Brother Kraskor Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I like the halved crimson fist, with the fluff reason behind it - hadn't heard of the Declates Crusade before and this has given me the excuse for some Monday morning fluff!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Suggestion for your Marshal's heraldry (as I still don't like the halved fist): Make the fist gold, to represent Dorn. IIRC, the Primarch had golden armor, which he repainted the black of mourning after the Siege of Terra. The golden fist would thus symbolize a desire to restore the Imperium to its pre-Heresy strength, and more.

Crovan Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 The halved cross could represent the Templars bringing the light of the Emperor to Imperium Nihilus, whereas the solid cross could represent the crusade's effort to help reunite the Imperium.

Crovan Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 And here with a solid black cross This looks best, in my opinion. Thanks for the input. I had thoughts on the halved vs solid cross. The white cross on red could represent bringing the Emperor's Light to Imperium Nihilus, whereas the solid cross on both halves represents their efforts to reunite a divided Imperium.

Crovan Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Here's the gold fist and solid cross worked into a more complete coat of arms. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353981-the-praetorian-crusade/page/3/#findComment-5523546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Here's the gold fist and solid cross worked into a more complete coat of arms. Looks good. The wings will likely make it too wide to fit on a pauldron; but it should be perfect for an Ancient's standard.

Crovan Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 For sure. That's meant for larger surfaces. When it goes on pauldrons, it'll likely just be the fist and cross. I'll try halved shoulder pads to see how they look.

rye0006 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 What program have you used to make your badge? I'd really like to do my crusade badge but my it drawing skills are fairly non existent.

I'd really like to do my crusade badge but my it drawing skills are fairly non existent. +1! And I liked the halved fist but will concede the solid fist is less busy and would look more coherent replicated across an army. (Easier to paint too!) With the solid fist, the solid cross also works better.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Solid fist is definitely easier to 'follow' as an image. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353981-the-praetorian-crusade/page/3/#findComment-5523743 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crovan Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 Solid black cross looks best and +1 on the software to make it. I just found a bunch of vector graphics for the different elements and bashed them together in GIMP, a free image editing software.

Crovan Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Making some progress on my Palanite Enforcer Neophytes while following the 9th Edition hype/salt. This guy probably just needs a bit more before I call him ready for purging.

Crovan Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 The Neophyte is well-painted. How will you decorate his base? Thanks! I'm doing up the bases for all five of them at the moment. Urban ruins is the basing scheme I'm going for with my crusade. These guys, in particular, will not be raised up at all, as they're a bit tall next to normal Marines.

Crovan Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 My goal for the long weekend here in the U.S. was to get my first five Palanite Enforcer to Neophyte conversions ready for the table.

JimVandy85 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I really like your neophytes. They have an appropriately "squire" look that I think neos should have. I'd been thinking about doing something similar when the enforcers first came out. How do they compare, size-wise, to your initiates?
