Chapter markings
This is a work in progress and if you see any glaring contradictions, let me know.
****
Chapter symbol: TBD after a name is chosen. Generally the left shoulder denotes chapter and function. The right shoulder denotes company and rank The right knee denotes squad..
Armor pattern: The standard pattern is feet, thighs, joints, and face plates with green in all other locations.
Company markings:
Company symbol is on the right pauldron.
Squad markings: Squad type determined by the trim on the left pauldron. Gold for HQ, Green for Tactical, Blue for Fast Attack, & Yellow for Heavy Support.
Scouts are designated by their armor style as are Terminators. Sternguard veterans in standard power armor from veteran squads have orange armor where the rest of the chapter's is green and the pauldrons have green trim. I don't know if I will keep this for the Vanguard veterans or not. I may simply paint them as normal assault marines and reverse the helmet and face plate colors. I may give all sergents orange or silver trim on their right pauldrons depending if they are veterans. I may throw a blaze of orange on the Terminators as well.
Rank markings:
Margrave - Denoted by a surcoat, banner, and gold pauldrons w/ green trim.
Captains - Denoted by surcoat, banner, and silver pauldrons w/ gold trim.
Veteran Sergents -- Orange right paudron trim
Sergeants -- Silver right pauldron trim
Privates -- Green right pauldron trim
Banner markings: Each Company has a symbol which is denoted on it's company banner. All squad banners are patterned to designate the squad type and are in the color codes for that type of unit. All squad banners have the squad number as an Arabic number on them as well. Squad banners may have other squad specific deisgns. Independent characters may have their own personal standards with a design that is up to them.
Specialist markings:
Apocatharies have white armor where the rest of the chapter is black except the face plate.
Librarians have blue
Techmarines have dark red, but this may change because it looks Christmas-like with the green.
Chaplains have all black armor, skull face plates.
Champions -- Black armor with green pauldrons with gold trim, green surcoat, and a gold head laurel
