Thirdfox Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 1. The sarge's helmet is still green. 2. It's bone white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Deathwing can be any colour ranging from white to bone white depending on what takes your fancy. 'Officially' a bone white is the colour of choice currently used by GW but for my tastes it's a bit creamy. Btw, you can also paint them black and say they're from an era that pre-dates the Plains World incident. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kewl Imp Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I use the Ushibi bone I think is the name with the Seraph brown wash and they come out really well. I use it on any skulls on other models as well.When I get home tonight I will try and upload the pictures of my assault termies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unforgiven2544 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 In my army, sergeants have white laurel leaves on their helmets. Veteran Sergeants have white helmets with green laurels. The rule of cool can be used to enhance and augment the existing fluff. Just try to be consistent about it. :huh: Very Respectfully, --Unforgiven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodunius Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 There's never been an outright statement about how DA denote sergeants (excluding 1st edition, where sergeants had white chapter badges whilst the rank and file had yellow) but if memory serves all the DA sergeants in Angels of Death had a winged skull on their helmet - red skull (codex rank emblem for sergeant) with white wings. Terminology note: squad leader is an obsolete rank separate to that of sergeant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 To give them a little something to stand out on the battlefield, I used the robed models to represent the sergeants in each squad. This makes them stand out a little more, even with their special weapon load out. Also, I've painted all my Deathwing use a bleached bone color, so they're not white but are unmistakably bone colored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 ... if memory serves all the DA sergeants in Angels of Death had a winged skull on their helmet - red skull (codex rank emblem for sergeant) with white wings. I salute your memory sir! I'd never even noticed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 To give them a little something to stand out on the battlefield, I used the robed models to represent the sergeants in each squad. Same here...at least for tactical squads. Except for the two robed tactical squads...their sergeants are robe-less. And devastator sergeants are robeless, too.

I used a robed model to represent my Devastator Sergeant. Also for my Ravenwing, I used the robed models that come with the Ravenwing Bike Squadron. I was working on a Veterans Squad and was using robed models for them as well, but that plan went on the back burner until I finish my current projects.

BERZERKER! Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm toying with the idea of painting my vets helmets white, and terminator helmets red. I think it's fine to paint these things however you want, as long as you're clear what each thing means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahazar Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks for the info. Next question which color in GWs paint set is bone white. I already painted them bleached bone before I posted so I'm just going to dry brush over it but is bone white is is white with a little grey to it or what.

Cypher 102 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 According to the Citadel Paint Conversion Chart Bleached Bone is now Ushabti Bone. However they may not be exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg033 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 the bone on this is painted in the current GW bone scheme (i didnt use the 'dry' much at all so if you wanted you could skip this entirely) (need better lighting/flash - sorry) i'd argue this is less 'creamy' than bleached bone based armour - in the flesh it looks more of a realistic bone colour.

Drahazar Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 So you ued all the colors in tue bone paint scheme or did you skip some the non bleached bone looks really good I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg033 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 i followed the GW scheme entrely to see what it looked like though i was very sparing with the 'dry', using it mainly on the hard updard facing edges at the front of the model this was a pretty fast test model (excluding drying time for the shade) which i think shows but it wouldnt take a lot longer to have been a bit more careful. i'm slowly tidying it up along side my path to redepemption AoV squad as i do the appropriate colours on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
