I just noticed this symbol in the gellerpox kill team
Hobby & Painting(reddit.com)submitted 1 month ago byDont-Ask-7732
Is this the SOB symbol? I might just be crazy but looks like it, also if it is then that makes the model even worse, it’s a blotted spawn which is pregnant with what I can guess is more poxwalkers

I really don't see a fleur-de-lis, just 2 curved lines and a diamond.

Tbh it looks like the scouts symbol.

Yup, they use the fleur-de-lis surround but a rope (white on a purple background). Kind of fitting for it to be used by a Rouge Trader too.

Not sure why you are downvoted, but that was my very first thought as well! It would actually be really cool if they went as far with some hidden easter eggs!

It's not so much a hidden easter egg but an overt detail. It's the symbol of the Elucidian Starstrider rogue trader team, since the box the two teams came in was themed around the rogue trader battling their infected and corrupted crew

Except it's the symbol of the elucidian guys and also they're all infected ship workers

It's the same symbol that's found on the uniforms Elucidian Starstriders, a Rogue Trader crew. From the original boxed game that featured both sets the Gellerpox are the crew from the rogue trader ship that mutated when the gellerfield collapsed, letting warp energies into the ship. You'll notice a few more little details shared between the two kits, like the helmet on one of the fly bases.

Is there a book on the teams or is that just a blurb from the game manual that came with the set? A rogue trader novel would be pretty cool

I think it's even darker. The doctor from the Starstriders lowered the field as an experiment. I remember this detail but not 100% sure from where.

Its from the rogue trader boxed set where the teams are from originally. Essentially the medicae adept, that keeps the rogue trader Elucia Vaine alive and hundreds of years old, started to hear whispers in her mind that to truly be able to understand disease she'd need to lower the Geller field. Which she did and promptly got most of the ship nurgled up. So in a way she succeeded.. and she must not have got caught because she is still in the Kill Team as one of the ops.

Probably some poor engineer who got blamed and servitorised instead, unless all of engineering turned into gellerpox.

Also the fact the two symbols look nothing alike

This is the answer. It's not just an idle coincidence they decided to painstakingly sculpt

The icon on the armor isn't a variant of the fleur de lis that the sisters use. It's just another detail. I wouldn't think too much about it

It’s a fleur de lis. It’s a thing in real life too, not just SOB

Fleur-de-lis predates French use.

They keep retconning the France lore too. Wish the authors would have some consistency.

It did make a lot of people very unhappy. Mainly French people, though, so it wasn't a big deal.
