Sorry I dot think I'm going to be very helpful but first I'd like to say I love that you are putting this much thought and effort into fluffing out your army build. It's one of the true joys of the hobby to me.

Second. I have no idea about numbering vehicles in space wolves but I feel if you went the German route you would end up very similar to the guard regimens and that would feel wrong yo me. Love the idea of using fenrisian runes. I personally always imagined the space wolves would give their vehicles grand names rather than numbers and treat them as individuals. No evidence of this, I know named space marine vehicles are common but it's always nick names. Vikings names everything and treated them as though they were living, swords boats the lot.

Anyway, as I said not very helpful but good work and good luck. Would love to see some pics of finished army.

Well you've piqued my interest so I'll do some digging too. Got some very old books going back to first edition. I'll have a foot about.
Is an army ever finished? We all know the answer to that question.

Don't think you'll get a definitive answer but a quick rummage I've found these snippets. First is very old school and just for interest. Think it's from an old epic article from way back when.

Next up is from death from the skies I think and holds the better answer, to me anyway but it's very much personal choice. It suggests pack markings and names then numbers to identify vehicles in the pack (squadron). So you would have great company badge, pack badge and a single number.

I think it's from there I don't have a copy anymore. I like the idea of three predators having a pack name and a close bond. Fits the brothers in arms style of the space wolves. Take it you aren't going either the big weird letters in the roof option then!

Sounds great mate. That is a lot of tanks. And stuff. Good luck. Keep us posted.
