White Scars Right Shoulder icons

[6262]

So random question how do you locate decals that work for the Scars right shoulder? I've got buckets of icons that work on dark surfaces from the kits but almost none that are red.

 

I am aware that the White Scars upgrade pack is an option but that feels like a lot of upgrade packs across a force.

I use forgeworlds decals

Fallout Hobbies has a cool site for decals, and they have a troop designation sheet that you can get in various colors

I somehow forgot FW even made decal sheets.

 

Thanks for the recommendation for chapter customizer. The squad markings sheet looks great. Wish they had it in red.

They can make it in any color.  I am working on a Forces of Chogoris idea where I am doing a few squads of every chapter, but my main force is Destroyers, and I got a red sheet, and a black sheet since GW only supplies white.

Is there a different way to request that? I'll poke around more on the site.

Looks like all the custom stuff is done over on their parent site under customs, and they do color matched squad markings for 15$

And you can add just that to the cart, and not have to do a custom sheet for 45$.  They don't really express that, but I had a friend do that, as he was like you and just needed the colored squad markings.

I will second forge world. That decal sheet is amazing. I also use 3d printed shoulder pads from pop goes the monkey on shapeways they have couple that fit for Mongolian style elite units.

I got a bunch of photo-etch brass ones from ebay the set has both Chapter and Squad Designation Icons in it.

Sorry for the late reply, but the mighty brush https://www.themightybrush.com/ also does some very nice tactical symbol decals in red. Thankfully they are in a darker red than the ones from the WS upgrade set, which is hideously washed out compared to how my reds are painted.

I still use the upgrade pack decals. At least you get a good number of them (10), and 10 shoulder pads for troops. The UM one is half of that. 

 

But yea the icon on the right shoulder is a little too bright. I find dulling it down with the weathering helps. I ended up buying 2 sheets of FW White Scars decals just for the left shoulder chapter icon.

 

Honestly though I have some models with the plastic shoulder pad, and I don't know how it's going to look with some FW icons mixed in there???

I highly recommend the FW decal sheets - they are much higher quality, easier to apply plus you get a lot of really cool extra decals.

Forge world decals are the best ones I have used, they are solid. I believe they are thinner material than the GW decals, so with microset/microsol or some other equivalent product, they go on really well.

 

The GW decals as is in the upgrade kits I don't think are a good investment.

Are there a lot of red decals on the forgeworld sheet? I looked at it and in my mind it appeared to be largely white, red, and black decals.

 

How many squads can be outfitted with the red iconography?
