mertbl Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Squad number on the shoulder pad. Special weapons and heavy weapons don't have squad numbers.

JBugman Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I number/code mine on the back: HQ1 - 5: Commander (back when there was one) and Command Squad 111 - 110: First Squad 121 - 120: Second Squad 131 - 130: Third Squad etc. AF1 - AF0: Armoured Fist Squad (back when they were available) HW11 - HW12: Heavy Weapon Squad One HW21 - HW22: Heavy Weapon Squad Two etc. It's neat and clean. The only downside is sorting them away after the game since my eyes aren't what they used to be. The lettering's kinda small.

Cap'm Heckus Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 My Cadian squads have a different colored stripe on their left shoulder. My catachans city fighters have different head band. Super simple. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345217-telling-squads-apart/page/2/#findComment-5038400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Just saw these http://natfka.blogspot.com/2018/04/squad-marks-review.html?m=1 You clip them onto the base and you can mix and match easy enough Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345217-telling-squads-apart/page/2/#findComment-5060010 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wassa Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Squadmarks seem pretty decent. I would have said cadian numbered shoulder pads or colours, different base textures (shades of green grass, mud, sand, rock, etc), base rim colours, numerals on the back. The problem with these is that they’re permanent so you cant mix and match easily Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345217-telling-squads-apart/page/2/#findComment-5060225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardDaddy Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I haven't enough infantry for it to be an issue yet. But at local club member had added small magnet to underside of model base, then small magnet under a second unused base of same size. These he coloured (painted rim). Simply sits squads on base with colours showing which is which. he got pile of bases cheap on ebay. Models end up a base height higher. But thats it. He just kept the bases in a freezer bag he took with him. worked well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345217-telling-squads-apart/page/2/#findComment-5060291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
