Powers are common among the Blood Wolves, enhancing their abilities in and out of combat. Most space marines know some, but usually are not able to provide combat use without support by their squad and sergeant.
Higher ranked individuals are able to manifest at least one of these powers even in combat situations.
Blood Bond Powers:
These powers use a blood bond between wolves to enhance their abilities and coordination. The powers are usually relatively safe to use due to the shared will of the involved brothers.
• Blood Echo: The psyker can temporarily share the senses of any battle-brother they've performed a blood ritual with, allowing coordination of attacks from multiple angles.
• Crimson Link: The psyker can temporarily link the life forces of blood-bonded brothers, allowing them to share strength and endure wounds together.
• Blood Cloud: Clouding themselves or their squad in a cloud of their shared blood, less weapon fire affects the space marines. The strength depends on the space marines involved.
• Blood Link: Creating a temporary psychic connection between Blood Wolves of a squad, allowing for silent communication and coordination in battle.
Hunting Powers:
These powers deal with hunting enemies. They are especially common amongst assault squads, but many characters also know about their usage.
• Hunter's Aspects: The psyker enhances their physical capabilities by drawing on the aspects of great predators - the speed of the wolf, the strength of the bear, etc..
• Wolf Bite: Raw psychic energy is unleashed at the enemy, taking on the shape of a wolf's head and biting them.
• Wolf Howl: Projecting the howl of a terrifying predator into enemy minds to break their resolve and lower their morale.
• Predator's Jump: Jumping unnaturally high and far, hindrances are avoided, allowing for attacks from unexpected vectors even without the noise of jump packs.
• Walk of the Predator: Temporarily enhancing the speed and agility of themselves or others to close with the enemy quickly.
Stalking Powers:
Stalking a prey is enhanced by these abilities. The focus is on tracking the enemy and not being tracked at the same time.
• Psychic Veil: Cloaking themselves and others from enemy sight, enhancing their stealth capabilities.
• Prey on Thoughts: Delving into the thoughts of enemies to anticipate their actions or uncover secrets.
• Precognition: Brief glimpses into the future, aiding in tactical decision-making and anticipating enemy movements.
• Trail of Fear: The psyker can sense the emotional traces left by fleeing prey, following their trail of terror.
• Predator's Mark: The psyker places a psychic mark on a target that all Blood Wolves can sense, making it impossible for the prey to hide.
• Blood Memory: By touching spilled blood, the psyker can see fragments of memories from its owner, useful for tracking prey or gathering intelligence.
Pack Powers:
The pack grows stronger using these powers. This uses their ability to think outside the box , using more minds for better results in battles.
• Coordinated Strike: The psyker synchronizes the movements and attacks of nearby battle-brothers for devastating combination attacks.
• Pack Shield: Creates a protective barrier using the combined psychic energy of blood-bonded brothers.
• Unity of Purpose: The psyker can temporarily share combat techniques and muscle memory among squad members.
• Will of the Wolf: Creating a protective barrier of psychic energy around themselves to ward off attacks of the warp. The strength depends on the space marines involved.
Terror Powers:
Terror and spreading it is one of the most important parts of the blood wolves combat strategy. These powers deal with breaking enemies with minimal effort.
• Prey Response: Forces targets to experience the primal terror of being hunted, potentially causing them to flee or freeze.
• Predator's Presence: Projects an aura of menace that makes enemies hesitate to attack.
• Shadow of Death: Causes targets to perceive the psyker as their worst fears made manifest.
• Blood Boil: A gruesome power that causes the blood of enemies to boil within their veins, inflicting agonizing pain and potentially causing death.
