Hey guys, so with the new space marines out, i decided to buy the strike force box set, and finally paint the salamanders army ive always wanted to. I know quite a bit on them, and have been doing research on them for a couple days but Im still stuck on a few things. First does each squad in the second company have its own design on the right shoulder pad flame emblem? Also the fancy numbers (sorry i cant remember the official name for them) are they use to denote the company or the squad? The knee pads can have either these numbers or the flame from the right shoulder pad correct? An finally, ive searched everywhere, but does anyone have a solid image of what the second companies banner / emblem looks like?

thanks for any help in advance.

numbers on the front kneepad are company. numbers on shoulder are squad numbers. Also, every marine has different shoulderpad design in fluff. And if you have old 5th ed codex, there is a salys 2nd company banner, hanging out with their tiny, half page entry. (I might be able to scan it and send you a picture if you really want. pm meh if this is the case)

Hey thanks man, I actually have the 5th here, cant believe i missed it. Also, so the flames on the left are all different on every marine?

third image in is the Force Org. chart for the Sallies...

well tha flamers are supposed to be unique, crafted by each marine individualy (in game they are all twinlinked cuz of this) but it wouldn't hut to gs a few custom flamer heads. those are just plain winning.

Thanks guys, i appreciate the quick responses.
