To the east were soaring Friemiaki and Tror, the Brothers of Thunder. High up in the Jarlheim stands a remote chamber, far from the largely inhabited halls. The defenders of the Fang had reacted fast, and were able to scramble several packs of Space Wolves before the bombardment commenced. One Wolf Guard was flung across the hangar, his head crushed. Hraldir and several other Wolves had dreams of emulating the Ultramarines, the Imperial Fists, and other Founding Chapters, and creating a host of Successors - to be called the Sons of Russ - numerous enough to encircle the Eye of Terror. The Battle of the Fang is the name given to the invasion of Fenris by the Thousand Sons Chaos Space Marines and the resultant victorious defence of their homeworld by the Space Wolves Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes.It is most well-known for the direct participation of (and eventual combat between) the Thousand Sons daemon-primarch Magnus the Red and the Space Wolves dreadnought … Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. There are symbols of the Great Companies of old – wolfsheads, broken moons, claws, axe-shafts and bleached skulls. A few fires burn low in vast circular pits, but their light is weak and the perma-chill is little disturbed by them.
This sombre crypt serves as a shrine to the memory of that noble Wolf Lord who battled the Chapter's gravest foe. Eventually however, the Space Wolf forces had to retreat inside their walls (blowing the entrance behind them), pressed as they were by constant artillery barrages and the implacable advance of Rubric Marines. At the deepest levels of The Fang, at the base of the region known as the Underfang, lay the massive geothermal generators which provide the great citadel with all of the power required for its operations.
[1l], For Harek Ironhelm had arrived, his drop-pod purposefully impacting on the very peak of the Fang itself. It is a universe of stone marked by the increasing heat radiated by the geothermal reactors that provide The Fang with its power and by the ancient Armouries and hidden vaults of the Chapter where the Space Wolves kept their greatest secrets -- and their honoured dead. [1e], This tactic meant that the Thousand Sons ground forces could land relatively - but not completely - unopposed.
However, it did not even come close to destroying them, and their recovery from it was assured. When the warning klaxons blare across the demesnes of the twelve Great Companies, the narrow ways are lit with a savage fire -- for when the masters of the mountain have been summoned to service, it is as if the earth itself has been shaken into sentience. Across the yawning cavern, huge columns support the far-off roof. Despite some successes, the weight of numbers bore against the Space Wolves and the tactic was quickly given up before unnecessary casualties were taken. These Planet Scourers were essentially gigantic plasma cannons built into and around a starship, designed with the express purpose of being able to keep up an intense and continuous bombardment of a surface target. Battle of the Fang is the sixth novel in the Space Marine Battles Series.
