How many crimson fists does a Crimson Fist have?

[Lestat]

Howdy folks,

Just been looking at some reference material for Crimson Fists and ended up being slightly confused and am therefore seeking the advice of the good folks of B&C before I set out painting any CF's.

It is my understanding that the standard CF Marine - be it tactical, devastator etc - all have thier left fist painted crimson and that veterans have both fists painted.

After flicking through C:SM I noticed that on page 118 that the scout pictured there has 2 crimson fists. Is this a faux pas on GW's part or should all CF's have 2 painted fists?

 

Thanks,

Lestat

As I understood it, rank and file Marines have 1 fist red, Veterans and officers have both red. Not sure how the scout fits into that - wasn't the sergeant was it?

Its a screw up, either its meant to be the sergeant and the editor didn't label it as such, or else the painter screwed up - just like the painter who did the 2nd Company Eagle Warrior Sternguard, 2nd Company Red Templar Vanguard and 2nd Company Iron Lord Terminator on the preceding pages.

Thought it was a mistake - just wanted to make I hadn't missed something though.

 

Thanks for the replies.
