Xenith Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hi all, I was wondering if there was a defined colour for the TS pre heresy trim? The sabretooth card games had a mix of golden trim and white trim, while newer artwork seems to indicate gold trim - I was wodnering if there was any particular reason for the white? Thanks, Xen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Could be company / Occult markings, like the Ultrasmurfs yellow for the second company, white for the first, pink for the seventh, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 There doesn't seem to be any rule. As you have, I've seen both gold and white. I remember in A Thousand Sons Ahriman referred to their armour as crimson and [insert synonym for white which escapes my memory at the moment. I'll edit after I have chance to reference the novel]. Personally I've gone with gold though might try white for some squads and see how it looks. Gold is easier to paint too :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks for the replies! The gold looks alright, but I also have an iron warriors army, as well as post heresy thousand sons, and thats a lot of gold trim already, and with red and gold, they may look...khorney... Maybe gold shoulderpad trim and white everywhere else? I just like the idea of crimson and white marines, as that's a scheme no others have, iirc, but would want to stick to any official scheme conventions... test model time.

Kizzdougs Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Personally I'm a fan of the gold/crimson scheme. It just seems to fit the mysterious Egyptian sorcerer theme better. If you want to get the bone/white into the colour scheme it can look really good on robes and scrolls (and TSs love robes and scrolls). To stop them looking too Khorny you need to use a spot/contrast colour to make them stand out. I used blue and turquoise on my Pre-heresy TSs. Looking forward to seeing your test mini ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodunius Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Maybe gold shoulderpad trim and white everywhere else? Personally I'm a fan of the opposite: http://www.pa-sy.com/hhccg/images/brotheramsu.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree that turquoise, lapis and jade help to break up the crimson. Though it isn't shown in any artwork that I recall, A Thousand Sons p.544 mentions them all having jade scarabs on their breast-plates, cut from the Reflecting Caves. And I remembered to check the colours reference: crimson and ivory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome. It's from the novel A Thousand Sons. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
