Looking for AdMech resources - fonts/icons/script/decoration

[MajorNese]

As I've gotten a laser engraver, and some models *coug* Warhound *cough* with enough real estate for engraved decorations, I'm looking for more stuff one can engrave on there, especially when it's already reduced to black-and-white.

 

First of all, the exact font GW uses for AdMech decals would be great. No idea what they use, but that would be quite flexible to use, even to anyone who wants to do their own decals. Entire decorative scripts (like in some GW decals) would also work perfectly.

 

Icons to engrave are always good. So far I know of Baka Design icons which nicely covers the different branches of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Individual AdMech-themed heraldry, decorative elements and such would also be welcome. The Brotherhood of Steel logo for example has nothing to do with 40k, but fits the bill perfectly.

 

To give an example - I currently extract elements of the old .epub codex Cult Mechanicus, which has various cog-themed header/footer lines:

I presume you've already taken a leaf through the relevant Horus Heresy era materials in pursuit of inspiration or details to co-opt. Ten thousand years may have passed, but some designs are almost certainly still in use; and others you can just 'borrow' from. Specific Knight households, Titan legions, and other such groups may have Mechanicus relevant iconography as well. And you could always try your hand at updating some old-school Rogue  Trader / 2nd Edition elements as well. 

Personally, I was rather impressed at the way FW chose to integrate Devanagari / Sanskrit script and words into their Legio Fureans transfers and depictions. So you could always go down a similar route and make use of a suitably 'exotic' real-world script - Ancient Greek, for example. Indeed, you could take things further and put what are, effectively, physics equations etc. on the engravings. It would be in keeping with the general spirit of the thing for something that's a scientific principle for us to become a venerated and revered mantra of protection or empowerment for them. 

A strange idea I just had was to do barcoding in a manner perhaps vaguely similar to 'dazzle' camouflage - alternating black and white parallel lines of various thickness along certain sections.

To the best of my knowledge, the serif font that they use for numbering is 'Century', usually in bold for the larger sizes.

Great, that seems to be a match.
