Editing Grey Hunter (section)

==Overview==

After surviving their initial service as [[Blood Claw|Blood Claws]] (a process that can be summed up as not drunkedly going mano-a-mano with an [[Ork]] [[Stompa]]), Space Wolves are promoted to the ranks of the Grey Hunters, and allowed to trade in their bolt pistols for the venerable boltguns that are the mainstay of a Space Marine's armory.

The Grey Hunters are as hungry for battle and [[Furry|wolves]] as their Blood Claw brethren, but their aggression is tempered with experience that has taught them the value of patience and cunning. Grey Hunters excel at both attack and defense, and moreover are able to determine which approach best fits the tactical situation at hand. When on the offensive, they coordinate like actual soldiers, not drunk hooligans; advancing with deliberate suppression fire and good coordination, until they draw close enough to the enemy to [[RIP AND TEAR]].

As a Space Wolf grows older and more experienced, the Canis Helix - the unique aspect of the Space Wolves geneseed - causes more extreme physical changes. By the time they have attained the status of Grey Hunters, their hair has literally turned grey, their fangs have lengthened, their hides have toughened, and, in some extreme cases, their eyes may turn yellow, until their resemblance to the wolves of Fenris is greater than ever.

It is usually from Grey Hunter packs that a brave, skilled warrior will be chosen 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 commemorate the warriors deeds and relate them to future battle-brothers. These sagas both impart battle knowledge to younger marines, and inspire their courage and bravery, causing them to try to outdo their predecessor. If they choose not to become a Wolf Guard, than they would grow so old that they become eligible to join the [[Long Fang]]s.
