Brother Captain Kezef Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Way back in the olden days (2nd edition) Bloodangels had squad leaders. No special rules just a painting thing mostly, hehad the black pads and yellow chapter symbol the sergeant had and would lead the secnd hal of the combat squad. oes anybody still have a squad leader painted up in their ten man squads these days?

Gondow Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 No but I think I will paint some! As I run Flesh tearers I think a white trim on the shoulders should do the trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodunius Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 No but I think I will paint some! Ditto! One thing that always irked me about them was that their armour markings were IDENTICAL to Sergeants - it was the colour of the banners that denoted the difference and I always found that kindof lacking, one answer to that however would be to give sergeants & squad leaders their codex squad marking in addition to the black pads (there is some precedent for this: the 1st edition scout sergeant had the inverted pad of a blood angel sergeant with the then codex scout squad marking on the other), and the codex rank emblem for a squad leader was the Iron Halo - for which the two of the heads and one of the backpacks from the Death Company box are PERFECT.

Leonaides Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 All my squads get one - given that all my squads are 10-man, it allows me to combat squad them 'properly'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sviox Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 oes anybody still have a squad leader painted up in their ten man squads these days? All my squads are painted this way. Some squad leaders even have a red squad flag above their backpack :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yep, all my squads have sergeants and squad leaders, with appropriate banners. I may even mark half the squads differently so you can easily tell which ones are combatted. Makes the combat squads look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Teeth Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Since I'm just painting up my new BA force, I had a think about this. I have assembled my Sergeant and Squad Leader with banners and will paint them appropriately ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I used to have the squad leader and Sarge both with the black pads and a banner each. I however no longer do this and have gotten rid of all the squads modeled like this. I much prefer the grittier cleaner more unified look. I do however make my Sargents look far more ornate than the rest of the squad (I also spend far to many point upgrading them). I do have one model a squad though that has something unique about him. It could be a pose or a different looking bit of kit. It's just incase I run a cut down barebones squad, so I can tell apart the Sarge from the rest.
