TRIBUN Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hi, I've heard that for the heresy era there was an alternative colour scheme for the imperial fists. It was mostly grey or silver with only parts of the armour painted in golden yellow instead of overall yellow: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/5/57/IF_VII_Legion_Vet.jpg Can you tell me something about the background of this alternative, who used it and why? where can I see another examples? Thanks!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330738-imperial-fists-alternative-colour-scheme/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I think that scheme was used during the Unification Wars and afterwards until Dorn was found, the grey being the standard unpainted ceramite of the young proto-legions, the gold being representative of their roles as honourable yet firm custodians of this glorious new Imperium, it's also around this time they earned the name of Imperial Fists as they put down a cubic F-ton of would-be rebellions that thought they could rise again with the passing of the Imperium's main forces to as yet unconquered foes.

Jackalwolf Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Yes, that's the pre-Dorn scheme, but since legions are quite large, you can make the fluff of your own company that kept it as a tribute to the original legion.

lionofjudah Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I like to throw that paint job on a random veteran or 2- one- it denotes a Fist that's Terran born and been around many blocks, two-it breaks up the monotony of painting all the glorious yellow;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330738-imperial-fists-alternative-colour-scheme/#findComment-4650339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
