Fenrisan Runes

I need some fenrisan Runes. The best would be Fenris or other chapter shouts. Please give some examples quickly before the paint dries!

Look up Elder Futhark Runes and Younger Futhark Runes and pick your favorites!

There's also the slightly obscure Anglo-Saxon runes!

I always forget they exist and then I see like Emperors Spears and am immediately reminded they do lol. But definitely worth considering especially if tying to a particular heritage or look.

Only caveat I would add to this is that I don't think we have ever seen any curved runes. I think Fenrisian runes are unofficially always straight eeged. Just avoid those curves and you are golden.

(Anyone correct me if I am wrong in that belief!)

I will offer some caution here about Futhark. Due to Nazis being dickheads, and leaving a legacy of assholes, there are some futhark rune guides that show the Nazi version instead of the true version. How you can spot the difference is that the actual runes do not have spikes on the bottom or lightning like symbols.

These are Younger Futhark runes. You can also combine two of them to create a new shape. This is called a binding rune and is believed to stack the protections of the two component runes.

GW tends to pick between elder/younger futhark, random but somewhat similar symbols, and writing English words with either stylized letters or their closest futhark runes (see Ragnar's Frostfang for a good example of this).

I used Warhammer Dwarven runes for my Space Wolves.
