Squad Markings Blood Angels

[TrentL]

I can see on page 71 of the Codex where it has the squad markings (White skull black background, white skull blue background etc) for squads 1-10 of a company.

 

I've started mainly on focusing on 2nd Company because I have so many Decal sheets.

 

We know 2nd company has:

 

6 Tactical

2 Assault

2 Devastator

3 Dreadnoughts

 

Does that mean:

Squad 1 - Tactical (Skull black background)

Squad 2 - Tactical (Skull blue background)

Squad 3 - Tactical (Red Blood drop yellow background)

Squad 4 - Tactical (Red Blood drop black background)

Squad 5 - Tactical (white X black background)

Squad 6 - Tactical (White X blue background)

Squad 7 - Assault (Yellow lightning bolt black background)

Squad 8 - Assault (Black lightning bolt yellow background)

Squad 9 - Devastator (Yellow Wing black background)

Squad 10 - Devastator (Black wing yellow background)

 

Also for Honor guard is all of their left shoulders Terminator Honors pads? I want to make a squad of 10 Vanguard and 10 sternguard and 1 honor guard, but how do I know which Squad marking to use for the Vanguard and Sternguard? While I know its "My army" I want to remain loyal to the fluff as much as possible.

I thinks its white skull for vets black skull for honor guard

[Brother Jim]

Yeah, if I recall correctly my vets have white skulls on their right shoulder pad, while the honor guard have black skulls...

[Leonaides]

not to forget that your van and sternguard will also need a kneepad squad icon... So will duplicate that of a couple of the squads in your battle company. While perhaps the honour guard might have a company icon instead of the normal squads 1-10 style? Maybe a simplified version of the banner?

[TrentL]

Yeah I doubt I'm going to have enough to make 100 1st Company so I'll probably try the skulls or something.

 

My Honor guard I can try and pick legs that have things on the knee's (Death Company Legs)

 

So nobody knows which squads are Tactical or Assault or Devastator?

[vharing]

every company has the same set of markings so for your vets just give them the skull shoulder pads and then whatever squad marking you want for their knee pads. I have kind of run into the same thing with my army as well. I am making the 3rd company but still want to give my vets squads markings as well

I think that you got the distribution of squads and their markings correct in your initial post. 1-6 are tacticals, 7-8 assault, 9-10 devastators. :P

[BrotherMoses]

Brother Jim, through gripped of the black rage as he is in his avatar, is correct. The squad markings are listed in the appropriate order.
