captain maleck Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 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 http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/1stcompanybanner.jpg 2nd company banner is going to be the one in the codex. 3rd company banner http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/3rdcompanyBanner.jpg 4th company banner http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/4thcompanybanner.jpg 5th company banner http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/5thcompanybanner.jpg 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 http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/8thcompanybanner.jpg 9th company banner http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/9thcompanybanner.jpg Any criticism or ideas will be much appreciated.

Vodunius Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 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: http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r155/khromash/compheral.jpgleft to right: 1-9 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.

Brother Nathan Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 we have the 3rd co bannder too, its right beside the second in the codex. and wee kinds know the 4th as its moriars but with the black yellow instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain maleck Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain maleck Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain maleck Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 I hadn't realised I'd done this until I put them all together, but I've given a shield to all of the reserve company banners. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 moriar had skull cup and 3 blood drops with a red cross background(though that may be to do with him being in the dc now.) and though its tychos heraldry its also on the 3rd co banner as is as official a banner as the 2nd co...

captain maleck Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 and though its tychos heraldry its also on the 3rd co banner as is as official a banner as the 2nd co... Ok, fair dos, I just have a bit of a qualm to do with the bloody wing symbol. I just don't think it has a lot to do with the nickname of the company-'ironhelms' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 fair does, but it may be linked that the company master is master of sacrifices(iirc..) wouldnt want to paint a winged helm though. i just gave the compan master an iron coloured helm...

SeraphimDeSanguinius Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 5th company bannerhttp://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/5thcompanybanner.jpg Any criticism or ideas will be much appreciated. Cheers Captain Maleck For the Emperor and Sanguinius 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Captain Maleck For the Emperor and Sanguinius What are we, Night Lords now? We're Angels! Not bats, or vampires. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain maleck Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Here are a few redrafts: I've taken Brother Nathan's advice and am sticking to the 3rd company's banner in the dex. 5th company banner http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/5thcompanybanner-1.jpg 6th company banner http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/6thcompanybanner-1.gif 8th company banner http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/8thcompanybanner-1.gif 9th company banner http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g405/Edward_Horsman/9thcompanybanner-1.gif same as before, any thoughts are much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 all the wings just make me think emperors childern to be honest. also why no blood drops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losfer Werds Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 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. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j260/LosferWerds/1214001227.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
