HighMarshalAmp Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Say I fielded a First Founding Chapter all painted up in the right scheme and played it as that chapter. But say none of the models had the Chapter's emblem. Would anyone even raise an eyebrow?

Noserenda Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Nobody worth listening to tbh, your models to do what you like with. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363416-no-chapter-emblem/#findComment-5511310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovemberIX Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Your models, and your hobby. From my (semi-related) experience though, EVERYONE, will comment. Some innocently, some helpfully, a few snidefully. But the most important thing is you do you, tell the story you want, it is your hobby in the end.

Aurica Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Models with emblems looks nicer. But there is nothing wrong with not having emblems. A lot of people find applying decals or free handing it troublesome so they don't bother. But that hasn't stopped them from getting a game at the FLGS where I am from. I would say 60 to 70 % of the gaming community does not bother with it.

Panzer Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I love it if people use proper heraldry, including emblems, but honestly? No nobody would actually care except for some very special people. Sure it would get mentioned but nobody should really seriously argue about it.

Doghouse Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Is it because you want them left blank or not confident to paint the chapter icons on? If so I find transfers are great for that. Otherwise I doubt many would object, better to have a painted army to play against regardless of markings.

War Angel Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Are your models painted? Cause damn I would love to just play against someone who paints their models for once.

Philip S Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Would anyone even raise an eyebrow? The most you'd get is an offer to help. Everyone knows an army is a process, and most are excited to help a fellow fan and want to share their knowledge and reminisce back to when they started out. If anyone gives you grief over the start of your journey, be polite and back off, as you are talking to 'that guy'. Most clubs know who 'that guy' is, and will probably steer you away from them, so take the hint, and go with the flow.

HighMarshalAmp Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Right, that's what I was hoping for I don't like to mix transfers and moulded pads and after spending 40+ Bucks per army to get the DW pads for 3 C:SM Battalions and combining them with more ornate pads from the upgrade sprues, I'm getting tired of it. And now I'm at a point where I could just go all transfers on my new project but frankly, I can't be bothered right now... Maybe in a few months though I do love the splendor of codex iconography as much as the next guy after all Edit: Though for all we know, I might not get any games in in the meantime anyway so I probably needn't have worried Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363416-no-chapter-emblem/#findComment-5511572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
