templarboy Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 WYSIWYG is important to me. How do I model personal icons? What the heck are they supposed to be anyway? I find the CSM Codex is full of stuff that is hard to define. *cringes waiting for Brother Nihm to show me 500 searchy links* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 There is a million and one ways to make a Personal Icon. I have seen anything from Greenstuff symbols, giant banners, to having pieces on the model - like a glove - count as a Personal Icon. Maybe you can find some inspiration here (you will have to make do with but a few Searchy Links :mellow:): http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...t&p=1497088 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...p;#entry1443728 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...t&p=2235316 (left guy with his back turned) http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...t&p=2224283 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffy.Gee Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 The little skull in the chaos star makes an excellant personal icon. Drill a 2mm hole in the top of your hqs backpack and glue it in. The awesome thing is if you decide not to use a personal icon in a game it can be there for purely decorative purposes. I mean this bit by the way. http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/images/chaos_spac..._2007_large.jpg JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
