The Shield Guard of the Space Wolves' Third Company, Ogier the Wide-Eyed, held high a shield engraved with protective Runes and charged forward in great strides.
The Harbinger of Calamity, Svafnir Swift-Wolf, followed behind him, gripping a harpoon-like Null-Weapon.
Lemuel Gaumon dragged Camille Shivani and Kaia away from the savage wolves. He saw the harpoon's serrated blade whirl, executing Psykers one after another.
Two other wolves sang barbaric songs as they slaughtered Wizards wholesale.
"Lemuel, Camille, Kaia, over here!"
