whiteraven17708 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi guys, I have a large collection of Dark Angels that i have painted into a black and bleached bone scheme now that I want to change to a Disciples of Caliban, my question is alot of those have the "sword and wing" on them iconagraphy of the troops, banners, land raider doors etc. Do I need to buy new models? get to shaving that insignia off? or just role with it and paint the logo white? what do you fellow angels think?

Chaplain Lucifer Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Well, Each chapter has it's own iconography/heraldry. despite being a sucessor The disciples of caliban have their own history and deeds. IF you want to be 100% correct your DOC shouldn't bear the winged sword icons. Nothing wrong wit the angelic Icons.. but I guess a few winged swords here and there won't do any harm. my 2 cents.

Brother Kovash Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 If the icons are really prominent, you might want to consider picking up or borrowing a dremel to essentially grind the iconography off of your tanks. For your troops themselves, careful work with a plastic cutter and hobby knife will get the job done.

EPK Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I agree with what the above two posts. Minor winged sword icons on the torso, backpack or trinkets could simply be said to be in honor of their parent legion/chapter. Armor is passed down through the generations and onto successor chapters in some cases, so it's likely some of those details may remain. The banners and LR door I might consider redoing. You can probably pry the icon off the LR and replace with an angelic icon.

HiveFleetEzekial Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Could just do like I did to save time/effort. Paint all the wings dark grey, like they did in the few color pictures they gave us in the book. (this goes for all kinds of wings, imo, for DoC. atleast mine) Which decals/transfers were you refering to on this site? To my knowledge, there are no 'pre-made' ones currently. And knowing GW, they probably wont be making any of them any time soon. Got any samples of how your own efforts on decals has gone? Or some details about what went 'wrong' with them.
