Walls Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I have some very weird shoulder pads on random chaos marines I picked up a while ago. I tried to take a picture but cannot seem to get one good enough that you can tell what it is. Anyhow, it's a fish with big teeth. Tail on the bottom and then curls up counter clockwise so that the mouth is opened to the left if you were looking at it. NO CLUE what this is and any help would be awesome!

Jamafore Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Sounds like a variant Space Sharks (Carcharodons, I prefer the Sharks name meself) emblem to me, you might start there Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251809-help-identifying-weird-chaos-shoulder-pads/#findComment-3053603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Sounds like one of the old Chaos shoulder pads. Is it this one? http://www.corngolem.com/albums/Chaos-Shoulder-Pads/aaa.jpg It's a Tzeentch variant pad – the twisted fish/bird is a common variant of the rune.

Walls Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Those are indeed the ones. How strange though, a fish for Tzeentch? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251809-help-identifying-weird-chaos-shoulder-pads/#findComment-3053830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofus Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Its more than just a Tzeentch variant pad, that is the old Thousand Sons legion badge. I do find it an odd symbol with their heavy Egyptian them, maybe some of the more versed in the Thousand Sons background can explain it.

GhostLegion Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 its a disfigurement of the classic symbol of a snake eating its tail. thats all it is. you see the serpent eating its tail in multiple places relating to thousand sons, this is just a twisted version of it... see This for more on the symbol...though this isnt the 40k-ized version mind...
