ixupi Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I was wondering fluff wise how the combining of a pre-existing symbols would be taken? Are sucessor chapters allowed to 'use' the founding chapter's logo in any way. To give an example I was wanting to make a "mechcanical" salamanders successor chapter and combine the Salamander logo with the Adeptus Mechcanicus logo to emphasis the Salamanders geneseed and the 'techmarine' feel the army will have. I wasn't sure how well that would be precieved though, but it sure does look cool! I tested it out on a spare shoulder pad.

Aurelius Rex Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Well, the Imperial Fists and Crimson Fists use the same base symbol, so as long as it is suitably distinct from the Sals symbol you should be OK. Why don't you post a pic of your tester miniature with the example chapter symbol and we can comment further. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87790-salamanders-successors-chapter-symbolspics-now/#findComment-1014142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixupi Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 It shall be done! Sorry the pics are horrible, using my handycam until my cord comes in for the cybershot! The model was just thrown together, it's not an actual play model so I don't wanna hear it! ^ ^ Legs are khorne, legs and chest are tactical and the rest came from a random sprue of weaponry. The actual logo, hand painted minus the Salamander logo which I used half of. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/ixupi/salamanderlogo.jpg Color scheme they are going to be rocking on. Obviously a WIP. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/ixupi/colorscheme.jpg Further along but still WIP. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/ixupi/colorscheme1.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/ixupi/colorscheme2.jpg So let me know what you think, scheme wise how good or bad it may be.

Darrell Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Looks good, I did something similar with my Ash Bringers (Also based on the Salamander geneseed). I took the closed fist of the Imperial Fists and did a wreath of flame around the fist (To make it look like it was bringing ash kind of thing). As long as the symbol of your Chapter is sufficiently different from other Chapters, you're good to go. Your half Salamander/Cog is definitely unique enough to qualify, so I would say you're good to go. Most of my expertise is fluff, though, not painting. So personally, I'd like to hear more about the actual fluff of your Chapter. ^_^ I like reading fluff, it makes me happy.

Made a lot of changes, etc from my original idea so I might need to tweek here and there but i'll post it for you!

Race Bannon Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 To answer the question: Yes (?). It's your chapter - there are 1000 chapters in the galaxy. Why not have a Salamander based army with a techmarinie feel? But I agree ... show some fluff if you got it. If not, well, the pad looks good to me so go for it ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87790-salamanders-successors-chapter-symbolspics-now/#findComment-1014341 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 2 or 3 of the U.M successor's use the inverted omega as part of there chapter badge so your good to go looks good.
