Though my guards may sleep and ships may lay at anchor, our foes know full well that big guns never tire.
-The Tyrant of Badab

Watch out folks, because Huron Blackheart is coming your way. The story of the fall of the Astral Claws and their corruption into the Red Corsairs is one of the coolest “side shows” in the 40k universe. The Badab War has been with us since Rogue Trader, and these guys even have a cool paintscheme and their own named character and mini. Its time they got some love!

You didn’t hear it from me, but word on the street is you might be able to divine some patterns of interest by taking a close look at the logo sheet archive and putting two and two together (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)! Enjoy guys.

We have been noting for a while that GW does a great job of covering the major Chaos Legions with their decal sheets. However, there are a number of great looking renegade 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 Chaos Marine community and encouraging players to branch out beyond the Traitor Legions, 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 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.

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 black chapter logo, as well a small amount of inverse white logos for folks who want some variants for something special. 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, lets see if any of you can solve my little logo sheet archive mystery…
