kittenofdeath Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I know I just asked a question in another thread, but I have another one On the cover of the space wolves codex is a picture of three marines (I think the one on the left is a grey hunter, the middle is a wolf lord or battle leader, and the one on the right is a wolf guard) The grey hunter's great company marking is two wolf heads side by side, tilted upwards and looking away from each other, it is on a white background. I looked at it, and realized that it wasn't one of the great company markings in the book, so who are they? (apart from three manly men of manlyness of course) Are they a lost company? (personally I hope so, nice to have another thing to point at when I explain the ideas of lost company's to people) are they an old company under a leader long dead? or did the artist just screw up?

Hfran Morkai Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 A lot of people have been taking it as a stylized version of Morkai's symbol, for it features two heads, though not connected. Alternatively it may have been set out of the "current" SW history. Therefore I cannot say for certain, lest the Wolf Lord's strike me down for my ignorance. A very interesting point though, one I'm keen to hear opinions on.

stinkenheim Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 its morkai, 99% certain. all the symbols on the different members show two wolf heads with white somewhere behind them. in he new codex this is how morkais symbol is shown- 2 headed wolf on white background.

Schertenleib Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I also believe this to be Erik Morkai. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191488-unknown-great-company/#findComment-2272412 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I also believe this to be Erik Morkai. I would quite confidently say this too.
