Bomma Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Problem - 32 Khorne Berzerkers.. How to mark each 8 man group? Ive looked at marking the base or under the base and it doesn't quite appeal. Anyone got any snazy ideas on how to mark them on the model? I was thinking perhaps some kind of icon or numeral on the chapter badge (they all have GW World Eater shoulder pads) maybe through the world in the middle? What marking would I use? Battled finding anything on the intrawebz. Thanks in advance. B. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177100-squad-identification/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Knee pad or boot are also good contenders for squad markings. Or do it by colors. Like give one silver trim on a shoulder, the next gold, and the last bronze?

chillin Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 There are @ 4 or 5 different chest plates, the brzrkrs have, could group them by that. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177100-squad-identification/#findComment-2094007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
courage&honor Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Dumb question...why do they need to have squads? My zerkers are frothing mad men, they care not for squads merely who managed to catch the rhino before it left without them. As long as there is one p fist champ in each squad they fight however they come out of the army bag.

chillin Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Dumb question...why do they need to have squads? For when there is a combat involving multiple squads it helps for wound allotcation, removing models etc, to know what models belong to what unit. It doesn't matter if your brzrkrs "care not", it's about game mechinics.

Rain Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I would use numbers or color coded blotches on the bottoms of the bases as I don't see berzerkers as being orderly enough to go "Alright, Bonechewer, Gutspiller, and Facebasher, make sure your suits are nice and coordinated and go in the Archbutcher's rhino and umm sorry Frank but you gotta ride with Khârn."

Mutt-Man! Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Paint rings on the bases. Or have your own code markings like a black mark of khorne, red mark of khorne, brass mark of khorne and so on. Yellow and Silver also decent with most World Eater schemes, and if you go pre-heresy its easier with the blue and white.

chillin Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I would use numbers or color coded blotches on the bottoms of the bases Then you have to try and pick up a model out of a crowed melee, snagging chainaxes and knocking 1/2 the models over to find out what squad he belongs to. If the OP thinks the chestplate thing looks to orgainized for brzrkrs he could do 1 shoulder pad all the same in each squad as there are 4-5 different ones of those too. I also like Mutt's idea of different colored khorne markings.

Brother Amarel Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Paint the Worlds on the shoulder pads different colours for each unit? Earth-type blue and green pattern, Mars-type red and orange, Venus-type purple and blue stripes, etc?
