Wassa Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hello, Are you guys picky with which transfers go on which models? I'd love to have each infantry squad with a different number, but then it makes it harder to chop and change special/heavy weapons. What do you do? Infantry transfers: http://www.bitzstore.com/8207-large_default/astra-militarum-troops-transfers.jpg Do you guys put the big numbers on tanks or are they pretty much just surplus? Also regarding Tank Transfers http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4079/4782493674_88ccd478a1.jpg Which ones do you actually use? I've rarely seen the top half used anywhere really Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346829-transfers-models/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowmaster Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I don't use transfers(never could get the hang of them) but a coloured stripe on a shoulder pad or base could help differentiate squads if you're worried about using numbers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346829-transfers-models/#findComment-5070208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProminusIV Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I use the top half of the tank sheet for details mainly, access points, flame tanks and so on. My entire army uses the 501st transfers from the infantry sheets, even tanks. An example: On one of my leman russ turrets i used one of the square transfers.

TheShredder Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I'm still not sure I understand how you're supposed to use them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346829-transfers-models/#findComment-5070271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spafe Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 have a google of some real life tanks and you'll see a number of the pics will show markings in a variety of ways for designation, information/warnings. Those transfers give you a way to put similar type things without having to free hand. The circle with a lightning bolt on for instance I saw on a lot of the old armoured fist squads chrimeras in the old gw mags.

Inso Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 My squads will be individually marked and will be linked to platoons (as is the proper custom). My tanks will be marked in the same way that British tanks were, during the second world war. I like my troops to be familiar with their squad mates... so they won't be swapped around :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346829-transfers-models/#findComment-5070281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
