A Legion Centurion, Legion Tartaros Centurion or Legion Cataphractii Centurion with the Legiones Astartes (Space Wolves) special rule may be upgraded to a Caster of Runes instead of selecting any of the Standard Consul upgrades, gaining the following benefits:

• A Caster of Runes gains the Psyker Sub-type and must select one of the following Psychic Disciplines: Winds of Fenris, Divination, Telekinesis or Biomancy. A Caster of Runes may not select any other Discipline. In addition, a Caster of Runes gains the Adamantium Will (4+) special rule.

Legiones Astartes (Space Wolves)
Bestial Savagery: A unit made up entirely of models with the Infantry Unit Type and the Legiones Astartes (Space Wolves) special rule that chooses to Run in the Movement phase may still make a Shooting Attack in the Shooting phase, and declare a Charge in the Assault phase of the same turn – but any Shooting Attacks made in the same turn as that in which a unit with this special rule has Run are made as Snap Shots. Units that cannot Run (such as Legion Cataphractii Terminators) or models that do not have the Vehicle or Infantry Unit Type instead gain +1 WS on any turn in which they successfully Charge, even if that Charge is considered Disordered. Models with the Vehicle Unit Type and this special rule that make Ram Attacks increase the Strength of any Hits inflicted as part of that attack by +1, to a maximum of 10.

Any Legion Centrurions, Legion Cataphractii Centurions and Legion Tartaros Centurions with this special rule may not select the Chaplain, Librarian or Primus Medicae Consul Upgrades. Instead these models gain access to the Pack Thegn, Speaker of the Dead and Caster of Runes Upgrades.

Reactions
Space Wolves Advanced Reaction:

This Advanced Reaction is available only to units made up entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Space Wolves) special rule. Unlike Core Reactions, Advanced Reactions are activated in unique and specific circumstances, as noted in their descriptions, and can often have game changing effects. Advanced Reactions use up points of a Reactive player’s Reaction Allotment as normal and obey all other restrictions placed upon Reactions, unless it is specifically noted otherwise in their description.

No Prey Escapes the Wolf – This Advanced Reaction may be made once per battle in the opposing player’s turn, when any enemy unit with one or more models within 12" of a friendly unit made up entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Space Wolves) special rule is moved during the Movement phase. Once the enemy unit that triggered this Reaction has been moved, but before any other units are moved, a single friendly unit made up entirely of models with the Legiones Astartes (Space Wolves) special rule that can draw a line of sight to the enemy unit that moved may immediately move up to a number of inches equal to the highest Initiative Characteristic in the unit and then declare a Charge targeting the enemy unit that moved if it is within 12". A Charge declared as part of this Reaction is resolved immediately (the enemy unit may not declare any Reaction against this Charge), and if successful the combat will be fought as normal in the following Assault phase, with a Charging unit with the Legiones Astartes (Space Wolves) special rule gaining all the normal benefits of Charging.
