Redfinger Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 So normal assault squads are red with yellow helmets, so I was thinking of making my vangaurds yellow with red helmets. Black is taken by death company, white are my priests, and the whole gold things is for Dante and the guard...soooo what other options are there? Thoughts, suggestions?

Brother-Captain Devlonir Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Gold helmets have always been for non-terminator veterans of the Blood Angels. So just give them either gold helmets to show they are veterans of the first company, or yellow helmets if they are just very experienced assault marines and not yet of the first company. Yellow, you will indeed regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfey Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 In the codex they're red with Gold helmets, or how about Gold with Red helmets? Or white helmets? Though i think our SPs use that scheme. I agree with Morollan though, All yellow will be a pain :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagner Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I had the same dilemma. And couldn't wrap my head around gold helmets. So I modeled my vets as the only guys without helmets. They are so tough they don't need helmets :P . And if everybody else has helmets in the army(except some HQ-s) it looks really awesome. Hope that gave you some ideas. Cheers, Wagner.

Redo Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Yellow can be a very tricky colour to paint well. Also in the codex the veterans have red armour with gold helmets. Personally I think that it looks great, adds status and is rather easy to paint. I use shining gold and have used a chesnut ink as a wash. I am not sure which of the new washes would suit better but they helmets look solid. Oh...I hate yellow so much that Regular Assault Marines have plain old red, come to think of it, not really a fan of blue either and my Devastators all have red too. Certainly makes for interchanging between squads easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morollan Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Red armour and gold helmets look pretty good IMO. I have a full 10-man Sternguard squad painted up and they look very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Red armour, gold helm...I was gonna go against it and stick with Yellow helms ala 2nd Edition...But I am really liking the gold look. Really sets them apart from regular assault marines: See below for my WIPs: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPSternguard12.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPAssault4.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPSternguard17.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/WIPVanguard58.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramis_the_Red Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Don't do it man! Yellow is not the blood angels way! If you paint them yellow, they'll... they'll look like... **gasp** Imperial fists! You can't do that to them brother! They're the elite of the sons of Sanguinius, not some yellow wussified dornians!
