CaptainStabby Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I know the Raptor head with the crossed lightning bolts signifies a Unification War veteran, is there any significance to just the Raptor head, or is it just a variant on that? For example the plate on the MK4 command bit. Cheers folks! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315731-legion-markings-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I believe it's also an honor given to those who have personally fought by the side of the Emperor. For example, the Legion took part in a campaign and the Emperor accompanied them. Members of the Legion (not sure if a select number or all of them) would receive Raptor Imperialis.

CaptainStabby Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Awesome, I figured it would be something along those lines. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315731-legion-markings-question/#findComment-4218275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 In HH3 an Imperial Fist bears a Fist symbol with lightning bolts to signify he has fought alongside the Emperor. I used it on the knee of my Knight Acheron, to show its age plus mesh it with my legion force.

Kriegriss Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I'm sure there would be legion specific styles the IF it's a fist and lightning bolts perhaps WE it's a Jawbiting lightning bolts or DG it's a death heads skull with lightning bolts the raptor imperialis in my mind is standard but legions could have there own symbols for the same thing later on in the crusade as there legion cultures diverged Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315731-legion-markings-question/#findComment-4218461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStabby Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Well, the Raptor and lightning bolts appears all over the place and doesnt appear to be legion specific. Im just trying to grok if it means something different without the bolts.

Slips Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 IIRC, Lightning Bolts might be Unification Era specifically with the Raptor Imperialis being a more General "The Big E Was Here" type deal.
