ChaplainMathreyn Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Type in 'Sunflare' under Google Images... Something stylized like that'd be cool... I think.

Wait, we have a symbol for that? :wacko: I mean, all praise to the great Emperor. :lol: Yeah. That's a pretty neat badge. You could always stick a red sun behind it, too, if you wanted.

Grey Hunter Ydalir Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Yeah. That's a pretty neat badge. You could always stick a red sun behind it, too, if you wanted. Indeed, I think something representative of the chapters biggest influence would be good. The cross, while a nice cross, is still just a cross. I'll assume that the homeworld and it's desert are the largest cultural influence on the chapter.

Marcus Laridius Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 This is what I'll do, a red sun in the background and the Black cross in the center. Then again, I could just do the red sun. I'm just having trouble making it right now.

Myxx Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I'm working on a DIY and have been having trouble with a design. One suggestion I would offer is to actually grab a shoulder pad and try to paint it if you like the idea. It'll give you an idea of how much work you're looking at to paint all those pads (plus drop pods, rhinos, etc).

Marcus Laridius Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 What i'm kind of worried about now is putting sand on the stands for the marines and vehicles. I know how the sun is gonna look. I just need another kit of marines, my first i failed with by not using primer.

Marcus Laridius Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 http://s3.amazonaws.com/pixmac-preview/tribal-sun-tattoo-1.jpg this will be the design i'm using. Just without the thorns on the side of the flares.

Myxx Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 If you don't like the way the first batch turned out, you can strip the paint off and start again. I have a squad that is on its 3rd paint job.

Grey Hunter Ydalir Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 That symbol is remarkably close to the one that was created for my Blazing Sons. I wish I'd found the picture you did because it would have made explaining what I wanted to the person who drew it much, much easier. ;) As an aside, this isnt PC&A, this is the Liber. Ergo, was there any more fluff on your chapter that you were going to post?

Ekim_Trub Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 What about combining two elements to make the symbol? I reckon stick with the sun to represent the desert, but maybe add either a bow or spear in somehow to show the hunter side of things?? I visualise a red sun in the centre with a simple spear icon coming diagonally down through it. But thats just my opinion.
