http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Well I've started repainting my guard but I've run into a brick wall, where do I put the squad and platoon number?
It's easy for all those Cadians since they have those big flat shoulder pads, but the Steel Legion are more cloth.
I originally painted the steel legion logo with different background colors for the platoon and then the squad color was the lightning bolt, but it looks bad, and hard to read.
So how should I do the different squads? I was thinking perhaps numbers on the backs of their helmets but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas.

For those who don't remember what the figures look like click here.


Thanks,

that might look like they had a target on the back of their heads though

For mine, the circle is painted the platoon's color and the lightning bolt is painted the squad's color. Using my own models as an example, a white circle with red lightning would be 1st Platoon, 2nd Squad; an orange circle with green lightning would be 3rd Platoon, 4th Squad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234140/627065.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234140/627065.page GMT
but if you dont have many good non-cloth areas to paint, why not just add a thin trim-color to a section of cloth on the models?

then just adjust the color to the squad/platoon whatever you need]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234140/627706.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234140/627706.page GMT
