Egil's Banner is the Iron Wolf rampant on a black field edged in Iron. It bears the Runes 'Opila' meaning heritage estate and possession and 'Hagalaz' which attributes honour or means hail. Hence a rough translation from the Eldar Furthark (or Proto-Norse) runes should identify the bearer of the runes as having great possession and material wealth either which gives him much honour, or he should be awarded much honour for it. The full heraldry is displayed on a banner in the red of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. The bottom of the banner shows from left to right; a [[Wolf Guard]] honour marking of a paw print in a diamond shape displayed over runic liturgy, the silhouette of the hunter (a wolfs head face on), and and honour marking of a wolf skull with an Astartes combat knife run through it with runic script above. {{Fn|1f}}
==Ironguard==
Egil was often followed into battle by his most favoured [[Champion]]s the Ironguard. With many boasting cybernetic enhancements and mechanical prostheses beneath their power armour, the Ironguard could fight on through the most grievous of wounds.
