Buster Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 So I've bitten the bullet and picked up a copy of BaC to start a heresy force. Still undecided on which legion but leaning towards the IV. Regardless of which I pick I'm planning to pick up specific shoulder pads since I don't like using decals. Only thing that has me stumped are squad markings. Did the legions use the familiar symbols for tactical, assault, and devestator squads or something different. After looking through numerous images online I'm seeing a lot of different options. Everything from the 40k markings to both shoulder pads having the legion symbol. Not sure where to go from here with the planning. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317429-legion-squad-markings/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The Legions used pretty much whatever you can think of unfortunately, though you cant go too far wrong with the regular 40k symbols Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317429-legion-squad-markings/#findComment-4258717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 It's fairly open tbh, the books give a wide range of options. There isn't a right or wrong answer. You could even invent your own markings if you enacted to, or leave the are blank, or paint a different colour, the Legions have a lot more freedom then the chapters.

Black_out Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 It's all pretty much wide open to your interpretation on what to do with squad markings. The 40k markings would be a good starting point but there's no reason you couldn't get creative as well. I, myself, wish it was a little more fleshed out & structured but I'm anal about things like that.

Reyner Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Here are some decent markings for the proper Legion of Iron. There are some more in Book 3 with some sweet Iron Warriors artwork to go with it. Book is also handy if you want all the fluff as well as the rules for the Iron Warriors :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317429-legion-squad-markings/#findComment-4258743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 and were pretty common already but IIRC the symbol wasn't. For troops they used the <=> symbol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317429-legion-squad-markings/#findComment-4258829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Looks like I'll get some practice in painting squads markings then. Thanks for the help guys!
