So I was looking for an Eldar Craftworld to be the place of origin for my traitorous Wraithlord that's soon to be joining my Dark Eldar. I wanted to pick a symbol based solely on the aesthetic.

On the transfer sheet, there's a symbol that looks like a heart wrapped in barbed wire. Is that a variant on the Biel-Tan symbol? A generic symbol with no meaning behind it? Something else? I'd really like to use it, but I want to know any applicable background behind it.

That's a Biel-Tan motif (thorns are often seen on Biel-Tan vehicles for example).

Yeah, it's ONE of the designs used by Biel-Tan. The heart and thorns. There are several variations on a theme for each of them, from memory.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Huh. I didn't know that. Have to research Biel-Tan some more.
