History

The Icefangs are an esoteric Space Wolves successor of the Ultima Founding. They trace back to Space Wolves Greyshields in Indomitus Crusade Fleet Primus who, despite serving beside other genetic lineages, gathered among their own kind and formed hunting packs. Such groups formed the nuclei of the new successor Chapters; the Icefangs' nucleus was many of the fleet's psychically inclined Greyshields.

Notes

The Chapter is regarded as esoteric; its speciality is the Rune Priests, because its core consisted of psychically inclined Greyshields.
