Can Space Wolves reproduce?
Yes, and no. All Astartes are sterile, and while some Astartes DO have sex (most notably the Space Wolves), they can not father children. However, each Astartes has two progenoid glands, as part of the 19 gene seed organs that make an Astartes an Astartes.
What does VLKA Fenryka mean?
One of the things that gets me is their proper name, Vlka Fenryka. It means “Wolves of Fenris.” And since Fenrir is the name of a wolf in Viking myths, their real legion name is “Wolves of the wolf.” So their Chapter Master would be the Great Wolf of the Wolf Lords of the Wolves of the Wolf.

Can you mix Space Marine chapters?
So yes, now you can combine spacemarine armies. Unfortunately you are not allowed to mix-and-match with units from different Codices any which way. The different books are tuned somewhat to have different strengths and weaknesses. What’s acceptable in ‘normal’ play is of course up to the people you play with!
Why did the Space Wolves have no successor chapters?

What defines a Space Wolves battle-brother?
