What was their legion symbol pre-heresy?

I've seen a couple of variants so far, one that is a red outline and another that is similar to Ragnar's company but red.

Apparently each Great Company had their own symbol, each a variant of the wolf thing (according to Lexicanum). Kind of like how the different Chapters from the Word Bearers each have their own organisation, symbols and tactics.

Technically there is no chapter badge for space wolves in regular 40k. As Malika mentioned the Space Wolf Wolf Lords adopt their own 'company badge'.

The badge with the most influence is that of the Great Wolf. When a Great Wolf is selected from the Wolf Lords to lead the chapter he abandons his badge and takes up of Leman Russ' personal badge.

Russ' (aka The Great Wolf's badge is shown here (on the left hand side of the drawing (the wolf rampant within a ellow diamond)



I use this as my main badge for my Company. It is the old Rogue Trader smbol for the Space Wolves

I have both on my Fellblade



Hope this help.

Cheers for the help guys it's appreciated.

I might just use the yellow and red RT era symbol. My guys date back to the time before Russ so a unified badge is probably what they used. The company badge probably was a fenrisian influence with the introduction of Russ to the Legion but I can't really find anything that supports this idea other than the IA article.

The Space Wolves are kind of odd since its...well a big coincident, Russ has certain canine traits, so the Terran Space Wolves might have some of these influences as well. Then he lands on a world which is already feral and inhabited by giant wolves. Russ gets raised by wolves, is all wolf like, on Terra there is a Legion called the Space Wolves.

Maybe Im reading too deep into this...
