I’ve been busy creating Scythes of the Emperor icon art that matches the icons used on all the Scythes of the Emperor novel covers and short stories of late.
I’ve chosen a sun yellow (Pantone 7-8c) as the colour (CMYK coated), setting the scaling from vehicles down to scouts. I’ll be doing a test print this week and then uploading when I’m satisfied they’re worth your while :)
Thanks for visiting!

Hey Sebastian,
Im going to start collecting Scythes with the new Primaris Marines, and these transfers look amazing. Will you be releasing these for everyone to use or selling them at all?
Because I need them in my life!

Hi Joe :)
Thanks for stopping by the site! As for the transfers, I am working with a friend using a special type of printer to ensure the yellow covers over black just right. There are some online hobby companies that offer a printing service but it is very expensive for NZD vs USD costs.
Depending on how many I need to run for the first printing, I may have more than I need, so I will post about that offer. Additionally, I will upload the Transfer Sheet template for everyone to get printed locally themselves, once I am very sure the decals work for my Sothan Brothers out there ;)
Hey Sebastian,
I live in the UK and I know a few companies that can print transfers and such out for people who have designs. I mean if you were to publish the design page that is what I would do, I would of course pay for all the effort you made to make the designs.

Hi Joseph, I’ve got a printer producing the test batch – we shall see if I’ve solved the yellow over black issue for our Sothan Brothers! ;)
Hi Sebastian,
same here – I`m going to paint my Primaris Marines as Scythes, and that transfer sheet would really come in handy! Would be great if I could buy one or two of those from you.
Cheers will do Alex! I just mentioned to Joseph, test batch is being printed and I’ll be checking if we have solved Yellow over black, a notorious decal issue :)
Also, they will be available for download for free – plus, details on the best method to get them printed. As all decal printers use the same inks, the ink choice and preparation is what will make the difference for our Scythes! :D
Any updates on these?
I really like the new style of logo and would love to replace my iffy hand painted ones :)
Hi Spardin, I’ve got a couple of tweaks to do according to my printer – shall release them this week for you to use however you please! :D
First and foremost awesome job! I would also like to know when they are ready to be printed. Been wanting to do Scythes of the Emperor every since the Space Marine game came out for the 360.
Thank you! I’m finalising them today. Yeah, that Space Marine game really captured SM for me too :)
This can be difficult, but have you tried reprinting the over the top of your yellow?
Also, let me know and I can ship them to you from US company to save you $$
Aye it has been – I’ve printed the yellow over the white base print successfully, but do you mean to reprint again the yellow over top of the.. yellow? :)
