How big is a Space Wolves Great Company. I know that as of the most recent fluff, Ragnar Blackmane's Company has almost 200 warriors, and that's the largest. Were they ever bigger? Thanks...

^ IIRC, they were a lot larger during the Horus Heresy because each Legion had a +- 10000 man fighting strength. Now, not so much.

Seeing a squad of veterens swoop in in a Vendetta, secure the area, deliver that math assignment, and extract within 2 minutes would be freaking sweet.

They range in size from about 130 to ~ 200 according to the Ragnar Blackmane series.

Cool. Did the Space Wolves Great Companies go down in size, along with the regular Chapters? In the Horus Heresy, there's about 500 Space Wolves in the Third Great Company...

They did. There used to be a little more than 1000 per great company. 13 GCs and ~15000 warriors

I'm being really annoying here...

So they went from 1000 to just under 200 men?

No, that's the size of SW Great Companies now.

Ragnar's is but presumably Grimnir's is close behind...

Ragnar has a higher proportion of Blood Claws in his army, Grimnars is made up of mostly veterans.

It actually states Ragnar's great company comprises mostly of veteran warriors.
