How to make the 'great company' army symbol..?

Recommended Posts

As I'm working on different schemes for my next attempt at my Space Wolves, I considered using the Great Company symbol, but of course there's no decal!

 

Does anyone have any ideas the best way to do this? Or am I looking at hand painting them all?

 

For right now I am using Herald Deathwolf's company. I use a basic deep red, and I take the symbol from Grimnar's original company since it is fairly close. I may stick to that but I'm just wondering what you guys have done.

I have two of the Forgeworld transfer sheets . I've used all of the ones for Logan's "The Wolf That Stalks The Stars", but if you can point out to me which transfers you'd need, I'd be more than happy to send them your way (as I'm literally never going to use the rest of it).

 

Bear in mind there are only 21 infantry sized transfers and 5 terminator sized transfers per Great Company per sheet, so at most I would only have enough for 42 infantry and 10 terminators.

Thanks, I may take you up on that and maybe I can return the favour when I order some new sheets...

 

What I can't tell though is if Harald Deathwolf's symbol is in there.. it's kind of tiny... is it there?

 

My other consideration was Bran Redmaw but I can definitely see his...

You can always try freehanding them, there is an old thread where a brother (Forgive me for not remembering who right now) has done some tutorials for freehanding many of the Great Company markings.

 

With some practise one can make rather good marks oneself, although I admit it can be very hard on PA shoulder plates.

I did find a tutorial on the BnC on doing a few of the markings, and while they're great, I find it's just too time consuming. I would really rather spend that time painting the figs, and not the symbols....

 

I think DV8 is right though, Herald Deathwolf's symbol does seem to be on the newer Forgeworld decal sheet.

I know this is cheeky but do you have the Bran Redmaw ones going?

 

I'm in the UK though. If there's bits your after I'll be happy to see if I have them and swap (no missile launchers before you ask).

I use a vinyl cutter at work so i make al my symbols out of vinyl car stikkers =P

 

This only works in one colour designs and it doesnt get to be to detailed, but it works great, i have over a 300 company symbols and GH, longfang, BC and wolfguard symbols :D

Got any examples? Be interesting to see.

I have a small red claw for my bloodclaws that you can just about see in this pic in front of the landraider, the one with the black hair and the powerfist
