Haldor Icepelt, Battle Leader of The Blackmanes

 Haldor Icepelt, Battle Leader of the Blackmanes

The model for Haldor Icepelt, a new Primaris Battle Leader for the Blackmanes, was released in 2018 in the Tooth and Claw boxed set, which accompanied the Space Wolves Codex for 8th Edition. This was the first book for the faction that included these new Primaris units, and Icepelt was the first Space Wolves Primaris named character. Interestingly he has not yet had his own separate entry in a Codex, so must be built using the generic Primaris Lieutenant entry from the 9th Edition Space Marine Codex.

For playing with him in games of GDF, I've given him a Carbine and an Energy Sword (Axe), as well as the War Chant ability, which gives him and his unit +1 Attack with a melee weapon of their choice in close combat. For now, my plan is to use Haldor Icepelt attached to my unit of Blood Claws who will ride in an Impulsor to get into charge range of an appropriate assault target.
