Thunder_god Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi all. What was the color scheme of the Deathwing before the bone white days? I know the story of how the armor came to be coated in ashes, but was the base colors black, much akin to the pre-heresy colors? I ask, b/c I'm going to make a small Deathwing force to ally with my archaic/heresey era Wolves. The uneasy (or was it allies of convienence?) rule is perfectly in character for the two forces. All-in-all, thank you for the info & replies. I will post WIP shots as the models come together.

Russ Brother 92 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 perfect - means I can do my DW in the old Legion Black/Red whilst my army/greenwing is in Bone/Green Emblems :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269421-pre-bone-white-deathwing-color-query/#findComment-3281478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleqvin Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Well there is some slight variance. There is a chance that GW will say for certain that it's white. There was an Index Astartes from a bout a 8 years ago that said it was White Iconography. Most people go with the old RT pics of the DA TDA in black with red Icon. This we won't know for sure untill FW HH book comes out or BL says more on Iconography color from HH books. I go with Red personally. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269421-pre-bone-white-deathwing-color-query/#findComment-3281500 Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I reckon we will get both red and white iconography in the FW book ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269421-pre-bone-white-deathwing-color-query/#findComment-3281508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garath Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Perhaps you might find the codex named "Angles on death"-2nd ed. somewhere on the net..
