Honda Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 To keep things brief and to the point: 1. I'm working on some fluff associated with FW's IA3 - The Taros Campaign 2. If you are familiar with the book, then you'll know it was not the Imperium's finest hour 3. What I am exploring is the consequences of the campaign So that being said, formations involved at Taros could have a certain stigma attached to them because of their failures. I've generally arrived at the phrase, "mortis stigmata", which I think could be generally translated to "death mark". So the purpose of the Mortis Stigmata, is denote penance or shame. It would be a bad worn by formations who have failed and are engaged in operations to regain their honor. So what I am wondering is what should this painted device look like? So far I've come up with only a few ideas, none of which really blows up my kilt: a. Black Heart with a blood red "T" in the middle b. Same as above, but with a dagger through the heart The key is that it has to be simple and clean enough that it can be painted on multiple surfaces. Things like vehicles, shoulder pads, knee pads, chest armor, weapons, etc. Anyway, there are some extremely creative minds on this board and I thought I'd ask for help. Thanx in advance!

Captain Juan Juarez Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 2. If you are familiar with the book, then you'll know it was not the Imperium's finest hour Dammit! You've ruined the ending! :P I've never quite finished it, because I got distract by ImpArm 4. I don't recall one, but is there no campaign badge listed in the book?

Honda Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 There is a "Taros" campaign badge, but this device would post date the Taros campaign. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/196816-building-some-back-story/#findComment-2345432 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe think about an addition to the badge or changing colours to make it a mark of shame?

Marshal Rohr Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 As far as I am aware, only the Avenging Sons and Raptors participated, and only the AS were 'defeated' tactically by a larger force with more support.

Correct, with the Avenging Sons the first deployment to the world of the Astartes.
