Glitch85 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hey all Im just getting back into 40k after about 10 years away from it all, got straight back into Blood Angels where I left off. Just got a quick question, was wondering if any of you have done the vanguard vet helmets a different colour other than gold like in the codex. Regards Stu.

Zekk_Sirius Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Well, you could also do them yellow. In heraldic terms, yellow and gold are really interchangeable. There also isn't really a need to identify a Vanguard Squads' "type" because their company symbol should show it easy enough. Two yellow helmeted Assault squads? See the ones with a skull instead of a coloured blood-drop? Vanguard.

JamesI Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I did mine in red (but to be fair, I do all my helmets in red other than Chaplains and DC) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/211643-vanguard-vet-helmets/#findComment-2517892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarpWalker Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Straight up blood angels vets are gold unless your a second founding chapter. But like Zekk said yellow could work. At first glance I'd mistake them for assault marines.

At first glance I'd mistake them for assault marines. I think the ridiculous amount of weapon upgrades would give them away.(unless he's running them fairly bare bones.... but why would you do that?)

WarpWalker Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I agree, you shouldn't run them bare bones. I just said at first glance I would. I hate the gold, yellow and blue helmets. So I did a second founding army so I wouldn't have to deal with 'em.

SnorriSnorrison Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I painted mine yellow. Why, some may ask? It has been the scheme since 3rd Edition, when I started to paint and play Blood Angels. Gold was reserved for Honour Guard only.

Glitch85 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Cheers for the replies I think I'm gonna go with yellow. I'm planning on running them all with 1 lightening claw with the sergeant having a pair.

Gold was reserved for Honour Guard only. Snorri Same here. Vanguard Vets are pretty much close to the old Veteran Assault Squads which traditionally had yellow helmets and Skulls for their chapter symbol as that was the mark of the 1st company. I reserve gold for my honour guards. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/211643-vanguard-vet-helmets/#findComment-2518049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Chris Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Well, they were yellow until April this year and I don't intend to repaint them all to fit in with a bit of poor continuity in the new Codex. I already thought the number of gold helmets was getting silly with the old codex so my foot honour guard are all bare-headed.
