    Request: Dark Mechanicus Symbol

    I suck ten different ways at drawing, so I was wondering if someone here who's good at that sort of thing would be abe to produce an icon for a Chaos-loyal Dark Mechanicus sect for me? Some kind of blending of the eight-pointed star and the Cogskull symbol would be ideal.

    I wouldn't mind giving that a whirl! After finishing Dark Mechanicus I have plenty of ideas.

    Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

    This crappy edit of the Forge World Iron Warrior door should give you an idea of what I was thinking, although it lacks the split colourscheme or any semblance of art

    Hey Yodhrin,
    This is a quick sketch I whipped up today at work and have quickly coloured in Photoshop just as a preliminary idea. What do ya think?

    [EDIT]
    I've been playing around on photoshop and have blended the chaos symbol and Ad mech symbol from forgeworld and given them a tweak. This is what I was thinking of drawing but this came out better than I expected.

    Better looking than what I could have pulled off, though I was going to try an incorporate a half and half with the ad-mech cog and the chaos star!

    Hey biggreen, I'd still like to see what you could come up with, I mean all that is is a bit of a photoshop job nothing too spectacular. I'm still thinking about using it as a basis for a drawn piece but using the skull design in the link above the pic.

    Kick ass Flame. I actually prefer your sketch to the photoshop job, any chance you could scan it and play around a bit to combine it with a cog/star thingy too?

    Re: Request: Dark Mechanicus Symbol

    Unlike Yodhie, I prefer the Chaos + AM symbol Photoshop job. After seeing your sketch I began scribbling down images of what I wanted the Dark Mechanicus symbol to be, and you've achieved exactly what I was going for. That's definitely being used as a basis for me.

    Thanks! *Save As
    I would suggest that those players who think that paper tanks are cheating or disrespecting the hobby should see if they can track down a copy of White Dwarf #132. - kelvingreen

    I do like it, but it just doesnt seem...twisted enough for me. I just really like the "spiky" skull used in the first sketch, plus the teeth are great. It would also be hard to tell the symbol apart from the normal Chaos Star at tabletop distance, especially on smaller icons, the sketch is much more distinctive from the current AdMech and Chaos skulls.

    Wow, people talking about my stuff! I'm please you guys like both efforts! The first sketch does need some refinement as it was just a quick doodle I did on my notepad at work.

    @Puffin Magician: I have a cleaned up version of the badge if you would like a copy.
    [EDIT]
    Here ya go people.
