Emperor's Children Custom Transfers



I just received my order of custom waterslide transfers and they turned out awesome. The original Forge World variety that I first purchased when I started my army are long discontinued (much to my frustration) and it's hard to come by them on eBay and if you do they sell easily for over double of what they used to sell for.

Comparison of FW vs custom

The company that I used is called Bedlam Creations and they sell a variety of transfers. If you want a custom order you will pay more, mine cost $48.00 for a 6x8 sheet, but it should provide me with enough decals to complete out my army. The turn around time was decent at around 3 weeks from ordering to receiving.

I am impressed with their gold ink, which matches well compared to the existing decals I already applied. One thing that I noticed is they are more fragile than the FW variety so more care needs to be taken when applying. I also like to use Microsol to help my decals conform to their surface, which I was able to use on my Bedlam decals without an issue.


This is the sample I used when sending to the printer. The sheet sent to me contained four of these.

  1. Total long shot...but would you be willing the share the scan of the decal sheet you sent over to Bedlam? I would love to get my hands on these transfers because as you mentioned the official ones are absolute unobtainium.

    1. Not a long shot at all. Someone from the NW 30K community shared the initial design with me so I in turn have been sharing it with anyone who asks. Please PM me an e-mail that I can send an attachment to. I should be able to send something over later this evening.

    1. Hmmm. I'm having trouble finding a direct way to send you any files via Blogger. I sent you a friend request via steam. Send me a PM with e-mail address through there.

  4. Hi, also having some trouble trying to PM you on Blogger. Let me know if there's any way I could get the scan too, these are better than any other custom decals I've found for the Legion!

  5. Hi, not to seem like a parrot to everyone above me but I've been searching high and low for transfers and have hit the same roadblocks as everyone else here. Would it be at all possible to get a copy of the scan as well? It would make such a difference to be able to put these onto my models.

    1. Sorry, I posted the above comment without logging in. I'm on steam as the same user name as here if that would be the easiest way to contact?
