I wondered whether tunnelers (whether shooting or transporting) should
take an extra turn showing up at their targets. But I'm not very
familiar with any of the tunneling rules, so I won't propose anything.
I'll just convert all my minis.

I hate banners. I'm using some of the infantry guys molded with
banners, and have painted one for Eldar (some generic eldar-looking
design). I'd like a decal or something for the Space Marine banner guy,
but I haven't found anything I liked. I have not put banners on titans
or vehicles. No insignia, either. The main reason I've avoided
insignia is not wanting to group my forces too much, when I don't have a
standard army organization. I'd like to be able to change my
detachments around. Also, I consider doing such detail work a prime way
to let my painting skills screw up a figure. :-)
But I do paint my marines. They're a light green washed with dark green
(Ral Partha paints Shamrock Green and Forest Green). I originally was
going to make them a chapter called Dragon Marines or something similar,
but don't have much motivation to do that at the moment.
