Ulrik_Ironfist Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 So, after joining up with the raven guard as my new Space Marine Chapter, I found that they do medallions for their members. I figured that we might do the same, to show our pride as guardsmen. I was thinking we could use the very generic Imperial Guard emblem so that we only have one Medallion for the board, and that way no one is left out (Cadian, Catachan, Elysian, Vostroyan, etc...). Then the member's regiment and name could be printed on it, done on a by request basis. What do y'all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I'm not sure if we could fit in names as well as regiments, as names can be relatively long and regiment designations even longer. Perhaps a few test cases could be done to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkaniss Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I am content with the medals that I have earned and proudly display them in my sig. They're pretty unique on the B&C in style so they already advertise the IG section I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a few test cases could be done to see. True, but I was thinking in true military fashion, we might shorten the regiment names a bit. just number and world of origin. 8th Jotunheim for instance, or 1st Vostroyan, regiment would go across the top, name below. Or we might just do names of members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The image is fairly large, so it could work. Text align/space depends on the image somewhat too I'll see if I can conjure up some test pieces to give people an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son_of_D0rn Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 How much room for text is there for an emblem of that size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 WarriorFish, you're in my mind and I don't like it... Stay out or I shall be forced to report you to the inquisition... It looks excellent, just as I pictured it. Unfortunately my picture editor is difficult to manipulate, so I can't get it to keep the transparent background.

WarriorFish Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 When we say that the commissariat is everywhere we mean it I'd like to spruce it up a little bit more (just around the edges of the emblem and text) and there's quite a bit of room for text as you'd only have to decrease the font size :) If comrades wish to have such an emblem please post here with your desired text and I will get on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 The commissariat is here to help :) I'll probably get some decent time to produce some emblems next week as I have some stuff on this one, so I'll collect a list of those that want one and process them when I can :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
