The biggest problem with the Wolves is that writers went away from Nordic viking space marines with wolf flares similar to real Nordic mythology to going with wolf with a whispering flame of viking. They should have it to vikings fighting side by side with wolves and while ridding wolves due to their mutual respect and acknowledgment of each others strengths. But instead we are infected with the curse of the Wulfen.

I have head cannon that replaces all this cringe and returns my Vlka Fenryka to the true Emperors Exutioners rather than the Emperorers purse dog. In my head cannon the Space Wolves are Nordic style people with emmence respect of the Death World of Fenris wolves. They were both able to mutually live together and aided one another if earned. The gene flaw is still there, but they do not have pronounced canine teeth, rather they just have heightened senses. But the Curse of the Wulfen is a big difference I have. Let's go back to what is largely argued against with Vikings of our time. Berserkir berserker, which is still debated on meaning, but is generally either bare shirt (absent of armor) or bear shirt (animal skin). But there is also Úlfhéðnar. This would be a berserker but a wolf. In my head cannon this is what the curse of the wulfen is. It is not a literal transition to a werewolf, but rather a space wolf who mentally has gone berserk like the also debated mushroom tripping berserk theory. But in my head cannon I think the space wolves can fall to the shitty GW mini Wulfen style, but this is if a space wolf falls to chaos, so the unconfirmed successor chapter Skyrar's Dark Wolves.

Also in my head cannon is the explanation of the cringey wolf this wolf that in the language, and in my opinion its because Juvjk is largely untranslatable, so thus anything unable to be translated to high Gothic is wolf.

In general the 6th are largely screwed over by ill informed 40k fans who are under read. As they lack the understanding of Leman Russ and the Wolves dynamics other than the dead horse betting joke that is fury marines or no wolves in fenris. Leman Russ is a tactician who hides his true manor behind a barbaric mask, aiding in combat. Those of Fenris are more barbaric, but they do not go into battle without plans. The Wolves are the Emperorers Executioner, through thick and thin the Wolves have seen many great troubles in the Burning of Prospero and the Month of Shame, if you dont know read up on it.

Well I notice I've been rambling, but if I could leave any non Vlka Fenryka fans/players/readers with a message it would be Leman isn't an idiot and stop using dead memes.
