Does anyone know the insignia or colour scheme of the Astral Knights? Or do you have a opinion of what they should be? My Tau are coming along nicely and I want a new project and the noble sacrifice of the Astral Knights has really captured my attention.

Planning on making a project blog on this, but want to get a few ideas before I start.

In the Angels of Death short story Obsidian their armour is said to be silver - no surprises there really.
Personally I'd throw on a little blue, I've always thought it was a pretty noble colour.
As for the symbol, maybe a combination of stars and swords? Or a starsword. Or a sword on a starry background.

you mean something like this?

Silver and blue sounds believable (will have to read that story!) I'll start experimenting with colour combinations but I'm thinking less silver, mainly because I really don't like painting it lol.

And that symbol is pretty epic! I have never tried free hand, but I'll have to give that a go or see if I can doctor one by combining transfers.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Spoiler:

Yeah, that'd fit the bill nicely.
