Why ban Space Wolves Successors? Both the 'Dark Imperium' novel and the new Codex states that multiple Primaris Successors have been created from all nine Loyalist First Founding Chapters. Granted, they've only mentioned the Wolfspear as the only 'official' Space Wolves' Successor Chapter, thus far. But that doesn't mean there aren't more. Perhaps they are the most likely candidates to possess these original intake of Fenrisian recruits for the Primaris Project? That also doesn't mean there haven't been more created from the pure Primarch genetic stock of the Imperial artefact known as the Sangprimus Portum.

As it states in the 'Warhammer 40K Rulebook' (8th Ed), pg. 59 this device contains the genetic material of all twenty of the Emperor's Primarchs. In the aftermath of the Horus Heresy, the Primarch Guilliman gave the Sangprimus Portum to Archmagos Dominus Cawl, after charging the Archmagos with creating the next generation of Space Marines. Cawl succeeded and the unleashed the Primaris Space Marines who are taller and stronger than their Space Marine brethren, due to the fact that the genetic material within the Sangprimus Portum was even more potent than the Gene-Seed descended from the Primarchs.

In the 'Dark Imperium' novel in Ch. 12, pg. 148, the Cawl Inferior device states to Guilliman his report about the Primaris Space Marines. It reports to Guilliman that ALL gene-lines continue to operate at peak efficiency. Tested gene-seed reveals a mutational deviancy of less than 0.001% per generation.

In regards to those Chapters with deeply ingrained flaws such as the Blood Angels and Space Wolves they mention this interesting tidbit:

"My standard response remains unchanged. Archmagos Belisarius Cawl understands your reservations. The corrected flaws in the new gene-stocks show no signs of regression to previous unstable states, whether in successor Chapters composed entirely of the new Primaris Space Marine type, or in already established Chapters. Elimination entirely of the more idiosyncratic traits of some gene-lines is, however, not to be recommended. They form part of the Emperor's original vision, and are, in any case, crucial to their proper function. I will restate Archmagos Belisarius Cawl's position on this matter. The improved gene-seed of Ninth and Sixth Legion stock is operating within acceptable parameters."

From this we can deduce that not only are there Primaris Successors of both genetic lines, but more than likely, there are probably more than one. Therefore, I propose that we allow Space Wolves Successors within certain parameters of course. Since they seem to possess their inherited wolf-like traits but without all the 'wolfing out' of the Wulfen part of their progenitor's original gene-seed.

What do you guys think?
