NovaScotius Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hi All, After getting slightly more set in which way I want to go with a paint scheme, I've been looking at Forgeworld Rhino and Land Raider doors... they're purdy! Unfortunately, I don't want to paint my Wolves in the colours of Ragnar Blackmane's Great Company, as I prefer the style of Eric Morkai. I'm a little unsure if the FW doors are supposed to be for Ragnar's Great Company only, or whether they are usable for all Companies? The side doors seem to look like Ragnar's iconography, but the front door looks like Eric Morkai's symbol... do you think I'd get many raised eyebrows if I were to go ahead and slap them on my tanks?

Captain Juan Juarez Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Having had a gander at the Rhino doors, I think the icons are just supposed to be "wolfy" rather than represent any particular Great Company, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195523-forgeworld-doors/#findComment-2327698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulweih Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hi, I have those doors and use them for Ragnar's GC which I'm collecting. If you put them on your tanks I guess it's just going to look awesome. Raised eyebrows?In my experience most foe's could't tell the difference even if we all had company designed doors, they'd just say "oh space wolves" :P . Do as you please, that's what I do and it's even fluffy too.

Night Runner Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 The symbol of Ragnar's company is actually a very common SW icon in general. The codex (or the Forgeworld Space Marine supplement, I forget) also states this, therefore there is no reason not to use it for any Great Company. Just make sure to place a decal or paint in a symbol of the company you are collecting. At least that's what I'm doing.

Ullr Direfang Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 forgive me if i am wrong, but i believe that the design on those doors is supposed to be the Chapter symbol, not ragnar's, i believe there is a slight difference between the two. very slight i know. but as some one who dislikes ragnar, i don't pay much attention to his symbol personally.

Harald sternmark Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 i use these doors on my vehicles, to me they are just generic wolf symbols Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195523-forgeworld-doors/#findComment-2329464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
deedark Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Just at note for those on a budget I used the side doors on my rhinos and the front panels on my pred and whirlwind 1/2 the cost 2 set instead of 4 D.

NovaScotius Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Thanks for the replies guys... going to have to try and get my grimy little hands on some of the doors now! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195523-forgeworld-doors/#findComment-2330264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeddon Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Seems to me that it would depend on the colors you use. In the new codex we can see that most Great Companys banners have a likeness to that particular image. If you're Morkai than paint the wolves black and the background white.
