Merkava Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 What is the chapter symbol? My understanding is that on the shoulder pads is the pack symbol and the great company symbol. Is the symbol that we see on all the mini's Ragnar Blackmanes Company? (ala all space marine stuff is UM 2nd company). If this is correct it leads me to believe that the chapter symbol seen here is actually Ragnar's symbol. Would the chapter symbol actually be the wolf that walks the stars of the great wolf? This was worn by Russ so would that not actually be the chapter symbol? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184098-chapter-symbol/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 The Wolves lack a true "Chapter" symbol, the closest is the Great Wolf's symbol as that's Russ' mark and also appears on the Chapter Banner, each company uses its own marks as you've observed, GW just like Ragnar's company.

Nadir Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Chapter symbol is almost the same as the Blackmane's. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184098-chapter-symbol/#findComment-2176281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growler67 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Current Great Cmpany Icons: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/File:Curre...mpany_icons.png As stated, there is no "official" Chapter Symbol, part of our uniqueness. Of the many Icons associated with the various Great Companies and Wolf Lords, many are instantly recognizable as well as identifyable as "Space Wolves". Find one you like, then use it.

muzzyman1981 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 The Great Wolf's icon would be, if anything, the Chapter's....but as you have read in the previous posts there are no symbols that designate Space Wolves....they merely wear their Great Company's symbol in the place of a Chapter icon. The "Wolf Among the Stars" was Russ' personal symbol but was not made the Legion's/Chapter's symbol because as has also been said Russ and his Wolves are very individualistic and have no need for a "Chapter Icon" such as the Ultramarines or Blood Angels or Those Who Wear Dresses (Dark Angels) have.

Merkava Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Okay, so really anything "wolfy" does it then. The only reason I ask is because Ultramarine's 2nd Company is my primary army and now want to do something that is still fluffy but not GW done. I am doing Bjorn Stormwolf's Great Company.

Dewi Sant Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 When I started playing back in the days of RT is was Rag's. You must remember not a lot had been written about the wolves till the first codex came out. Only then did all the other wolf lords emblems turn up. Use what you want that's the beautiful thing about the wolves of Russ.

Use what you want that's the beautiful thing about the wolves of Russ. Spot on. Back then, every wolf wore the blackmane wolf as the chapter symbol. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184098-chapter-symbol/#findComment-2178147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
