Hi all,
I have been adding decals to my world eaters and I know what most of them are for but I can't figure out what this one is:
Any ideas?

“Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls.
The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does.
That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."

Destroyers.
I think it's meant to be a stylized version of the nuclear symbol.

No problem.
The thing that puzzled me about that sheet was the two types of tactical symbols. I worked out my own logic for it -- bolter guys get one type, straight bolt pistol/chainaxe Despoilers get another -- but could never figure out what was intended by FW.
I guess we'll get getting our new sheet fairly soon, since it's sold out?

I have been wondering about the two different tactical symbols too. I figured it didn't really matter which one they have and maybe it was the marine's personal preference as to which one he went with. Didn't even think that one would be for bolter marines and one would be for despoiler marines  have a mix of the two on my tactical marines. They all have bolters and extra CC weapons anyway so I don't suppose it matters too much.
I've noticed it's been "no longer available" for a while now. Looking forward to seeing what the new one will look like. If it's anything like the other transfer sheets we're in for a treat.

It seems World Eater-y for a detail like that not to matter much. Functionality over uniformity or fanciness.
Yeah, I'm anxious for the new sheet. With the old sheet I feel like I have more than enough WE symbols for all the infantry I'll ever field, but it's a little short on certain squad symbols, especially if you prefer white or red or vice versa. I'm hoping this one comes with a better ratio.

I'd like some of the legion symbols and war hound symbols to be in white too so i could do a squad with red, a squad with white, and a squad with gold to help distinguish between them on the battle field. But, I suppose the world eaters wouldn't really be that bothered about which squad they are in.
