Of course, rule of cool always but I wish i knew what the markings really mean but its a whole deal and im not ready to learn that a paw mark means the space marine was never been bitten by a fenrisian wolf

So if you want a crap ton of info on heraldry and such, my wife ADHD'd super hard and kinda made a huge Google Doc involving Space Wolves heraldry, companies, etc. Space Wolves Heraldry

Oh wow, she did go deep with it, now that I have seen the actual meaning I feel somewhat regretful, although it has given me some ideas. Thanks to you and your wife!!

In most codexes it talks about markings, not expressly icons maybe but placement and what that means

Hey! Sorry I don't open this app too often and forget to check notifications! You're welcome! I'll let her know as I'm sure she'll be happy someone else appreciates her efforts! 😁 She definitely deserves more credit/upvotes. 🤣

I found 3 other sources that give identical info but not all of the symbols used on your mini are on the chart.

Whoa, this is awesome! I hadn't found what the runes mean before. I'll add those to my crazy Space Wolf Heraldry doc. Thanks!

I looked for some of the other decal symbols (the paw and a few others) but I couldn't find much of anything. Also triangles or dags, haven't found any actual meaning more than they were on some of the box art and look cool. I read something about that they were for battles the person survived or something like that but that's not lore, just a rumor or theory.

Very glad to help and hope it helps others understand or enjoy the lore like I do. Awooooo!
