The Black Watch Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hi, I am currently converting a Rhino for my Sternguard and I want to make a basic Crux shape out of plasticard for the top hatch. But I can't find one anywhere! I've scoured the internet for hours and can't find a decent image. Its only for tracing so doesn't have to be detailed. If anyone has seen that picture in the old codex of the entire Ultramarines chapter, they had a few Rhino's at the front with the Veteran symbol on. If anyone had a good copy I'd really appreciate it. Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212060-veteran-company-heraldry/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Best thing to do is to construct the crux from primitives - essentially 4 sectionsof a circle for the sides of the cross sections and then flat ends t cap them. The alternative is to have a square with rally just very thin sections cut out at 45 degree angles from the corners, to give a simpler version of teh shape, not the curved version I would draw on a piece of paper, and first describe a square section of the right size, draw the principal axes of the square (lines through the centre of each side...) and describe a circle from the centre of the square with a radius equal to the length of the square sides.. Using the compass set to a slightly smaller radius, at each point where the above circle hit the principal axes of the square, describe an arc in the square - the sides of the crux elements. Square off the edges and there you have it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212060-veteran-company-heraldry/#findComment-2523130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Watch Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Yeah, I was hoping on not relying on my drawing skills but I may have to! Thanks.

Hemal Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Its not really drawing its geometry. Draw a square using a ruler and ste square, lines through the square using a ruler, circles using a compass etc Yoou could even do the same using MS Office Draw packages - I did a partial version in Excel, not too bad...

ShinyRhino Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Do a Google Image Search for 'crux terminatus'. You'll get 3-4 usable examples on the first page alone.

The Black Watch Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Thanks, I've tried that and the images are too detailed and chunky. Its really only for an outline - I just want the symbol on the top hatch of the Rhino similar to Tactical/Assault/Dev. I have managed some success at creating one in Word.
