baldur27 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I was wondering how you guys designate your sergeants? as I can find no official standardized way to do so, other chapters go with different helmet colors (codex compliant) or shoulder pads (blood angels) so how do you guys do it?

Aspiringchaoschampion Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I havent come up with a way yet but i might give then a black stripe on the head or give them hooded heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ciaphas Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hail! I do mine in the "only correct, and Codex certified manner" possible. Any other designation not in compliance with my method is wrong ;-) (j/k) My sergeants have all been given the "shoot me! I am wearing a banner!", as I think it looks exceedingly cool and entirely gothic...if impractical! I love it! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Master_Ciaphas/5th6thSquadSergeantsDark.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Master_Ciaphas/dd149cc2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Master_Ciaphas/VeteranSergeantRaziel.jpg Regards, Master Ciaphas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Sheol Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 All my sergeants have robes... In fact only my sergeants and characters wear them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldur27 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 I was thinking of going real subtle and putting a red skull on the right knee pad but that may be too subtle. I'll try a test model and some point and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucien Eilam Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Dark Angels don't use Sergeant markings. Many Studio Sergeants are only distinguished by equipment, but a back banner and/or robes is also typical. The Iron Skull honour badge somewhere on their armour would also be appropriate.

ZONKEY Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have seen white stripes on the helms or maybe a tabbard like the dark vengeance Sarges, or a robbed head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarFromSam Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I like to use bone stripes or bone colored helmets, and a back banner. If the sarg is in robes and hooded (as most of my army is) I'll do a embroidery, or pattern on his hood see asmodai and replace green and white for bone and black.

I was asking the same question too, what should I do for sargeants. This answers the question quite clearly. Thanks! Epher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Lucifer Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 All I can say is that my sergeants don't look like a normal tactical squad guy. They will always have something that sets them apart. Master Ciaphas wins, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varizel Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 My sarge if veteran will be wearing robes... and if it's not veteran, will always have the Mk VIII errant armorish body, complete with the helmet if they have it, or bareheaded if not. That helmet looked different from normal ones. Used to also run them with studded shoulder pads instead of squad designation, but i need those pads for my veterans, so now they got the normal squad designation pads. Would've done the banners back then, but transporting (took 2 spaces instead of 1 for models) was a pain so the idea got ditched :D. The only one that doesn't get the Mk VIII errant armor would be the sarge for devastators. They got the busy looking backpack from the devs kit instead. For assault marine, I don't have a non veteran sarge. My 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZONKEY Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 A long while a go I used to use the crux terminatus to separate my sarge (none DA army), but I think that's not applicable with DA sarges Would it be ok to use modified templar tabards for Sarges if they none veteran?

Isiah Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 @ ZONKEY why not? Whatever works and looks good. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Zonkey, I see no issue with using the Crux Terminatus on a power armoured sergeant. He might previously have served in the 1st company before his current position, or maybe he's been awarded the CT for some act of heroism but has not yet met all of the other requirements for joining the Deathwing. Also, Isiah's right. All my tactical and devastator sergeants have the banner with company and squad identifier, as per Codex: Angels of Death. Anything else is heresy. One assault squad sergeant has a chapter icon on his jump pack as well as a power sword, combat shield and robe. He's quite distinctive. The other has a mohawk, power fist and huge knife. Scout sergeants are a bit bigger than the rest of their squad and/or armed differently. I'm slowly magnetising the backpacks with the banners on and replacing the sergeants' right shoulder pads with personal heraldry so I'll have a larger pool of sergeant models to choose from (some could double as company veterans) and can move them between squads.

Brother Turok Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 All of my sergeants have full robes or partial robes to keep in line with the old fluff that veteran sergeants were inducted into the Deathwing (good old third edition). I also am a fan of banners. I used to think the banners were ridiculous from a military standpoint (makes one a bigger target). Then I realized that the imperial fists are bright freaking yellow, blood angels are bright red, noise marines are hot pink, etc.... so at the end of the day marines are not trying to hide or blend in!

Dark_Master Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 All of my sgt's have a back DA symbol of some sort http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b606/Dark_master1/E83943A8-799F-48B6-BBF7-9FE95EA58CBE-6810-0000078DF065A736_zps5ab1fa88.jpg DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epher Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Don't forget your Devastator Sargeants with a signum and tabbard... for non veteran types. I finangled a signum from a hunter/killer missile (finally found a use for one) and an antenna from a regular space marine bike. Of coruse, this is still a work in progress.

Interrogator Stobz Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 All my Sgts and Vets are robed and none of my line troops are. Sgts all wear the Crux whilst the Vets get the personal heraldry pads. That is for visual reference on the table, I fluff justify it by saying that the Sgts have the proven strength of mind to steer a squad in the Hunt without divulging the critical information to the troops under their command. That is just the way I have done it and I know it's a mishmash of the fluff over the editions but that's one of the beauties of the game, personalisation. Liking the homemade signum :tu: BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 What about keeping all sargeants un-helemeted as a mark of their indestructibility ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epher Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 This guy is going to be the sargeant of a plasma party devastator squad. A helmet might be the only way this guy makes it to veteran with all his troops burning up around him. Then again, he has a plasma pistol... The power armour may not be enough to save him let alone a helmet. Thanks for the comps on the signum, the back of it turned out pretty good too. There is more bits from the missile launcher. I'll post more in my thread when I get the model done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 All of the Stoneburners sergeants are either marked with a bone colored stripe on a black helm because they are marked for possible induction into the Deathwalkers (1st Company), or they will have the full bone helm of a member of the Deathwalkers (possibly with the blood red stripe of a Deathwalker sergeant, if they held that rank).
