SamaNagol Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Give me an example of what the 'chapter symbol' is. Because technically there isn't actually one.

Rokafort Stonewolf Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Actually, the yellow diamond with the wolf skull is our chapter symbol. It's rarely used, but it appears as such in at least one Index Astartes. Actually, now that I'm looking around, this is only one official "chapter symbol" GW has put out over the years, many others look more like Blackmane's symbol. What a bloody mess, glad we don't have to put it on our guys! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180821-space-wolves-logo/#findComment-2140920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growler67 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 There are plenty on the intraweb if you care to do a Google image search. That way there won't be any stickiness over GW IP and such nor anyone giving such out without permission. Lots can be found pretty easily, just depends on how high a res you want/will be content with.

WolfLordLars Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 That detail is runes, and that picture is the chapter symbol as far as I know. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180821-space-wolves-logo/#findComment-2140977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostWolf1023 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 i was hoping maybe there was a transfer sheet or something already in pdf format that had it, ive scoured all over google and bing to look for such an image but unfortunately ive not had much luck, the i like it without the neck cut of cause it seems to balance it out more, what im planning to do is use the image for some custom space wolves dice from chessex Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180821-space-wolves-logo/#findComment-2141058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its called the "Wolf who stalks the stars" and is a wolf Rampant on a field of four stars. Shouldnt be hard to find.

Its also the symbol used by the Great Wolf for people like priests- who belong to the chapter as a whole. Then theres the Great Wolfs own symbol, like Logains Night Runner, and then theres the other GC symbols. Though Ive heard the wolfs head by itself before Ive yet to find a source for it... save in RT pictures, where its yellow with a red border. I was pretty sure that had been retconned though.

I've just looked in the current codex and it shows that prancing heraldic wolf on a starry background as the symbol that a wolf lord's adopts when their wolf lord becomes the great wolf. I guess it's fair to say that in this edition it's the great company symbol, but that doesn't mean it isn't the chapter symbol too. It is the design on the chapter banner, that's for sure.

Lumdin Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I was also under the impression that the chapter symbol was the prancing wolf on the 4 star background. Its used as the pointer on the dial that points to the current great wolf. In addition why would each great wolf take it as their symbol if it wasnt. Because thegreat wolf's original personal company adopts this new symbol as theirs in addition the to all the priests have the symbol because they are considered part of the great company. Otherwise each wolf lord would keep their own company symbol when becoming the great wolf. I cant remember where I also read it was Russ's personal heraldry. The great wolf acts in Russ' stead until he returns. The symbol seems pretty indicative of Space wolves, wolf on star background. Just my 2 cents Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180821-space-wolves-logo/#findComment-2144365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumdin Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Just checked codex Bottom of page 14 "This is the Wolf That Stalks Between Stars; the ancient badge of leman russ himself and the symbol proudly emblazoned on the Chapter's Banner" Just a heads up Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180821-space-wolves-logo/#findComment-2144374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Man I Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I've just looked in the current codex and it shows that prancing heraldic wolf on a starry background I was also under the impression that the chapter symbol was the prancing wolf on the 4 star background. It’s NOT prancing. It’s standing up to pee on the enemies of the imperium and Leman Russ because lifting its leg is to "girly" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180821-space-wolves-logo/#findComment-2144409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumdin Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 [My BAD!!!!
