Skirax Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hey guys I'm painting some pre-Heresy Dark Angels from the Dark Vengeance set for a wargaming club, and I have some questions. Tacticals - I've painted these black with green inlays on the shoulder pads, red bolters, white insignia - is this right? Terminators - I'm going down the "Favoured" route and painting them mainly green with red and white imagery - again, right? Bikes - I remember reading that the "Ravenwing" still existed but only as a reflection of The Order's cavalry ranks, not as Fallen hunters - same colours as 40k? Captain - similar to Terminators. Librarian - Blue? Or just green with a blue shoulder pad? Or black, with green and blue shoulder pads?

Onisuzume Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 As for the green inlays on the tacticals, dunno. Chapter/Company markings are either white or red (rogue trader style). Terminators should be black as well, afaik, since the Deathwing short story mentions them applying the white ashes over their black armour, which had thus far been unchanged since the HH. Ravenwing still follows their HH-era colours in 40k, so... Captains would be similar to the rest, afaik. As for the libbies; what reason would they have to be blue or have blue on them? The codex doesn't exist yet, or if it does, its still WiP or unreleased. Ergo, the libbies would probably follow the same colour style as the rest of the legion.

Razblood Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Onisuzume has it pretty much right. This WIP log by Brother Captain Lucian is a good example of Pre Heresy/Heresy Era DA colours. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269199-pre-heresy-dark-angels-scimitar-jetbike/ Just remember, they all wear black ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273515-dark-angels-colours/#findComment-3339631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirax Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks guys, I've painted the Terminators as green already and since the deadline is just a few days away, I'm running with it. Your advice on the others' colours has been incredibly useful though, thank you very much.
