Kierdale Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I recently found about two and a half sheets of old (1989) UM and DA decals: They'll need some time in the sun to de-yellow them but I was really glad to find them. The sergeant and veteran chevrons for one, but I also realised that the DA icons aren't the same as the current DA chapter icon, no? Would they be better suited to Fallen?

Chaplain Lucifer Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 They would be good for Fallen or a Sucessor Chapter I'd recon. Kierdale 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/337212-old-da-decals/#findComment-4834316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 You know, it really :cuss ed me off in the late 90's when I got a tactical squad with those in them. Now though, I'm glad to have them.

Komodo Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Nice find! Could you please tell me about de-yellowing the decals? I have some old DA decals as well, do you just put them on direct sun?

Kierdale Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Thanks. I've heard anything from a few hours to a couple of days in sunlight can de-yellow them. Likely a couple of hours once I get back to Japan. I'll check and see how they go (and will report ;) ). I guess I'll need to make some Fallen then :D Komodo 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/337212-old-da-decals/#findComment-4834615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Bish Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) I usually put the decal sheet in a ziploc sandwich baggie and tape the baggie to a window that gets the most sun. Check on it periodically and when the yellow is gone you're good to go. Those would be great for a Horus Heresy era force too.
