Shadow Wolves
The Shadow Wolves was a Codex Astartes-compliant, Loyalist Space Marine Chapter that may have been derived from the Imperial Fists’ gene-seed. Created during an unknown Founding, these Astartes were known to be a zealous and faithful Chapter by reputation. They fought for the honour of the Emperor of Mankind for thousands of Terran years, until they met their ultimate fate at the hands of a Tyranid splinter fleet in 987.M41 when their homeworld of Varadon was overrun by the xenos swarms. Even though the Chapter is officially considered extinct, a strike-force of Shadow Wolves was spotted on Cadia in ca. 999.M41, fighting Abaddon the Despoiler’s forces of Chaos during the 13th Black Crusade.

No Records. No Witnesses.
The archive has a slot for Shadow Wolves and nothing to put in it. Somewhere out there the art exists and I have not found it yet, or nobody has made it. Either way, that is fixable.
Two ways to fill it
Artists: make something tagged Shadow Wolves and send it in. New work gets credited, linked and pushed out on the gallery socials.
Everyone else: if you have seen art that fits Shadow Wolves, send me the link. Finding the artist is my job, spotting the art is yours.
One bit of honesty: every piece on this site is hand-picked by me, so sending something in is not an automatic post. Art aimed at an empty tag like Shadow Wolves has a much better shot than most, because these are exactly the gaps I am trying to fill, but it is still a hopeful maybe rather than a guarantee. If a piece does not make it, that is no reflection on you or your work, so please keep them coming.
