I am in the process of painting an obscure Space Marine army of mine called the Storm Giants. Due to having a similar name to the Storm Lords, I was looking to include a campaign badge from either of the aforementioned campaigns. However, I am having trouble finding images online of badges from either campaign. Does anyone know where I can find these badges, or know what they look like?

Having trouble figuring what's a 'campaign badge' - where is it painted on the miniature?– G0BLiNMay 30, 2016 at 14:24

1Also, a quick Google shows these two chapters have a different color scheme: Storm Giants are gold/yellow, with a red lightning insignia on left shoulder (and other selected spots such as their back, helmet etc.), and tactical designation painted red and white on right shoulder. Storm Lords have gold/yellow helmets, armors half red (right) half white (left), with a skull and three lightning insignia on left shoulder and white tactical designation on right. Seems to me it'll be quite difficult to confuse one for the other...– G0BLiNMay 30, 2016 at 15:23

1@G0BLiN - campaign badges are conflict specific identifiers, generally painted on the shoulder pad/greave/knee of space marines, and anywhere on vehicles.– user16341May 31, 2016 at 0:46

Campaign Badges are often conflict, and chapter, specific, and finding any definitive one is proving quite difficult.
From what I can remember of playing the actual 3rd War for Armageddon campaign (showing my age now!), there wasn't an overall Campaign Badge for Imperial Forces, but there were a number of area/region specific badges that were used.
Generally, they are reasonably simple geometric design (i.e. quartered diamonds, triangles etc).
I did find this image showing a Salamanders Librarian with an Armageddon Campaign marking, but whether it's 2nd or 3rd War I don't know, and I know that there's been a bit of discussion about it on Warseer/Dakka.
I will see if I can dig up some more though
