Killing bears with beamweapons is a bit overkill, though.
No such thing.
Considering there must be something left of the bear to make a coat, I think there is an overkill in this instance.

While it's artistically and technically well-done, for the first time I gotta say I'm not sure I'd wear that as a unit patch - it's so...cheerful!

  • Do try it.
I'm going to agree with Battuta there. It's very well done artistically, but it doesn't strike me as menacing enough for a unit patch. It doesn't make me feel that "My squadron's a bunch of tough mother****ers who eat, sleep, and fight together to the bloody end. And when the Feds close in for bayonets and grenades, we'll **** them right up back to Earth."

True. It looks good, but it really doesn't belong in War in Heaven

Indeed, something like this would be more fitting for a fighter squadron (it actually is from the USAF, so yeah)

Yeah, but every single Logo with a tiger on it looks like this.. i wanted something different. Besides, who said that Unit Badges can't be cheerful?

It doesn't fit the GTVA - the GTVA logo would be like those ones, fearsome and very much militaristic. That looks cheerful enough to be a fed logo
Full Auto - I've got a bullet here with your name on it, and I'm going to keep firing until I find out which one it is.

Ah, but maybe that's the tactic - lure the enemy in with your cuddly kittenlogo, then smash them when they're lulled in by the nice tiger. Psychological warfare at its best!

Yeah, I can see it working. Put a Fenris with the badge and when UEF frigates jump in, send in a couple destroyers.

It's a bit more bloodsucking than bloodletting and i couldn't come up with a good slogan.

Maybe a blood-dripping scalpel instead?

I think it's pretty cool. Scalpel works too.

I think, the teeth are more menacing. Besides, the Bloodletters don't really strike me as a surgical option or anything.

I didn't mean *some* blood on a scalpel.  I meant a scalpel covered in enough blood to make Quentin Tarantino jealous.  Perhaps "dripping" was the wrong word and I should have used "cascading blood like a waterfall".

That wouldn't look good, trust me on this. Maybe on a knife... or a dagger. Actually, a dagger would work. Implies backstabbing and all that.
Still, i'll stay with the teeth for now.

I think chainsaws are effective at bloodletting. I can't remember what the bloodletters fly, so maybe that doesn't fit well. Leeches/lamprey maybe? Yeah. Lamprey with oversized chainsaw teeth.

Appreciate the 长江 :D

Maybe some 40K reference (maybe it's still on 200 years from now...).  :)

For example, head of this daemon with fangs dripping with blood.
Or a Hellblade.

We could also totally miss the point and have a letter written in dark red ink.
