Hi there

I've just started collecting and building the space wolves. Before I start getting too far in and before I start painting I'd like to decide on the squad/pack I'd like to use. Is there any information or lore on these that I can read? Or is it simply just a case of picking which marking I think looks the best?

Thanks in advance

Have a look at this guide https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/f/p/3311266298855986403.

This is of more use for the colours than anything else for the type of pack that you are painting. What you actually use is up to you, Runes, Swirls, Fangs, Wolves, Skulls... as long as the markings are the same across the squad you are cool!
