Rainbow Warriors Logo Sheet
By order of the Inquisition, Open these doors!
CREEEAAKKKK….
By the Emperor, My Eyes, My eyes!!!
SLAM!
Its really hard to beat the Space Sharks for entertainment value, but I did manage to drum up one last chapter with lets say an “intriguing” history in the 40k universe. Lets hear it for the Rogue Trader era Marines of the Rainbow Warriors, the single most sadly named chapter in the Imperium.
You didn’t hear it from me, but word on the street is these dudes give the Dark Angels a run for their money (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)! Now maybe we can speculate a little bit more on the mystery of the planet Prism from p.30 of the new marine codex. Enjoy guys.
We have been noting for a while that GW does a great job of covering the major 1st Founding and select 2nd Founding chapters with their decal sheets. However, there are a number of great looking 2nd and later founding chapters who get a good amount of back-story and have great alternative uniform colors that never have had decals produced for them. In the interest of promoting diversity in the Marine community and encouraging players to branch out beyond the “big 4”, I continue our line of logo sheets for some of these other chapters who I think look great and have no GW decal support.
Here is the link to the PDF file for the logo sheet you can freely pull down and use:
The sheet is designed for printout on decal printer paper which is easily available online. These decals are designed for the CLEAR or WHITE decal paper. The procedure is as follows:
CLEAR PAPER: If you use the clear decals, the decals need to be applied to a light colored surface to be visible at all. The procedure for applying the “outline only” decals is to apply them to a white surface, and wait till they are fully dried. Then using the outlines as a guide, paint in the darker color around the decal if needed. It is odd, but gets the job done.
WHITE PAPER: This paper will allow you to use it directly over dark surfaces. Cut out the white logos with the thick blue borders, and apply them directly over your blue painted models. Once dry, you can go back and touch up any edge defects with blue paint.

This sheet is sized for superheavy vehicles up towards the top and scales down to marine scout shoulderpad size at the very bottom. I have included the standard white chapter logo, against a blue “easy to cut out” outline as well a small amount of inverse blue logos for folks who want some variants for something special. There is also a small set of left-right reversed logos for folks who need to use them on both sides of vehicles. Please make sure you run off a test sheet first on your printer to make sure.
In any case, enjoy and I wish you the best in using this set for your forces.
~Please feel free to leave comments if there is a special Chapter, Craftworld, or something else you would love to collect, but have no GW decal options, and I will see what I can do. Finally, let the innuendo and off color remarks commence; within the bounds of good taste of course 🙂
