Raptor Imperialis
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Raptor Imperialis was the early symbol of the Emperor and his fledgling Imperium during the Great Crusade. It was used as a badge of the Thunder Warriors, but over time was adopted by other armies such as the Solar Auxilia.[3]
Eventually, as the Great Crusade wore on, the Raptor Imperialis became a special badge indicating that its owner fought alongside the Emperor Himself. Sigismund, First Captain of the Imperial Fists Legion, bore it on the knee of his heavily-modified Mk II Power Armour.[1] The Space Wolves Consul-Opsequiari disciplinary officers wore the Raptor Imperialis on their armour as symbol of their authority.[4]
