Squad Organisation: Black Wolves may only be taken in five man squads, with the exception of Terminators who may be taken in squads of three to ten men.

Special Rules: Black Wolves are affected by Rapid Fire and Break Test rules as they are Space Marines. They are also affected by Acute Senses, this is similar to the Space Wolves Acute Senses except that they only get a bonus of half their initiative. They suffer Hatred against Orks and are immune to Ork characters and weapons that cause Fear and Terror. Black Wolves abhor the use of bionic implants and prefer to have their body interred inside a dreadnought. That way they may serve the chapter for many more years than would previously have been possible.

Background: Iron Wolf is a special title given to the Champions and Commanders of the Black Wolves.

The survivor becomes the ruler of the two tribes.
