rpnightsend Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 So I remember reading somewhere (it might actually be the codex), that one Dark Angels successor chapter has their terminators wearing black armor. I was wondering how much of a divergence it is for other successor chapters to not paint their terminator armor white. My chapter is kind of on the fringes of DA successors to begin with, but I'm wondering if they'd be frowned upon for making their terminators match the blue/grey camo of the rest of the chapter. They leave their helments bone white and the symbol of the aquila on their chest dark angels green to mark themselves as Deathwing Terminators.

Brother Immolator Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 The deathwing and thereby the bone white armor are a dark angels formation.The rest of the unforgiven chapters first company have their own similar formations but their names and colours are different.THere is no account of how the succesors paint their 1st company armors except the lions of caliban who have the same colour as the rest of the marines.You can paint your succesors armor any way you want.

Grotsmasha Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 What he said, the Dark Angels Deathwing only painted their armour bone after the Plainsworld incident, which happened well after the second founding, meaning this change will not have had any affect on any of the DA's successor chapters.

rpnightsend Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Ah, I'm relatively new to Dark Angels (about 6 months vs. 7 years of Vanilla Marines and 5 of orks), so I was a bit hazy on that. I thought all successors painted their 1st/2nd companies white/black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 3rd edition codex mentions the how and why of the first companies of the AoA AoV AoR. The AoV retain the black of the old legion and the first company is in all black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpnightsend Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Alright. makes sense guys. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droma Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'll echo what the others have said and say it's your choice. My own DA successor is all black armor with bone details(chest eagle, etc), red chapter symbol, and pure white robes. It's all about what you think is cool and fits with what you're into.
