I know the iconography of arrows and crosses carried over to the white scar. But what about Unit markings? When reading the history only Space Marines that were from Roubi-what's his name followed the doctrine. So would the White Scars label the units? I don't want to drop squad numbers on my newly painted White Scar units if it doesn't make sense.

Thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/350618/2508122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/350618/2508122.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/350618/2508161.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/350618/2508161.page GMT 40K still...not sure I know what you mean.

I have seen on the body somewhere...typically shoulder or knee pad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/350618/2508294.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/350618/2508294.page GMT Or be inspired by the existant examples and don't use numbers but different sets of "lightnings".

SO:

- different helmet color for veterans/seargents = yes.
- symbols used for tactical, assault, veteran, etc at shoulderpad = yes.
- shoulderpad rim color to mark the company = never seen any WS scheme with anything than red... guess no.
- squad number = possible, but I'd prefer different sets of "lightning stripes" for that.

1 more question. What are the rules behind setting up squad number? Is there a max on how many units can be in each squad? Also, are their limitations to the type of units that can be in the different squad numbers?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/350618/2508515.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/350618/2508515.page GMT Tac squads over to the assault squads and finally the devastator squads
if the company in question is a battle-company. Reserve companies may just run 1-10 squads of identical units.
Organization and sizes of squads can be found in the codex ( either SM, SW, BA, BT or DA ) and some background books like Insignium astartes, space marine hobby
compandium, etc...
Remember, its possible to use marines of the same company, but it isn't mandatory so a force of marines gathered from more than one company is possible too.
With White scars, I'd assume it depends on the value of a low squad-number. Bikers could be seen as favored, and thus receive a lower number than unmounted
marines....
