Hi, I'm working on a mechanicus army and what i'm lacking is the cog and skull symbol. Awhile back i sold a metal knight paladin with a flag pole that had a small cog symbol on it. I was wondering if someone had one of those i could buy/borrow or could possibly make me a press mold of it. Also lookin for all sizes of the mechanicus symbol, willing to beg borrow and steal in all cases. Appreciate any and all help.

Thx,
Blind-

If you want something ideal, if a little expensive try this, I'm sure you'll be able to sell off the rest for a decent comeback.

Having recently found out that the Imperial fist one has icons small enough for Rhino doors I couldn't recommend them enough. Looking at the smallest cogs they aren't small enough for a rhino doors but they are definitly tiny.

The sheets are a little smaller in real life, if you feel like giving yourself a headache measure what you see on screen and use the measurements given on the website to scale it down.

Really depends what you're sticking it to, the big ones would make great objectives if nothing else.

Thats what I get for not clicking on things! lol!

I think the little ones are pretty small. Might work on WE and some AV's. Worse case is you buy one and have to resale it or trade it away?

I got that sheet for a 40K scale conversion; I've used the smallest cog icon for a banner pole for a 6mm scale Tech Lord:

It's still work in progress, but it does show the scale of the smallest icon.

EDIT: There's also the Space Marine vehicle gunner shoulderpad. It ought to be possible to make a press mould from that.

The BFG AdMech ships come with seperate skull and cog icons, too. Also shouldn't be too hard to press mold, and you get a spaceship out of the deal!
