Ullr Direfang Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 So I have be trying to figure out the PERFECT symbol for my Great Company. And for some reason, just now, the idea of using Lokyar as my symbol would be perfect and kind of fitting with my Wolf Lords fluff. But now my question: Is there any GW fluff that shows ta symbol for it? I have looked through all I have and have come up empty handed. Just wondering if any one knows of something. Or else I might have to try and get creative again.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260219-lokyar-symbol/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I've not seen it. I'd like to know as well as I have a whole GH pack who have taken Lokyar as their pack inspiration.

Ullr Direfang Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Well I know only a few hours isn't much time for all the wolves here, But I found these that I think would be good ideas to maybe base the symbol off of: I think the first is kind of something that "would be expected" of the typical Space Wolf symbology, but the second would kind of be "it's own thing". Half a wolf's head lost in shadow with just an eye and some fangs showing. Not sure. Still willing to wait and see if any one know of any thing from "before my time".

Wulfebane Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 In the past I've noted atleast two separate wolf scout illustrations with the spirit wolf emblem. If I were to take up Lokyar, that's the emblem I would likely use.

Bearingtheword Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Can someone please enlighten this ignorant soul? What is (a) Lokyar? Thanks! ~BtW Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260219-lokyar-symbol/#findComment-3167199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Lokyar is the 'lone wolf'. It's a term that used to be used to describe those space wolves who couldn't fit into the usual fenrisian society/pack mentality, namely the scouts. It was said that they were 'touched by Lokyar' because they favoured their own company and being outside rather than confined to the Fang. Whilst the spiritwolf and Lokyar are two seperate entities in fenrisian mytholgoy it isn't a bad symbol and anything that'll get it used more often is good to me lol.

Ullr Direfang Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Wulfebane, I did a spiritwolf symbol search and you actually posted a picture of it in the past. It is a little different from what I would of thought, so maybe "modifying" it so will make a good Lokyar. I will have to play around with this. Maybe just the head surrounded by a moon or something.... Thanks!

Ullr Direfang Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Lokyar is only mentioned in the Wolf Scout section of the current codex. I think in the post I saw with the symbol, it was said to be from the 2nd ed (?) I don't have my 3rd ed codex on hand, but don't remember it in there.

Ozeryk_Sleipnijr Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Look up "Symbols of Loki" under the pictures in google. Since the name is Lokyar is derived from Loki you will find lots of symbols Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260219-lokyar-symbol/#findComment-3169036 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ullr Direfang Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 So some current thoughts (not that I could ever paint these): Like? Dislike? Any thing that could be changed??

Xeenos Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Ha, Lokyar is something? And here i thought it was a name i came up with.. few years back i brain stormed up a name for a char, believe it was an Elf in NwN. Anyway, that later moved on to become the name of my Wolf Lord, and a number of other chars of mine over the years. Funny enough if you do a google on Lokyar, a friend posted on youtube a video called 'Gruunk and Lokyar' which is myself in Warhammer! Point being, i was amused to see "Lokyar symbol?" I.. dont have a symbol anymore! When i was younger i used the Yin symbol, as i liked it, but did not know what it was. B) Carved it into the shoulder of a few figures.

Growler67 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Perhaps a variation of something like these: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/167/1/c/new_da_gwd_id_by_drummerwolf-d3j27qc.png http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3057/2553470829_0630b7590e_z.jpg Just lines making an incomplete yet visible outline. I believe the top drawing in your imge is similar to the "ghost wolf" from one of the ealier Codices, except the neckline was longer (not so short as yours).

Ullr Direfang Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 I kind of like the second best. Might have to work with that. It is kind of like one I made last night: The left two are what I was meaning. I like the top left the most. Figure I would paint just the out line of time with a yellow eye. I might try to get it to look more like that second on you posted Growler67.

Growler67 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Those are images I have in a projects folder of mine, one of many. It has been a while as some things IRL have kept me away from The Fang here for far too long, though I do try to remember to pop in every once in a while. I will try to find some time to sketch out a few other ideas and take pics to post for you. I am enthralled with Wolf Scouts and all of their aspacts. Likewise I have specific ideas about them. Iconography among those ideas. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260219-lokyar-symbol/#findComment-3172247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ullr Direfang Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Strangely my Wolf Lord "chose" the Lokyar symbol due to his past. He was never a Wolf Scout. He was outcast from his tribe yet still survived due to his "gift". Then as a Space Wolf, most others did what they could to avoid him, kind of making him the "odd one out" so he kept to himself against his deep down want to have a pack. Eventually he was seen by his former Wolf Lord as a true Son of Russ, and promoted him to Wolf Guard. Yet he never forgot what Lokyar taught him while on his own. Just a little fluff about my dude, hence why I want a unique company symbol.

Wulfebane Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I barely spent an hour on this (on my tablet, no less) so take from it what you will, but this would probably be the direction I'd go for a Lokyar emblem. Alternate Oh, and if anyone wants to use them, permission granted in advance.

Grimtooth Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I am researching some stuff that I might consider making into stencils for vehicles and here is one I found that I might consider, minus the tribal stuff on the bottom. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/13105303.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260219-lokyar-symbol/#findComment-3172629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 This was another that I liked due to the bleeding moon and texture on the wolf. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Grimtooth_photos/11-00019-2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260219-lokyar-symbol/#findComment-3172632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ullr Direfang Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Wulfebane, that second one made my armor tight...... I feel the flattened ears would fit Lokyar much better then perked ears. Just feel it give the impression of a lone wolf more. Brother Ramses, I might use that second one from my tanks as well. Kind of showing both sides of Lokyar. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260219-lokyar-symbol/#findComment-3172782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
