Doctor Perils Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) I also prefer this "Taiji" as an emblem. How about a chinese sword sticking through the middle ? However, the "Qilin" could feature prominently in their iconography (Legion Banners for instance) @Slipstreams ? How about a dual version of the helix, in a cross ? Or else a stylised version of the Caduceus, only using a sword instead of the sceptre ? (Or a rod of Asclepius) For the Nightguard, what about a variation of the Inquisitorial I/eye, that has "rays of light" coming from it, as if the =][= were a lantern ? Or is that too cheesy/green lantern-esque ? Edited March 31, 2016 by Lord Thørn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Though of that but was thinking it would step on the generic Apothecary Symbol a bit. If you can roll with the cross idea and make it suitably unique, I'm allllll for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Captain Redd Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I'll have the Bears icons up as soon as I can get some time at my computer. I've got them mostly done but they're all PDF's as right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Squig Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Skal has reminded me through the Grave Stalkers thread that the Godslayers still lack a symbol. I for one have been struggling with that problem since the legion's inception, and I took heavy cajoling to even come up with a name for them. So, seeing as I'm lost, I wanted to open the question up to you guys. Fire away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikhalLeNoir Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 How abput this one as base? http://sakrileg.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/illuminati.png Maybe cut in half and instead of the rays blood is dripping from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifftofer Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Given the themes of toughness/endurance I would suggest either a shield or something containing the ouroborous in the infinity shape. If you do go with something with an eye on it though, I'd suggest it be a closed eye rather than open to symbolise their shielding against the third sight and the powers of the psyker.

Big Bad Squig Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 What was their cultural background? The Zbruchans are feudal Russians (in essence) and the Terran recruits were drawn from tribesmen, the largest tribe being called the Godslayers (who believed before induction into the Imperium that it was their vocation to hunt down an evil terran deity. However, the colourscheme of the legion comes from the heraldry of the first legion master, who was one of the emperor's lackeys. The way I see it, I have three routes to go down: -The Zbruchan symbol (which risks being stereotypically russian) -The Terran symbol (which has the potential to be interesting, but I don't know how to approach it) -Thyris' symbol (which runs the risk of not actually depicting the character of the legion itself) @MikhalLeNoir: I had previously considered using the eye in some way. After the legion's transformation and the whole 'now may you see' thing it becomes very relevant. Perhaps I could use an eye in which the image of a star is reflected, which then darkens after the Insurrection (maybe a chaos star instead). I'm not sure.

Skalpynock Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 A downward-pointing sword/spear/knife, through a fanged/horned skull, as they "Hunters of the Greatest Beasts" title may lend to think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 @Big Bad Squig: Could you show us an example of what you had in mind? That might help us all come to a consensus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Drakzilla~ Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 So I wanted to run this by everyone; I noticed there isn't an "official" symbol for the Insurrectionists, so here's an idea I had: I wasn't sure how chaos-y it should be, but I figured I'd give it a shot. The final iteration of this will probably be going on one of the signature banner designs I'm working on. And please let me know of any suggestions or criticisms!

MikhalLeNoir Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Oh. Actually there is an official symbol;) or the idea behind it. As fsr as I am able to describe it we have a skull and the mouth the skull upper side and thesides are ripped open by the lightningnearers symbol. And then there are diagonal arrows which stand for a chaosgod. Grifft made ha kitbash somewhere Maybe we can combine the skull with your symbol. I like them both Edited April 21, 2016 by MikhalLeNoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Drakzilla~ Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 OH! I know what you mean. Whoops, didn't realize that was the "logo". I'll make a simplified vector version of that for use on the signature then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikhalLeNoir Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Somewhere. I don't know it too. It was not finished just kitbashed. Bud drak, if you know it, maybe refine it? It was still rough. I think it is in book 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Drakzilla~ Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 How's this? I simplified it a bit, but I think it gets the message across. I might tweak it some more or add some cracks but I'd like to know what you all think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) If I'm honest I never liked the design with the Star bursting from within the skull, it just seemed... Cluttered? Busy? I don't know how to describe it, it just didn't agree with me. Personally I always imagined the Insurrectionist symbol (and by extension the Harbingers) symbol to be pretty much Drakzilla's 2nd design, albiet in the usual golden colour and with the diamond-shaped gem still in the centre, maybe without the arrowheaded prongs on the main arms of the star too. So I wanted to run this by everyone; I noticed there isn't an "official" symbol for the Insurrectionists, so here's an idea I had: http://image.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_11930/sml_gallery_92945_11930_620656.jpg @ Big Bad Squig: Hey Squig, I did some thinking and I've found two ideas for a Legion Symbol that might fit the Godslayers. 1. A sword piercing an Omega symbol, inspired by the Bible quote from Fallout 3 about God being "the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End." http://celtictattooist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Celtic%20Sword%20Tattoos%20Designs%2003.jpg 2. A sword piercing an eye, given that the eye is often a symbol of mysticism and it's often claimed that Gods see all this feels fitting to me. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTAyWDQ2Mw==/z/Z~IAAOSwuMFUcNc2/$_35.JPG Edited April 21, 2016 by SanguiniusReborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Perils Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yep, that does look a lot nicer, have to be honest. Would it be going to far to paint the arrows a dark red ? Now that we're talking about it, we haven't got a symbol for the Reformists either have we ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
