From the weapons forges of Mars (a.k.a. Games Workshop) have come new and terrible devices with which to decorate your awesome engines of destruction! Four new sets of decals have been brought to the attention of this most humble servant of the Emperor's will: Epic scale Space Marine, Imperial Guard decals as well as 40K scale Chaos (boo! hiss!) and Fantasy Battle decals ($6.99 per pack with three color variations each of five different designs). A wealth of insignia are to be had from these sets! For example the Epic Imperial Guard decals are small enough for Epic vehicles and Titans, but are perfectly useful for 40K scale vehicles and will work on banners, body armor, shoulder pads or whatever else a little effort and imagination can cook up! Insignia in the Guard set include skulls, Imperial Eagles, skull and crossbones, winged skulls, skulls with crowns, fist and crossbones, wings, Titan "T", arrows, skulls and lightning bolts, crossed axes, skulls and crossed knives, crossed lances, fist brandishing scythes, skull and stars, etc., etc. The Chaos set includes designs for Tzeench, Nurgle, Slaanesh and Khorne, as well as a generic Chaos sheet of Chaos arrows and skull designs. The Epic Maine set in cludes all sorts of insignia (just like the Guard set) as well as decals for the "big four" Chapters of Space Marines (Space Wolves, Ultramarines, Dark Angels and Blood Angels). The Fantasy Battle set I especially like, since the designs are ina sense more generic, consisting of griffins, unicorns, boars, elk heads, heraldic eagles and lions, crosses, sun bursts, crescent moons and other designs adaptable to many uses.
