Combat Doctrine/Strategy :

Like most space wolves clans the Iron Wolves specializes in Close quarter combats. Generally known for its Blood Claws furious assaults, Grey hunters tenacity and head strong determination and the Long fangs fire control heavy support. Supported by other more specialized units such as the Wolf scouts and the very flexible Wolf guards.

Space wolves rarely use Deep strike via tunnelling . And doesn’t like the idea of using jump packs (except for Blood Claws). The Iron wolves are not an exception to this

In addition to this the Iron wolves practice Drop pod assaults, not just as support or in reserve, but in cases whole battle groups are deployed in drop pods. Often leaving heavy tanks on their Battle Barge, using infantry and dreadnoughts deployed via drop pods striking the enemy’s within its battle lines. The other usual tactic employed is to deploy a mobile Strike force and wolf scouts to assess and determine the enemy’s disposition, strength, weakness and then deploy units through drop pod assaults or create a defensive line and try to lure the enemy into attacking the well defended position and send in reinforcements to break the attack and then counter-attacking enemy to drive back the enemy or attack using assault drop pods over the weakened or over extended enemy positions.

In certain circumstances where the use of Drop pods is not available/ or Viable the iron wolves are also deadly in using a standard space wolf combat doctrines. In the absence of Drop pods Iron wolves often utilized mobile infantry units(in Razorbacks or Rhinos) supported by a Long Fangs, Vindicator or a Land raider Crusader. These units are often led by a Venerable dreadnought or a Wolf Guard Battle Leader.
