Rogue Trader, show us what you've got for the Frost Wraiths! An actual Alpha Legion helm would be out of the question, in my mind. Though the knowledge of the traitor legions has dwindled over the millennia, I'm sure everyone knew who they were during the Great Scouring (post Heresy). Still though, the old Anargo crest could have displayed an AL helm, which could have been changed to a FrostWraith helm post heresy. Kind of like how 24th of december was changed from the Sun festival to christmas Alright, not exactly like that.... Who is the founder of the sector, zholud? You mean the general/admiral of the Imperial armies from the Great crusade? Hm. Well, it's nice to use ideas from medieval crests and all, but we have to think about how it will all end up looking. Using the crest of a military leader will probably mean something like skull with a sword, lightning bolt, laurels, etc, and with a SM helmet above... and the crests of the subsector on the sides. Not too cool, IMHO.

I agree with Frost bringers helm as a replacement of AL one. As to Admiral Anargo, it was IIRC Kage answer on my question why the sector called Anargo. And he can have non-military theme there, after all Joanne d’Arc had lily on her, not sword ;D

Frostbringers sound like a refrigerator repair company, or maybe an ice cream truck company. "Beware, citizen, lest the Frostbringers hunt you down and give you..... a frosty cold Coca Cola! Muahahah...." I mean, what are the "Frostbringers" gonna do to you? Take off your jacket when its kind of chilly? Maybe sneak over to your house on a winter night and open all the windows? Hah! PS: Apologies in advance to the ones I have offended.

PS: Apologies in advance to the ones I have offended. You’ve offended Emperor’s Finest, Angels of Death! So wait for retribution. Seriously, I guess we’ll make a poll on relevant Thread… now back to crest. What do you think about usage of last Russian Empire approach? It was two-headed eagle with large crest of Russia and smaller crests around it for “provinces”. I’ll post it is I find a copy.
