Jealous that Horus is Warmaster





Hello people, hope you are all doing well!

Now, I'm painting up my Imperial Fists army, and I'm waiting on applying transfers, mostly because I can't find any good ones. The Forgeworld transfer sheet for Imperial Fists used to be perfect, but they went out of production before I started with my army. It had all the up to date tactical/devastator/assault marine symbols as well as a bunch of Imperial Fists emblems etc. Now, the new one is tailored to 30K, Horus Heresy era marines. This means that the Devastator squad marking is incorrect for 40K. I am pretty picky with stuff like this, I want my marines to be "codex correct", with the right markings for each squad.

Now, to my question: is there any transfer sheet that has all the correct, 40K, squad markings? The closest I can find is the Death Spectres transfer sheet from GW: http://www.games-workshop.com/en-SE/Death-Spectres-Chapter-Transfers
That one has the correct markings, but I don't like that the squad numbers are already on there, and I dislike the font for the numbers anyway. Also, I would have a bunch of Death Spectre markings I wouldn't use, so I would have to get Imperial Fists symbols from somewhere else.

Is there any website that lets to design your own transfer sheets that people can recommend? Also, is it even legal to send companies like that official GW symbols like the Imperial Fists emblems and squad symbols to print?

Alpharius? Never heard of him.

Fallouthobbies do custom decals and designs, email him what you want.

Don't regular tactical marines come with squad marking transfers?

Is the issue that those are white?

You're probably better off using the Dark Angels ones- though the tactical icon is different. But the red on everything else should stand out pretty well.

Thank you! I'll check out Fallouthobbies :-)

Yeap, the ones that come in the box are white, mainly for Ultramarines. Imperial Fists use the standard codex compliant symbols, in black.

Same with the Dark Angels ones, wrong symbols and wrong colour :-)

Should be easy for him to scan a sheet it, make them black, print it out for you. Much to GWs disappointment, they haven't been able to trademark arrows or triangles (yet)
