Runefang

Runefang is a term that appears in the lore of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, specifically related to the Space Wolves. It refers to a potent psychic ability possessed by some of the Space Wolves' most powerful warriors, particularly their Rune Priests. This ability allows them to channel the raw power of the warp and manifest it as destructive energy, often in the form of lightning or concussive blasts.

The origin of Runefang is tied to the unique psychic connection the Space Wolves have with the wolf spirits of the Fenrisian wilderness, their homeworld. Through ancient rituals and rigorous training, their Rune Priests learn to interpret and manipulate the unseen energies of the galaxy. Runefang is considered one of the most formidable expressions of this psychic prowess, capable of shattering enemy formations and even damaging daemonic entities.

While Runefang is primarily a psychic manifestation, it is often described as being accompanied by visual cues, such as glowing runes or crackling energy. The exact nature and power of a specific Runefang ability can vary between individuals, reflecting the unique strengths and experiences of each Rune Priest. It is a testament to the wild and untamed nature of the Space Wolves, a force that sets them apart from many other factions in the grim darkness of the far future.
