Hi, I'm painting up my Skitarii, and i had a few questions about the transfer sheet, hopefully someone with some lore knowledge can help me -- as my question is about the symbols on the sheet I'm putting it this sub-forum --

On the transfer sheet that comes with the Vanguard/Ranger box, seen below, there are a few decals i don't understand.


Squad markings, skulls, dates, thats fine. My question is regarding the yellow triangular ones, and the two red ones on the right hand side. Does anyone know what these symbols represent and how they would be used?

thanks!

IIRC based on the Imperial knight ones. they are supposed to be accolades

Knight codex does show the red ones as being plates indicating the location of manufacture. No idea on the yellows

White dwarf 61 had a little article on this with callouts. The red ones are indeed maker's plates from the forgeworld that built the machine. The yellow triangles are hazard makings found around mechanical parts, power sources, weapons, etc. Because OSHA apparently isn't completely dead in the 41st millennium.

In the 41st millennium, there is only war.

Please try not to hurt yourself on these power cables though.

Thanks!!

Oh yeah as above said. there is a WD that did lay it out..

i was thinking you meant all the small yellow triangles on the bottom left for some reason
