Squad Identification.

Problem - 32 Khorne Berzerkers.. How to mark each 8 man group?

Ive looked at marking the base or under the base and it doesn't quite appeal. Anyone got any snazy ideas on how to mark them on the model?

I was thinking perhaps some kind of icon or numeral on the chapter badge (they all have GW World Eater shoulder pads) maybe through the world in the middle? What marking would I use?

Battled finding anything on the intrawebz.

Thanks in advance.

Just a couple of suggestions.
1) You could paint the shoulder pad Icon a different colour for each squad.
2) put the sqd No. on a knee pad.

If you haven't finished painting them yet, just do them differently. The Blood God has several favourite colours.
Have one unit in Bronze armour, another in Black, a third in Red, the last in old World Eaters colours (white and blue) splashed with blood.
It also re-enforces how splintered the worshippers of the Blood God are, they have little orginization; each unit (or at best warband) thinks its own way is best.

Paint each squad consuming a different world

Meaning the world being eaten in the symbol

how about a simple tally mark running down a leg, like scratch marks, or tiger stripes. different number of scratches for each squad. it would be subtle and easy to read

I usually model each squad slightly differently, one squad will be plain, one will have grenades one will have pistol holsters and so on.

well, you could paint the heads different colours. one squad bright red, next bronze, 3 = bone, & 4 = dark red. simple. effective.
i actually have all my beserker squads w/ completely different colour schemes ( dark red, bright red, black legion, etc.)

[fade_74]

I would do different kneepads for each

[Aldramelech]

Different colored eyes? subtle but effective.

I know a guy with a similar problem...
He's going down the different coloured eye route. I'd personally Try different coloured helmets or different shades of bronze. Or do one with bloody chainswords, clean chainswords and a final one with 2 sets of chainswords, bloody.

Once saw a guard army with desert camo all kaserkin army and teh only way you could tell the squads apart was from the numbers on the shoulderpads...
