The sizes are determined by the game - not anything I do. To make an emblem requires three sizes - a 256x256 size version that appears on the menus (species collection, in-gme menus, etc), a 124x124 size one that is for the Map alone, and a 24x24 that is used for mobile unit flags and the like.

It isn't a matter of me deciding how bit I want them to appear, I'm afraid. It's all hard coded.

If possible could u make some emblems bigger as u can barely see them on the flag like for example the imperium of man skull and wings i cant even tell that its a skull lol

I've taken some time to rearrange the images on this page to match (I think...) the order of the names in the lists. It should help you find one particular image if you are looking through the lists for your favorite.

V 1.26 for Stellaris 3.*

- UPDATE NOTES -

* NEW GENERAL FACTION: Palatine Aquila (Great Crusade Era, Imperium of Man)

Thanks to poster "Epic Man" for this one as well. As a note, this was also used - by Imperial Direction - in place of the Imperial Aquila on the armor of the 3rd Legion (Imperial Children) prior to their turn to Chaos... no other Legion was allowed to use the Lightning Bolt version, as that was part of the Emperor's own Emblem.

Helps if you provide a link... preferably to a decent sized pic. I'm also trying to keep this canon, so if the link proves that as well, then even better.

No Problem! Glad to Help! I have another one for an Idea: during the Great Crusade, The Imperium had an Aquila with thunderbolts.

V 1.25 for Stellaris 3.*

- UPDATE NOTES -

* NEW FIRST FOUNDING LEGION: XVI - Sons of Horus (Alternate Pre-Heresy Name)

Thanks to poster "Epic Man" for pointing out the second name of the XVI Legion Pre-Heresy.

Certainly doable. I've read up on the name and it looks like the 16th Legion changed their name to "Sons of Horus" shortly before the Heresy. I'm not sure where to stick this one, but as it seems to be the only one of the originals to change names, it may best fit among the original twenty.

I'll look into it.

Could you add a Sons of Horus emblem?

V 1.24 for Stellaris 3.* Released. Patch notes in both the description and in the Change Notes tab.

This finishes out all of my planned emblems for this mod - at least until I find (or am directed to) another canon source for emblems I haven't covered yet. Make it 248 emblems... and several years later.

Enjoy!

After a quick bit of research (which I somehow think I've done before now that I've thought on it), I have determined that the DKK does not have an official, canonical emblem. Therefore, it will not be represented by any such in this mod. The sources I've checked indicate that the DKK will typically use either the skull often seen as part of the Astarte's emblem or the Imperial Aquila. I suggest using either of those emblems instead.

*sad mod author noises* Nein link to emblem? ;)

*sad gas mask noises* Nein Death Korps Krieg?

For clarity, that would be 230 emblems X 3 files X 1.5 minutes, or about 17+ hours of additional work.

I don't think you understand how much work you are asking for. Each of these emblems takes THREE separate files - one for the map (which I could just copy over), one for the flags, and a third for the little marquees that follow along on ships, for example.

Each one takes about a minute to setup (not just the graphic file, but the proper resolution sizes) and another 30 seconds or so to save. On a per-emblem basis, that doesn't sound like much.

Now multiply that by 235 emblems. And with more still on the way. I am... less than inclined to do that kind of work. Certainly not without a compelling reason to do so - the gold versions I have now are using the same colors as the base game does, keeping it in theme with the game. Going to any other setup would make this even more niche than it is already, not to mention essentially doubling the amount of maintenance I'd have to do every time I update this mod.

Short version - not likely. At least not as things stand.

can you also give thos emblems a light dark silver color

V 1.23 for Stellaris 3.*

- UPDATE NOTES -

* NEW CATEGORY: Marine General Founding, containing Legions from the 3rd through 25th Foundings

* NEW GENERAL FOUNDING LEGIONS: Angels Revenant, Astral Claws, Black Dragons, Carchodons Astra, Charnel Guard, Crimson Spears, Death Spectres, Executioners, Exorcists, Fire Angels, Fire Hawks, Imperial Harbingers, Imperius Reavers, Iron Hounds, Iron Knights, Lamenters, Mantis Warriors, Marines Errant, Mentor Legion, Minotaurs, Sable Swords, Scythes of the Emperor, Spears of the Emperor, Star Phantoms, and Tome Keepers

This just leaves the Ultima Founding for the next release, barring another major discovery of yet-undone emblems. If 230+ emblems isn't enough for a game of Stellaris, I shudder in horror at what the border gore in your game must look like.

