What do Imperial Fists have on their shoulderpads an how do they mark veterancy and sergeants.

"What do Imperial Fists have on their shoulderpads"

Fists?

"an how do they mark veterancy and sergeants"

Red stripe on the helmet is the old way. No idea what current design is. I think most people use a wreath on the head like the Ultramarines.

How do they mark their shoulderpads(i mean like the edges), and how do they say in which company they are in.

color of the trim on the shoulders, as far as I know they are a codex chapter. so 1st company has white, 2nd has gold, 3rd is red, 4th is green, 5th is black, 6th is orange, 7th is a light purple or pink, 8th is a silver, 9th is a blue and 10th has none(scout company).

Yeah, they're a strict codex chapter, so you can always fall back on the markings in the Smurf codex. Still, you only ever see the red trim on the table-top - I guess their 3rd Company must see all the action, eh?

So if i want to know their markings and everything about it i can just use the codex?

That's correct - the Imperial Fists follow Roboute Guillman's "how-to" codex almost as strictly as the Ultramarines do, so under the official "fluff" you'd use the Ultramarines "codex" markings for your Fists.

...Of course, we're just playing a game with toy soldiers, so if you wanna change up their codex markings I ain't gonna call the "fluff police" on you!

I always enjoy trying to make my marines as close to codex as possible. I made myself repaint all my shoulder pads when i realized that i had painted them with 4th company trim, but marked them with decals as 5th company.

But as Molotov said, we aint gonna call the fluff po-po if you do it your own way. It also not like the marines are going to come alive and demand that you repaint their armor to follow codex rules. And if that does happen, ill gladly take them off your hands. I always wanted my own space marine company that i can keep in the closet.

Yeah, but the sergeants yelling orders, and the initiates traing, with the rest praying to emperor in the middle of the night might be a little annoying after the first week.
