The Wolf King is coming home. 🐺

In this video, we dive deep into one of Warhammer 40K’s most enduring mysteries — the fate of Leman Russ, the Primarch of the Space Wolves. Is he truly lost to the Warp, or is his return closer than we think?

Drawing from the novels Wolfsbane, Ashes of Prospero, and Prospero Burns, along with author insights from Dan Abnett, Gav Thorpe, and Chris Wraight, we piece together the prophecy of the Wolftime and explore how Russ could return to the Imperium — not as a man, but as the ultimate weapon of the Emperor’s vengeance.

We’ll break down the lore, the prophecies, the author hints, and the true cost of Russ’s return — for both the Space Wolves and the Imperium itself.

🔥 Topics Covered:

• 03:43 The Primarch returns Prophesys

• 04:41 Where to find the Lore

• 05:18 Who is Russ, and Where Did He Go?

• 06:31 What is the Wolf Time, and what does it look like in 40k?

• 12:41 My Theory…

• 15:15 Fan theories and future implications for Warhammer 40K lore

⚔️ The hunt begins again. The Wolf King is not done yet.