Awesome man !! Thank you very much for your hard work ! Again thank you for this masterpiece, really appreciate :D

V 1.22 for Stellaris 3.* released. Changelog is too big for the comments, so read it in the description OR in the patch notes above.

All other Foundings of the Astartes are on their way. Ultima Founding will be its own category, but the others will be combines.

I've finished the emblems for the First and Second Founding, but have not yet saved them into the game. Given the number of them, that's gonna take a couple of hours, and it's too late for me to get them in tonight...

... so expect a MAJOR update tomorrow evening. Again, THIS WILL LIKELY BREAK YOUR IN-PROGRESS GAMES due to changing file names and locations. My apologies for this, but given what is being added, I think you'll forgive me.

This coming update will add in ALL PRE-HERESY emblems for the First Founding legions, and every Second Founding Chapter emblem I could find.

It WILL be big. You WILL enjoy it. The Emperor DEMANDS it!

"I don't always spend 8 hours working on nothing but Photoshop, but when I do, it might irritate my wife. Stay sane, my friend."

Man, you are a god, a war machine!

This is the most complete emblem set on a universe I've seen on Stellaris! It's just crazy!

I didn't expect that when I came up with the idea of pre-heresy heraldics, you would actually start working on it soon.

Anyway, great idea for the astartes emblems in the shape of shoulder pads! It's going to look great :D

Thank you very much again

After hours of research, I've identified about 79 Space Marine chapters. There would have been more, but some of the iconography is identical (or nearly so) to other chapters, so have been omitted. This will take some time, and as mentioned there will be a reorganization of the file structure to accommodate it... having a single category with more than 100 emblems is just unwieldy.

I have the First Founding complete at this point (as I had half of them already, really). Once I have the Second Founding complete, I'll do an update.

Just realized that the Grey Knights are NOT their own faction/army, but a Second Founding Space Marine chapter. This will be corrected in the next update as well.

WARNING TO ALL USERS:

There will be a reorganization of all the emblems related to this mod in the next update. This is due to new information I have learned as a result of conversations in this thread. The short form is that all of the main faction emblems will be separated out into their main category, and the Astartes will be further divided by Founding.

This will give us all of the original 20 (18, I know...) Legions, pre-heresy. It will also allow for more of the Chapters that came later without bloating that one category. This means that any game in progress will likely NOT WORK with the next update because the file structure will be changing.

My apologies in advance, but I really think this is the best way forward.

As always, I have a lot to learn about this universe.

I'm sorting through a lot of new information (and emblems), and there's a lot of potential additions here. The first step, however, would be a reorganization of what I have, and that might break people's games in progress, which I would hesitate to do.

What I'm thinking is creating (to start) a "First Founding" set of emblems and move things around as needed to cover the 18 of the 20 known First Founding emblems.

Then, I'd move on to Second Founding, etc. and eventually the Ultima Founding. I won't get every single emblem - that would be insane - but any founding list that has at least six or seven decent emblems I can work on, I'll try to work through.

As always, no promises... but I'll have myself a look.

Anyway, thank you a lot for your hard work !

Sorry, my messages were not too clear!
I'm talking about the emblems of the space marine legions during the horus heresy, see just before.

Indeed, the loyalist legions like the Ultramarines or the Blood Angels kept the same heraldry, but the traitor legions had different symbols than the Chaos space marines :)

The links are indeed not great but the book on the other hand is official! Unfortunately there is not really a site that gathers all the heraldics in one place like in the book :/ You need the info everywhere which is restricting!

Here is a link to see the symbols of the Thousand legion :
https://www.reddit.com/r/ThousandSons/comments/wb1e33/crusade_and_heresy_era_heraldry_of_the_thousand/

I'm looking for a site ;)

From what I can see, the Pre-Heresy emblems match the Post-Heresy emblems. If this is the case, then Thousand Suns, Emperor's Children, etc, are all already in the mods under Chaos Marines.

Also, Pintrest is hardly an official source (though the books in the picture might be), but I can't see the emblems well enough due to glare on the pages to do anything with them regardless.

Just making sure I understand - We're talking the First Founding versions of them, yes?

Yes sur ! For exemple for the Thousand son Legion : https://www.pinterest.fr/pin/778982066766813192/

There are similar images for the other legions suggested just below :)

Give me some links to official sources, and I'll have a look.

