About the Space Wolves Expansion

The Wolf Guard’s boarding torpedoes slammed into the side of the Messenger of Woe and the Terminators stormed out, quickly establishing a bridgehead from which to launch further attacks. Progress was good and hundreds of Genestealers fell to the Space Wolves’ assault cannon and chainfists. However, a relatively small force of the vile aliens managed to evade the fate of their brethren, slipping away into the shadowy depths of the hulk whilst the Wolf Guard fiercely battled their way towards them. Eradicating this knot of resistance would be the Space Wolves’ main, and most treacherous, task.
