spiros14 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Whilst i was browsing the death company sprues i noticed it seems impossible to make death company without using a BA symbol (notably one of the torsos) so how do you guys, who do 2nd founding chapters, make them, do you use other bitz? ignore it and say they're all techniqually BA anyway, or somthing else?

JamesI Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I just use the bits, but I used them all for Veterans rather than DC anyway. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204448-2nd-founding-death-company/#findComment-2437989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burningblood Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 You can also think of it in this way- the members of the DC think they're Sanguinius. So that could account for Blood Angel Iconography in the DC throughout the second founding chapters.

Droofus Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 The successor chapters of the BA are generally REALLY tight with their founding legion. It wouldn't surprise me if they used some iconography so long as it wasn't in official places like the shoulder pads or company banners. The symbols of the successor chapters generally incorporate pieces of the BA symbol anyway (either a blood drop or wings). Also, it would make sense to display some blood angel iconography on the death company. The death company have visions of themselves as Sanguinius. It seems fitting that they display elements of the original legion. (ninja'd by burningblood!)

Burningblood Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I'm too fast for you droofus. Too fast. float like a butterfly. A demented, weird, misshapen, warp spawned, blood thirsty, carnivorous butterfly. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204448-2nd-founding-death-company/#findComment-2438010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Alternatively - shave it off. I know there's a particular chest plate that's absolutely begging to be blanked and used for conversion, I just havent come up with a suitable conversion yet!

SamaNagol Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I don't use the shoulderpads, and I use parts from the Assault Marines. I try and stay away from anything with wings on it.

SamaNagol Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Flesh Tearers and wings don't go together. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204448-2nd-founding-death-company/#findComment-2438214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Flesh Tearers and wings don't go together. flesh tearers and any ornamentation don't go together, so i guess none of the new models work that well.

daboarder Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 my successors badge is the same as the BA one but with gold wings instead so it doesnt really phase me.

Brother Kovash Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I'll probably just paint the ornamentation a different color when I get around to it. But it's not like we don't already have examples of successor chapters using iconography from the original chapter.
