This is the official Howling Griffons Transfer Sheet as approved by the Adeptus Adminstratum.This is the official Howling Griffons Transfer Sheet as approved by the Adeptus Adminstratum.

The sheet was assembled from multiple fonts containing 40K specific symbols as well as some PDFs I found online that contained vector shapes which I extracted using Libre Office Draw.

Using vector shapes and font data is important because any image you will find just will not scale down to be printed at 300 dpi into an area that is supposed to go onto the shoulder pad of a space marine. Especially if that picture is line art of a griffon rampant which has lots of feathers and long fur.

I used Inkjet printable transfer paper bough on amazon and printed on it using the printer setting for photo paper. It took me a few tries to get the resolution that I wanted, but I am quite happy with the outcome.

After printing the paper needs to be sealed with spray varnish and after 24 hours can the be used just like commercial decals. It really works surprisingly well and I can only recommend the process.

 

My next step will be to add decals to all the remaining marines, after which I will post pictures of how the decals actually look on the figures and the by then hopefully finished starter army.
