I have been putting together a Black Legion army for over a year now and started putting some paint on vehicles. Getting a bit stymied on what kinds of logos and heraldry to deck them out with.

Given that the Black Legion is the only traitor legion to keep a serious military heirarchy, I want to keep some kind of uniformity with marking the vehicles themselves. Not going to go with Imperial Gothic numbering schemes, which would be too orthodox. I am thinking about using the eye in the front left side of each vehicle, and some other standard mark on the right to designate individual squads. The ideas I have are to use demon faces, marks of Chaos, runes, and other smaller elements for the secondary designations. But these are not as satisfying, and I am getting stuck with what to do next.

Wondering what kinds of resources exist for detailing Black Legion heraldry. Are there any other marks commonly associated with them besides the eye and the original Luna Wolves mark? Has GW ever actually commented on this?

I don't think you'll find much outside of existing artwork, inclusing the Horus Heresy artbooks (ie the later heresy Luna Wolves, who still seem to keep much of their original insignia). Sure there's been the odd chapter approved article on them, but those only really touched on their background and origins, plus their post heresy state, not something as compartively minor as squad markings. Certain companies and squads were part of different lodges, so that might be an idea for unit markings (ie the serpant lodge, wild dog lodge, chaos runic style symbols of theses etc). Other chaos players have gone for giving their sqauds different chaos runes for designation, and as I recall the Luna Wolves adopted a more tribalisque style of unit markings nearing the end of the Herest, but its up to you how chaotic you wish your minis to be-have they descended into a bunch of demon worshipping lunatics, or do they still show a semblance of their glory days, but with a triatorous, defiled edge to them? =P
