Brief Character History
After the death of Lord Andhrimnir during the Mordrak Campaign, Bran was promoted by Lord Andhrimnir's retinue to take over as the Wolf Lord as the Space Wolves are known to do. When the other Lords heard this they whined about it to Ulrik the Slayer saying that Werewolf's couldn't be Lords as he might lose control and they would end up with more to add to the blank stone of the Anvilus. Logan Grimnar told them all to stop Bitchin and accept him as one of them. He said this after consulting the sage of the Chapter, Bjorn who told of other lords who had the curse of the Wulfen in them. Notably Bulveye of the original 13th Great Company. After all this Logan Grimnar has tasked Ulrik and the rest of the Wolf Priests with keeping an eye on him so he doesn't become lost like the original Wulfen company. Bran's tactics revolve round the patient game and are almost as good as the Raven Guard at waiting for the right moment to strike. Once his orders are given he leaves the battle to his Wolf Guard and disappears to hunt alone. This way when he goes Werewolf he doesn't waste any of his company in his rage. When he becomes the Werewolf he grows to a massive 12 foot tall monster who can tear through Armour with ease.
Tabletop
Redmaw is another of those very expensive 200+ point characters, but pound for pound is probably high value for what you pay for.
He's got your regular Wolf Lord statline and all your traditional rules and gear.
What he gets on top of that is a S+1 AP2 shredding axe that strikes at initiative. So he's pretty handy in a scrap. Though the axe alone does not justify his points cost.
Each turn after the first he rolls a die, adding +1 for each unit in combat that he can see. If the result is a 5+ he goes full Werewolf and powers up to near-Primarch levels; gaining WS7 S/T6 I6 A5. As well as Eternal Warrior, Fleet, Furious Charge, Feel No Pain, Fearless, as well as Rending close combat attacks. However he does lose the axe and any ability to shoot, but he does keep all of his remaining gear, so he still has his 2+/4++ saves and sticks with whatever squad he was attached to.
