chaplainmikey Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hi, I'm currently building an Emperor's Children army and after the recent FW hours Heresy model reveals i'm looking to either start a Pre-Heresy army or looking to add some of the new kits into my army as the legion after the Heresy. What i'm wondering isif anybody has any idea of howlong after the siege of Terra the Legions, EC in particular changed thier Legionnal colours? Can I get away with having some of my models in post Heresy colours whilst others are wearing the previous purple (maybe those most loyal and close to Fulgrim?)? I'm interested to hear people's thoughts. Mike.

Olis Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Let's see. The Word Bearers changed their colours during the heresy (The First Heretic, Know No Fear), the Black Legion changed their colours after the Heresy, once Horus was dead, the Thousand Sons colours haven't yet been depicted in another colour scheme except their Crusade colours so it's up in the air as to whether or not their colours change after the Heresy, the World Eaters have their colours change during the Heresy (I think) and the Emperor's Children, I think, changed when they fell but it was a personal thing to start with (The Primarchs) so some of the Legionnaires could conceivably still be in pre-Heresy colours. As to having models in differing schemes, I'd say it's your army, you do what you like. Just don't get silly about it. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261521-how-long-after-the-heresy-did-the-traitors-change-colours/#findComment-3182320 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colossus Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 That's one thing I've disliked about the EC, they've always had a fairly uniform colour scheme on the table top, but are frequently described as a riot of clashing colours in fluff. Although, I will admit this wouldn't translate too well to painting. I would imagine there would be some EC that have retained their colours, some with splashes of other colours, right through to the Noise Marines with their colour craziness.

FallenArtist Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Well in Fulgrim you already started to have some marines painting wearing bright colors and crazy patterns during the Drop Site Massacre of Istvaan V. I think ,like Olisredan stated, that it was more of a personal choice for some of the legion to change its colors so in my mind its completely possible that there are marines runnning around in the old color either just because they want to or maybe as a mockery to loyalist. Just my thoughts on the matter though hope it helps.

Vodunius Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 the Thousand Sons colours haven't yet been depicted in another colour scheme except their Crusade colours so it's up in the air as to whether or not their colours change after the Heresy Collected Visions has a picture (the Red Angel picture if memory serves) of the traitors gathered before/at the Siege of Terra, the Thousand Sons were warping from red to blue in the picture.

Fair point, brother. I'll concede on that (I'd forgotten about that picture).

Onejackshort Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Some of the paint schemes on the EC in the late 80's early 90's had them in leopard skin paterns and fluro pinks they where crazy. Try searching for pics of the original noise marine models.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 An army painted like that would be a sight to see, painfull but impressive to see. I really like the zebra helmet, If I ever do a Noise marine squad, the champion at least will get it.
