toaae Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 So, I'm going down the road of making a DC army. It's not going to be all DC, though, and that means I have to incorporate "regular" Blood Angels with the Death Company. My question is, what can I do to unite the army in painting scheme? I'm thinking black shoulderpads, with the left one having a red BA logo, and the right one having the red saltires (the Xs the DC use all over), as well as black knees with red Xs (where the squad symbol would go). And then, I would paint the DC rhinos' hulls mostly black with some red thrown in (instead of all black), while the Preds would be inverted of that. And what about fluff? I want to go with something like this: When a large number of Blood Angels fall to the Black Rage in a single warzone, the loss felt by the Sons of Sanguinius is too much to simply use the Death Company as a single strike squad. Astorath will organize the Death Company into a strike force supported by battle-brothers that still retain their sanity. These Blood Angels will bear the emblems of the Death Company in solidarity with their fallen battle-brothers. Thoughts? Any other ideas of how I can make a more cohesive force with this theme? I'm looking to break up all the red of regular BA, but I still want all of this strikeforce to be able to seamlessly fit in with the rest of my BA.

AustonT Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 There is in fact a canon reference to an entire company going DC. So you're good there. As far as tue exact text, I'm on my phone so I can't link it to you it's in the second astronomican. If you want non DC models as part of a pseudo DC strike for e try making the crosses gold or yellow instead of red. More of a subtle difference.

LordCommanderSamirus Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Are you doing a Blood Angels army or would you be open to a successor chapter? -Samirus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/240352-making-a-dc-army/#findComment-2901237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
toaae Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 It's Blood Angels. I would like to keep it matching the rest of my models. Though, with this whole "Final Battle" thing our new codex has us heading for, the idea of Astorath and Lemartes leading the combined Death Company of all of the successor chapters does seem really cool... But that would be for another time, and for an apocalypse game I feel. This is about a Blood Angels Death Company strike force.
