Warhammer 40k Astartes Forces Heraldry – A
Greetings theydies and gentlethems, I thought I would share with you a little project I started to work on a few years back on the Bolter and Chainsword. The year was 2015 and I couldn't help but notice the lack of chapter symbols and how many of the Astartes icons were just incomplete. So I decided I would just redo them all. I mean, how long could that possibly take me? This project included all Space Marine Chapters, Renegade forces and Chaos warbands. If you notice any are missing or if you have any reference for the “?” heraldry please let me know down in the comments or in my B&C thread.
In the image above I have listed all the different chapters I found in my research. I have left the ones with no reference unfinished for now and perhaps I can come back to them another day. If you are interested in checking out the reference photos I used, you can find all the links at the bottom of the post.
I have cross-referenced and created all my Astartes lists with the following resources you can find below:
