I originally made a heraldry sheet for the Celestial Lions and decided to make one for the Emperor Spears too! I've been looking for sources online, through reddit, art and chatting the past 4 days since posting about the Heraldry and finally finished it.

The heraldry sheet uses ideas both from lore and from fan interpretations

The fan made details: Left Greave Markings - Online transfer sheets Seal markings - Online Miniatures Druid Designs

Canon details: Left Greave Markings - Celestial Lions badge and Left Greave markings for Personal heraldry Paragon details Capes All Rank names Seals - Index Astartes Left Greave - Manticore Symbol

As well as some personal interpretations and designs: Manticore symbol variant Symbol of the forge-moon Bellona

Since I practically scrapped all this together, there are surely mistakes in this and I'd more than appreciate if it were called out so I could potentially update the information or help people understand the heraldry rules better when they check the post.

The things I suspect most to have mistakes is: Druids Paragons

I made the original and revamped version of the Heraldry Sheet due to how difficult researching heraldry in one place was. But after the first two versions I had too much free time and decided to update it one last time, this time using more reference from Black Templar and Imperial Fist heraldry sheets online and including more such as the Sentinels of the Veil, Black Templar Iconography and Emperors Spears to make it more full and less empty than what I had originally posted.

The Heraldry Sheet uses alot of inspiration from the community with miniatures and fan art, such as:

• Chest Aquillas ( Blue and White )
• Company Markings for Greaves (3rd Company)
• Seal Designs
• Golden Iconography meaning
• Techmarine ( Ironweaver )
• Tribal Pattern

Reference from the Warhammer40k Fandom:

• Four Pointed Star

Blood and Fire:

• Constellation Patterns
• Prideleaders and Veteran Sargeants with Black Helmets
• Yellow Lenses

And some by my personal interpretations and designs for the heraldry sheet, such as:

• Seal designs with reference to Black Templars
• Manticore Symbol
• Lion head variant
• Company greave markings
• Companies represented by greave markings based on the Blood and Fire art.
• The Title

After spending alot of time on this, I feel satisfied with the finished image and don't plan on updating or making another post like this

This is my interpretation of Celestial Lions heraldry so feel free to do however you want with them and if you notice mistakes or have any questions, feel free to point them out so people can know in the comments. ✊🏾🦁

This is an updated version of the heraldry sheet I made almost a month ago and like the first post, I made my own heraldry sheet due to how difficult it felt to research and understand Celestial Lion Heraldry from it being too spread apart in different sources or almost being non existent in a singular search. So I decided to make it into a singular image similar to an official heraldry sheet to make it easier for others who may be interested in the Chapter.

The sheet includes fan made features based on fan art , miniatures and online posts such as:

• The color of the chest aquilla ( Blue and White )
• Company markings for greaves ( 3rd Company )
• Golden Iconography
• Techmarine (Iron weaver)

With choosing greave markings over trims by using the art of a Celestial Lion from Blood and Fire as reference for the 2nd Company and the same with the yellow lenses, which also explains a mention of constellations and stars in the 40k Random wiki.

It may not be a major upgrade to the original post, but I hope it does it's job on helping more easy understanding on Celestial Lions heraldry. But feel free to do whatever you want with your lions as it's just my own take on the heraldry. ✊🏾🦁
