paolo1023 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Like i said, this is probably a really nooby question but, does a chaplain's armour HAVE to be black? Or would they re paint their armour to match their chapter's? Thanks in advance :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228828-chaplain-armour/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yourius Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 well if your happier of painting it in your own colours than who stopping you ? But normally they only paint their right should in the original colour and the rest black if I'm not mistaken. and chaplain's got skull helmets so I don't think they'll be mistaken for something else any time soon if their not painted black.

Thanks in advance :( Yes, by BG stuff the Chaplains' armours have to be black, to render and show the mouring of Emperor's suffering, as the skull-mask does. In order not to offend the armour spirit, they leave their right should of the Chapter's colours.

puck Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 The short answer is: "they're your models paint them how ever you darn well feel". If you don't feel your chaplain will stand out enough you can sculpt a robe or cape on him and paint it black. I'm doing this with a terminator librarian model and am planning to do this with a chaplain as well.

Solid Zaku Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 As long as there's something visibly black on his armor, I don't see the big fuss. Remember though, nothing says, "I mourn for the Emperor," like Warlock Purple and Dwarf Flesh pink under a globby white undercoat.

Conandoodle Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Brother .. paint it how you want. As long as the appropriate wargear is represented and your opponent can clearly identify the model as a Chaplain then you're in the green. My Chaplain is camo green to match my army. He does have black borders on the shoulder pads though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228828-chaplain-armour/#findComment-2744028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
