Legion Seeker Squads

[Valkyrion]

Tactical Arrow or Assault Cross shoulder icons, speaking generically?

How do you mean generically? I think it varies legion to legion, and even sometimes within a single legion.

[Gorgoff]

Mine (IW) have black shoulder pads because they are Black Ops in my head canon.

[LameBeard]

I have seen some Frater make up their own symbol / a stylised target sight

[GodEmperorOfMankind]

Personal preference it comes down to I think. Tactical arrow out of those two would be my opinion, as assault cross would be for melee units, at least in my head.

[Ripper.McGuirl]

I went the same way as Gorgoff and blacked them out.
Of your options, I would go with tactical arrow, as they are basically just a tactical squad with better guns. I think a veteran marking would work, too. But overall, I would say they need their own symbol, like the destroyers have.

I painted my IF Seekers in a sort of Autumn Camo pattern (to keep them yellow) and basically put no insignias on them because of that.

I think the colour plates referencing Seekers at all are for the Alpha Legion and Dark Angels, neither of which use Principia Belicosa markings in these examples.

 

But the Alpha Legion one states:

 

Unknown Legionary

Unknown Squad/Unknown Unit Affiliation

Wargear indicates operation as ‘Seeker’ Tactical sub-type

The Invasion of Paramar

Assault on the Paramar Terminus Complex

Pict-Render: Conflict Zone 34/71

 

And they don’t have the stat-line to be Veterans. So, everything points to treating them as a specialised Tactical Squad.

Its only "camo" in that I just went "Ehhhh how can I just break up their shilouette?" while using "fall" colors. (Red, yellow, brown, some orange)

I have apparently angled all my Seekers right shoulders away from camera in all but one WIP shot but seems i did company marking :D

I would probably go for an Elite marking to help pick them out though, it is very easy to confuse them with Tactical marines if you havent converted them otherwise!

I guess I mean Veteran as in "guys who are good at stuff", not necessarily "armed like a Veteran Tactical Squad".
