Company Banners

Recommended Posts

I've been doing some searching a research and come up with some ideas for a banner for most of the companies. Let me know what you think.

 

(By the way I know the quality is bad; my computer skills are nigh-on non-existent and I was using paint)

 

1st company banner

2nd company banner is going to be the one in the codex.

 

 

3rd company banner

4th company banner

5th company banner

6th company banner

http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/6thcompanybanner.jpg

 

7th company banner

http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/7thcompanybanner.jpg

 

8th company banner

9th company banner

Any criticism or ideas will be much appreciated.

 

Cheers

The two known canon company heraldries (2nd & 3rd) correspond with the vanilla company heraldries, if the rest followed suit the spread would be something like this:

I think 4 companies with wings and swords is a bit much, I'd go with one winged sword, one winged spear (love that) and one winged skull - of which I'd give the first two to the 7th and 8th companies (possibly the other way round). 5th company I'd have with a daemon skull with a sword through it.

oops, hadn't realised i had 4 companies with winged swords.

 

Thanks for the different colour patterns. It gives me something more to work with.

 

what would you suggest for 6th company symbol. This is the company I had the most difficulty with. Their nickname is 'eternals'. (I actually don't like the banner, but it all I could think of)

 

The bat for 5th company is in lieu of demons.

we have the 3rd co bannder too, its right beside the second in the codex.

 

Yes, but the 3rd is Captain tycho's heraldry. hence I'll be using his banner if I'm fielding him, however, when I'm not I'd like something that is representative of the company's nickname.

 

and wee kinds know the 4th as its moriars but with the black yellow instead...

 

Interesting thought about that, will try and think up something to do with it. Wasn't Moriar's heraldry a skulled cup?

What are we, Night Lords now? We're Angels! Not bats, or vampires. Needless to say I'm not a fan of this one in particular.

Though the second company banner strikes me as looking.... weird.

The bat is to represent darkness and all things chaos. I realise it might not be very obvious but the sword is piercing the bat.

 

I'm preparing some new drafts for some of the banners.

Here are a few redrafts:

 

I've taken Brother Nathan's advice and am sticking to the 3rd company's banner in the dex.

When making my sergeant's banners for the second company I've tended to make them look like a smaller representation of the company banner. It represents their squad with the icon, and company with a numeral (which I'm considering changing to the company marking, in this case the yellow blood drop). For instance Sergeant Raphael here is the squad sergeant of 6th squad, second company. I've also used his personal heraldry for his tabbard. Pretty sure I've added a yellow blood drop to it since this picture's been taken as well.
