Space marine vehicle numbering


Recommended Posts

I'm just a bit confused on how space marine vehicles assigned to a battle company get numbered. Ive got Imperial fists and am going for complete codex compliance. My rhinos which are permanent within the company have their numbers, rhino 1, rhino 2 and so on but I'm not sure about vehicles from the armoury.

I currently have 2 predators, a whirlwind and a vindicator so would these be numbered 1 - 4  or would it be predator 1, predator 2, whirlwind 1 and then vindicator 1? Also where would dreadnoughts come into this, would they be numbered in the company or out of all in the chapter? I have looked through a few codecies and the internet but cant seem to find any solid info about it.

 

Any help or input would be appreciated.

What I meant was, all Armory tanks attached to the second company would all bear the number 2, whilst they would be identifed with a unique name. Whereas Company Tanks, such as Rhino/Razors would bear their squad marking in addition to the company number and unique name.

 

Cheers,

Jono.

Oh yes I understand that. What I was referring to was the vehicle identification number. From 8ed codex "Space marine battle tanks and dreadnoughts are assigned a unique identification number within the company" . So this would be additional to the squad and company numbers.

Choson your first post is right. You get pred 1 pred 2 pred 3, whirlwind 1 etc.

 

The unit number is on a circle in the company color. They don't have the company number anywhere, just a colored circle with the unit number on it.

 

It seems a bit inadequate but that's how it is in the Ultras.

 

Most squads and vehicles have at least one nickname but the unit number should always be there.

 

Dreadnoughts are in specific companies and they have unit numbers too.
