfen's physical effects, but it still can cause them to go into a bestial rage at times.

Coupled with the restoration of the defenses of Fenris, the Space Wolves, while not at their same strength prior to the Siege of Fenris, will likely not be going anywhere soon.
