Hey guys,
Is there any source that offers a definitive Codex Astartes way of indicating squad numbers? I'm building a small space marine force and I'm trying to make them as obnoxiously codex as possible. As I understand it, that means that the left shoulder guard carries the chapter symbol, the right shoulder guard carries the squad type, and the right kneepad carries the squad number. My question is:
Is that correct?
Is there prescribed heraldry for the squad number? The Blood Angel codex gives heraldry but I can't tell if that's a Blood Angel specific thing or if that's the codex way of doing things.
I know that even codex chapters like the Ultramarines vary from the codex, so I know I could just make up my own rules, but I'm trying to figure out if there's a prescribed way of doing things. Thanks for the help!