Just awesome man ! I really appreciate your work :D Hope to see some pre-heresy symbol if possible ;)

V 1.20 for Stellaris 3.*

- UPDATE NOTES -

* Twelve new Tau Sept Emblems: Au'taal, Elsy'eir, Fal'shia, Fe'saan, Fi'rios, Ke'lshan, Kor'tal, Mu'gultath Bay, N'dras, Tash'var, Vash'ya, and Yo'vai.

I am considering doing another pass on the Astartes emblems to give them a more unique look - currently, they use a circle around the emblem, which is very similar to the Tau. Instead, I will be looking at using an outline more similar to the Marine pauldrons, which I see many websites and image sources also use.

The next few updates will likely not add any new ones, but just redo those in a new style. Once that's done, I'll look to see if there are other new ones or new styles that need doing.

V 1.19 for Stellaris 3.*

- UPDATE NOTES -

* One new Necron Dynasty: Maynarkh.

* One new Ork Klan: Kult of Speed.

Note that the Kult of Speed is not, technically, a Klan, but they are one of the few groups that the Orks have at all, so I'm calling it that for the purposes of the mod.

V 1.18 for Stellaris 3.*

- UPDATE NOTES -

* Four new Chaos Knight Houses: Atrax, Caecerean, Malinax, and Mandrakor

V 1.17 for Stellaris 3.*

- UPDATE NOTES -

* Five new Harlequin Masque Emblems: Dance Without End, Reaper's Mirth, Shattered Mirage, Twisted Path, and Weeping Dawn.

V 1.16 for Stellaris 3.*

- UPDATE NOTES -

* Three new GeneStealer Cult Emblems: Behemoid, Innerwyrm, and Sons of Jormangander.

V 1.15 for Stellaris 3.*

- UPDATE NOTES -

* Five new Aeldari Craftworld Emblems: Altansar, Il'Kaithe, Kaelor, Mymeara, and Yme-loc.

If I could add, that number would be 31. That's what I get for being up late.

Inspired by the work I did yesterday, I've been scouring the net looking for some new ones to get made up and deliver. No promises, of course, but here's what I've found to take a look at:

1 Necron Dynasty
12 Tau Septs
1 Ork Klan
4 Chaos Knight Houses (will equal the Imperial Knights in number)
5 Harlequin Masques
3 Genestealer Cults
5 Aeldari Craftworlds (will equal Drukhari in number).

That should be about 21 more emblems on their way. I also spotted a few more Sororitas emblems, but I'm hesitant to do those, as they tend to have a lot of fine detail that doesn't show well in game. I'm thinking about them though - another five or six there potentially. I'm holding off on adding any new Marine chapters, mostly because I want to get a good across-the-board collection from all possible factions before getting into the lesser known or derivative legions.

Comments, as always, welcome.

Version 1.14 has been released, marking the first major content update in well over a year. 12 new emblems and one reworked/corrected emblem have been added.

Thanks to Metallican for pointing out an entire Faction I hadn't been aware of (and taking me down the rabbit hole of emblems once again) - the League of Votann's inclusion is entirely their fault.

Additional thanks to Ducc_emp for pointing out the error in the Imperial Aquilla back in November of 2021. For some reason, I never got around to fixing it.

Further thanks to RA2Phoenix on the Lexy's LOTD Discord for pointing out Triplex Phall and Voss emblems, as well as T'au, D'yanoi, Ks'm'yi, Vior'la, and T'olku Septs in August of 2021, which I also never did for some reason.

Update to previous post:

Now that I am aware of Votann, I did some research. The next update (no ETA, but I'm working...) will have an entire new category, The League of Votann. This will include six additional emblems as well: Ghulo Industiral Complex, Greater Thurian Alliance, Kronus Hegemony, Trans-Hyperian Alliance, Urani-Syrtr Regulates, and the Ymyr Conglomerate.

This may be a day or more away, but hey - more emblems!

it's just a joke phrase, no offense intended

@Metallican: Courtesy when?

That said, now that I know about them, I have a copy of the emblem. That and two more Tau emblems in the near-ish future. Life's been a tad busy of late.

FOR THE EMPEROR!

Thank you kindly for this, good sir! The Emperor Protects.

As I understand it, not something I can control. If the emblems are in the game, they are available for all Empires to use. Empires themselves can be set to player-only, but I don't believe that's the case for Emblems and Flag backgrounds. There certainly isn't any config file I've seen that suggests otherwise, anyhow.

No problem, If I could make one suggestion next time to are able to update it, could you set it so the ai does not spawn with them. It kinda pulls the immersion out when you see random xenos using some of these emblems in a game.
