Leman Russ, Part II: The Weight of Ash

Part II of the Leman Russ arc — from the desperate siege in the Alaxxes Nebula where Bjorn pulled his Primarch back from despair and Dark Angels rescued the pack from Alpha Legion encirclement, through the Space Wolves' late arrival at a Terra already broken, Russ's clash with Valdor over the Emperor's fate and the underground fight with Lion El'Jonson, the Codex Astartes dispute and the failed Wolf Brothers Chapter, to Bjorn's naming as first Great Wolf — and Russ's final feast at the Fang, his promise of the Wolftime, and his disappearance into the Eye of Terror.

Leman Russ, Part I: The Wolf Who Bit the Emperor

Part I of the Leman Russ arc — from his infancy on the death world of Fenris, raised by wolves alongside Freki and Geri, through his adoption into the Russ tribe and rise to king, the famous Three Challenges against the Emperor, his command of the Space Wolves Legion as the Imperium's Executioner, the fraught campaigns of the Great Crusade (Night of the Wolf, the blood vow against Magnus, the brawl with Lion El'Jonson on Dulan), and the Council of Nikaea — all building toward the Burning of Prospero, where Horus manipulated Russ into razing a world and breaking a brother, setting in motion ten thousand years of consequence.
