About Lamenters

Hi everybody, after 3 tries with the BA, I am planning to build a small Lamenters' battleforce ( 2500 points will be the final goal). Can I use the DC kit or they are too linked with BA? I am planning to mix all kits, DC, tactical/assault marines and SG. S.one can help me?

Thanks guys..

I won't use the BA helmet scheme (red for tactical marine, yellow for assault marine, blue devastator and golden for veterans)..

 

BA uses standard codex organization for the ten companies but they have a specific heraldry, they, for example, don't use the trim colour to show companies but uses a tear. Another example, squad designation is shown by a symbol on the knee (don't remeber wich one is).. Due to olieedan advice, i'll use this heraldry for the furthcoming Lamenters..

Forge World Badab War Lamenters use their own system of markings different than the blood angels and closer to codex chapters. They usually wear their company number on the right shoulder or left/right knee plate and their squad marking in the same places. These are interchanged or together. Sergeants and Veterans have a helmet stripe down the middle. The Blood Angels codex Lamenters are similar except with company and squad marking both on the right shoulder and the squad color (similar to helmet color for BA) on the left knee.

This would be a Veteran Sergeant of a 5th Company Assault Squad

This is a Battle Brother of a 5th Company Assault Squad

This would be a Battle Brother of the 5th Company Tactical Squad (notice the red knee plate similar to BA red helmets)

 

Pre and post Badab war Lamenters, never being close to full strength, are quite fluid in their organization so it would be common to have squads from multiple companies in the same force.

 

Hope this helps.

Yeah I know, I have IA IX :P but in the BA Codex (Italian version) is written :" BA created a lot of successor chapters, that follow their heraldry scheme, except Vampires (Blood Drinkers in english) that follow the standard codex schemes".

 

I'll probably use the BA hereldry, for 2 main reasons..First one: I bought 20 shoulder pads with the tear :)

Second one: I like BA heraldry scheme..

 

Ah, BC ritter, thank you, I know now how to show the tactical, devastator and assault designation :)

Never think about the left knee :)

Hi again fellow sons of Sanguinius..

 

In this very long project I have encountered another enemy :)

 

THE HONOR GUARD :)

 

I have to build the command squad for Lorenzo Aaro Volturno my 3rd Company Captain..

I planned to mix together the SG box with the Dc one and the command squad one..

Option 1: Chests from the Sg and legs from Dc, oh and also jump packs from the Dc too.

Option 2: chests from the Sg and legs from Sg, while j. p. from the Dc box.

 

Colour scheme: it's simple, gold or yellow? :)

 

Please brothers, help me!

This assumes that:

1) The artist of that picture was operating on the same marking conventions as the later Imperial Armour artist.

 

and

 

2) The guy labelling the pictures in Imperial Armour 9 actually knew what he was doing with the Lamenters and wasn't just playing pin the tail on the donkey like he was with several other chapters.

 

If not then its quite likely the 5 is the squad number and the red kneepad is in fact the company colour, as it is with the Eagle Warriors, Rampagers and Sons of Guilliman.
