WeaponAdept Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hey my Crimson Hammers need a chapter badge. I'm not sure how to do it simply, effectivly and most importantly; not boring. Help? :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237555-its-hammer-time/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacinda Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Decal paper and a mjolnir? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/Mjolnir_metallic_2.PNG You might get mistaken as a SW successor chapter tho.

Durus Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 What kind of symbol should it be? What is it supposed to say about your marines? Some variations of the usual stuff might work: Gauntlet holding hammer Hammer in flames Hammer inside of comet Hammer over crossed lightning bolts Hammer on anvil (like here) Hammer with a halo Hammer in circle Hammers crossed Hammer crossed with another symbol of significance (tongs, key?) Hammer on shield Hammer behind skull Hammer with wings Hammer with one wing (like here) Most of these will be easy to paint. Just break down the general shape into squares, triangles or circles and find a comfortable way to construct it from these. The usual tips for freehands apply: practice on paper, little helping lines or dots (for your crosses, sqares etc.) help a lot, cleaning the lines up afterwards will make it look nicer. I have a marine with a hammer symbol on his shoulder on my painting table right know myself. :blink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237555-its-hammer-time/#findComment-2865309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeaponAdept Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 The dwarf shields are great I really appreciate that link. Also you listed hammer and tongs which gave me another idea. I wear this symbol with my rank hammer and tongs I have painted a Mjolnir on my termie banner but it wasn't quite right. They're a Crimson Fists successor (at the moment) so I may try a hammer in a fist. Guess I'll just do a load of shoulder pads and try em all out :-) Thanks again for the loan of your imagination.
