I'm personally under the impression from the books and the lore that Space Wolves have an extremely diverse group of tactics favored by the different wolf lords, some favoring certain methods than others. What I don't get is do they work well with others?
I've always loved the idea of Space Wolves and Valhallan Ice Warriors working together on a frozen russia-like planet with tons of cover and imperial structures but then I think about what I've read. Warriors charging at the enemy in packs, just face-ripping folks to gibbly bits.
I'd like someone to tell me what's what. Do the Wolves of Fenris take tactics seriously? DO they actually sit still long enough to fire their bolters from an Aegis Defense Line? Do their predators slink into cover of ruined buildings and line up a good shot rather than charging forward guns-a-blazin'?
As much as I love the vikings-in-space, sometimes I wonder about them... where does the sci-fi end and the fantasy begin?
