    Enlisted Insignia

    I was assembling a full unit of Man-o-War Shocktroopers (plastic), and noticed that I had attached one of the unit commander's shoulder pads onto a regular Shocktrooper. The glue had already set, and I really don't want to remove it. Since I need a way to tell them apart, I thought I'd make the unit commander the sergeant, and the Shocktropper with the fancy shoulder pad a corporal. I'd like to add some form of rank insignia to their shoulder pads. Does anyone know where I can find decals?

    Yeah! Stealth means nothing when your ranged attack maxes out at 4"

    Have you seen my shocktroopers/demo corp? I specifically split up the fancy shoulder pieces across the five guys as a way to tell them apart when tracking damage. So I've got:

    1. Regular Shoulder Pads
    2. Shoulder with the + sign
    3. Shoulder with the individual star
    4. Spiked Shoulder
    5. Khadoran Anvil on the other shoulder from the others

    Then, I can draw little symbols representing the shoulder pads next to the damage boxes for easy reference.

    Moral of the story: claim you did it on purpose, like me. As for decals, I'm guessing you mean the rank symbols from the forces of Khador book? Pretty sure no decals exist, but it should be good freehanding practice since they're all relatively simple and build off the previous rank.

    No, I was thinking of using chevrons. Sergeant, corporal, private, etc. If I can't find anything, I'll just have Jon paint it.

    BOLS has a khador insignia sheet you can print out on waterside paper. It's straight from PP, and "official".
