Can you perhaps provide a link to a picture? Sometimes it helps to see it, or get some additional context to provide the right answer.

Loknir Ironjaw Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Hmm the only thing that comes to mind for me is that perhaps they were of Kjarl Grimblood's Great Company. A tradition in that company is once a Grey Hunter has killed an enemy with flame, he has earned the right to paint his face (Or helmet?) with blood before each battle. Other than that I have no idea.

red_starrise Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I personally paint my blood claws helmets red & grey hunters helmets black to help differentiate between them even more easily. For the same reason I paint the knees (when applicable) black on GH & red on BC. Wolf Guard, Long Fangs & other packs are the same color as their armor. I've painted BC helmets red since 2nd Ed myself. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239271-a-little-help-please/#findComment-2889128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
