When on duty or in battle, White Wolves would normally dress in heavy suits of plate mail, lacquered black or treated with dark oil. These Knights are very distinctive, both on and off the battlefield. ![]() Units of White Wolves may be dispatched on quests or missions, or they may be sent to battle, marching as part of the army of Middenland to war, or accompanying a larger Templar army on a crusade against a common foe. Whilst on duty however, the White Wolves are tasked with guarding the temples and priests of Ulric throughout the Empire and beyond. The Templars there would often venture out on military missions to take the fight to their enemies, including joining on seasonal Crusades against local Beastmen or Greenskin encampments within the Drakwald region. Those larger chapter-houses have within their ranks around several units of White Wolves, the duties of which extend beyond merely guarding Ulrican interests. ![]() Independent chapter-houses of White Wolves do exist, but these are a rare occurrence. Almost every temple of Ulric, from the smallest of shrines to the high temples in Middenheim, has at least one or two White Wolves stationed in it. According to ancient Teutogen tradition, the High-Priest known now as the Ar-Ulric is expected to raise and maintain his own force for the defence of the Temple and the faith, and to honour the wolf-god in battle with their valiant deeds whenever he can.

" Old White Wolf will sniff you out, Old White Wolf with braided hair, Many units, such as the Brotherhood of the Axe, the Teutogen Guard and the berserk Fellwolf Brotherhood comprise the elite core of this savage order. The Knights are all followers of the god Ulric, who is worshipped throughout the Empire as the patron God of War, a position that supplements the position of Sigmar in the more northern provinces such as Nordland and Middenland. The Knights of the White Wolf are based in the city of Middenheim, where their Order was founded following a great victory against the Forces of Chaos outside the city walls during the first few years of Sigmar's reign as the First Emperor of the Empire. The Knights' wolf-skin cloaks, coupled with their long, often wild hair and beards, gives them a barbaric appearance similar to those of the first worshippers of Ulric, but in truth they are a highly disciplined and martial Order whose presence inspire both courage and savagery that rivals that of even the most blood-thirsty and savage of the Northmen Warriors. Readily identified by their distinctive wolf pelts and their savage fighting-style, the Knights of the White Wolf are the most ancient and largest of the Templar Orders in the entire Old World, their founding dating back to the time of Ar-Ulric Wulcan, during the Age of Sigmar some 2,500 years ago. The Order of the Knights of the White Wolf, or White Wolves as they are more commonly known, are the most infamous of all the Templar Orders under the worship and servitude of the Ar-Ulric and their God, Ulric, God of Wolves and Winter. ![]() White and Gold, Fur-Pelts and Wolf-Sigils ![]()
