Callas Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Okay, after the feedback given to Chinchillapimp, I think I need to weigh in with an appeal of my own. A colourscheme that's somewhere between Ultra's Blue and Hawk Turquoise is the plan for the base armour with accents of black (company trim, kneepads, squad markings etc) for the majority of the details. But. The chapter symbol. Now, I have a squad's worth of FW Scorpion pads and some of the brass etch that I reckon I can squeeze another from, so that's 20 Marines in total. Snag is that my army is projected to run to about 50 PA Marines and 30 Scouts plus vehicles (I actually have most of these, it's just a matter of stripping and repainting). Since I don't really want to shell out for all that FW stuff, can anyone give suggestions for a scorpion like design suitable for the chapter pad? I'm torn between a claw or the tail but it's got to be fairly easy to repeat and my freehand skills are somewhere on the far side of diabolical :huh: . So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90531-need-advice-on-a-badge/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gunslinger Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Maybe if you used the shape of the tip of a scorpions tail, along with a couple of the 'segments'? that link it to the body, In black inside a white circle? Shouldnt be too hard to replicate and might look good if you add a couple of subtle highlights to define the tail. Hope this helps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90531-need-advice-on-a-badge/#findComment-1041594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy40k Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Personally, I'd just make a GS push mould (which can not be further discussed). Althernatively.. I'd take a look at This lovely tail. -Legacy40k Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90531-need-advice-on-a-badge/#findComment-1041603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacoknight Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 When I played an FPS for a while, our clan had this symbol. I did not make this symbol and have no idea who the original artist was, but we thought it was pretty cool. Change it to green and you'd be all set. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a180/Vachirkhan/scorpion.jpg -D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90531-need-advice-on-a-badge/#findComment-1041606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
soshuro_tenchi Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 It's the Nod faction icon, from Command and Conquer. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90531-need-advice-on-a-badge/#findComment-1041609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacoknight Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 It's the Nod faction icon, from Command and Conquer. I always wondered where our leader got it from.

TheDarkApostle Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Ahem, actually it would be Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun ;) You could always try to make an simplified version of the NOD logo for them ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90531-need-advice-on-a-badge/#findComment-1041688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
