Grey Hunters - Tor Starsplitters pack






Wolf Guard - Tor Starsplitter (leads Grey Hunters)

Tor never seemed destined for true greatness. His arc had seen him rise from claw to hunter with no obvious trait of distinction. Serving efficiently and diligently but never truly shining. But his fate would snake and wind, throwing him the most sternest and unexpected of challenges.

A barren rock in the western fringes, his company were investigating the sightings of renegades from the world eaters. A rag tag band that had terrorized the nearby system of Vos and its shipping lanes.

On patrol Tors pack would find itself at the vanguard as dawn broke. Crimson rhinos bearing the mark of the traitor legion rumbled out into the gloom. Opening fire on the snarling wolves, who in turn gunned their own rhino at the renegades while support desperately raced in. The traitors were not just lead by a power hungry champion, but the arch betrayer himself - Kharn.

The betrayer who would test even the great wolf now stood in the sights of Tors squad. The bellowing champion hurled millennia old curses as he charged the hunters, even outpacing his berserkers. Meeting the Grey hunters single-handed he felled many with screams of gorechild. In the face of such terrible power the hunters did not waver, as they swarmed and hacked at the ancient warrior. Yet the betrayer in his rage would eventually best the pack, all but Tor who fought like the wolves of old facing the heresy. Scoring several killing blows the hunter managed to wound the champion, but the strike had left him open.

The hunters assault had bought enough time, as the Night wolves closed in for what would be a bloody and unrelenting battle. Tor, survived his wounds and his deeds were noted. For it was his strike that had allowed his wolf lord to finish the champion in single combat. Tor received a place in the elite and his latent potential snarled into being. At his side he carries the fearsome axe 'starsplitter', which he vowed would one day clash again with gorechild.

  2. Thanks Lord AK. Anyone can do it, just make a bunch of stuff up, easier with wolves as they like to embellish... :)
