exinfris001 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm looking to add personal heraldry to a few marines but cannot seem to find any tutorials and such. Been searching Google but can only find fantasy or historical heraldry, nothing concerning 40k. Anyone know of any tutorials or good examples out there?

Grand Master Belial Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I actually used the historical heraldry to help me develop mine. To add some 40k flair you can add skulls, bolters or some of the established chapter badges and symbols.

exinfris001 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks, I was just hoping someone had some examples of stuff I could use as a guide.

GrandMagnus Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Well here are some examples for you brother: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/c/c6/Grey_Knights_-_Examples_of_Personal_Heraldry.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110730025426 These grey knight heraldic patterns are a good example, you can alternate the colours and add some new symbols (wings for DA, blood/chalices for BA, Ultima symbol for UM, fists for IF, lightning bolts for WS, etc.). Here are some cool RT era examples: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i212/rrchristensen/RT_SWBadges.jpg Me personally I prefer to add heraldry to my veterans and officers, as a sign of rank. I would leave the average-joe marines without heraldry.

exinfris001 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Thanks GrandMagnus. I'm adding them to all the Marines, as the fluff behind them is that they are similar to the Deathwatch. They are made up of many different chapters working for the Inquisition. As these marines will never return to their original chapters, they are allowed each to wear personal heraldry as a reward and a record of their sacrifice. Most will be very simple, Vet's, Sergeants, and such will have more elaborate heraldry.

Durus Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Here's a Dark Angels army where Master Toddius customized each marine's chapter symbol to give them more personality. The WIP thread has more pics. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306563-personal-heraldry-for-marines/#findComment-4021807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
