Have a look at the attached image which way up should the Chapter icon be A or B, does it matter?

Id vote for A but only on the aesthetic value of looking at them from your own side of the table.

A for me too - although technically it's neither, as the squad indicator should be on the hatches (eg, forward pointing arrow for Tactical, cross for Assault) according to Insignum Astartes ;)

A for the practical reason, that air support is more often going to come from behind (your lines) and it would help their recognition

A for all the reasons listed above and for the cool factor. 8)
Plus it will confuse your enemy, they'll be trying to figure out what the design is while your tac squad pours out to fire on him! :lol:

A - that's the way it's done in real tank and police markings IIRC.
