Honda Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yeah, I know, yellow. Got it. What I am interested in finding out is whether or not other "colors" are adopted for companies. In looking at a lot of fists pics (hey, get out of the gutter), everyone starts with "a" yellow. I do see a lot of black as the accent color. The helmet color for Sgts is red, which I like as that breaks it up a bit. All good and I can do that. What I am curious about is whether, like in 40K, the various companies have differences because they use a different company colors, or in fact they all use black and the differences are handled via unique markings on the pauldrons or knee pads or whatever. So any thoughts on what could be varied and still be Legion appropriate? Thanx in advance and hopefully that isn't too confusing a request.

GrandMagnus Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The different colour trims for different companies is something created in the codex astartes by Guilliman (blessed be his name ;) ). I would say the IF would use numerical or heraldic symbols, it fits their character better. Like Siguismund and his lot would probably bear the BT heraldry. This is atleast how I always thought of it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286273-imperial-fist-color-schemes/#findComment-3582626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Warder Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 keep an eye out on my page, I plan on adding a variation of the Sicarian camo to my army as a campaign honor. I think if you are doing a 30k list you have a ton of chances to make up any reason you want to add any color you choose.

Hyaenidae Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Looking at book 1 and 2, there are very heavy variations in heraldry even within Legions. So, I just said "screw it", and went with something I liked: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286273-imperial-fist-color-schemes/#findComment-3582688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The Templars in the books are described as having one shoulder pad in white with black iconography, opposite the Legion's iconography on the other golden pad, and their black/white robes that I can never remember the names of. The rest is all Imperial Fist. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286273-imperial-fist-color-schemes/#findComment-3582710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 All of the above :D Plus Their FW book is coming soon, so if you really want to be 100% "canon" its only a few weeks away from seeing FWs take on that ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286273-imperial-fist-color-schemes/#findComment-3582736 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigismund's Ghost Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think you just have to go with what you like. Plenty of latitude in a 100k+ legion. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s18/bogusjoe11/Sons%20of%20Horus/beb69f3d991aa451ec05536d9cb97da5_zps2d845888.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286273-imperial-fist-color-schemes/#findComment-3583464 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheForgottenAngel Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 It's the rule of cool man. Forge world colors are suggestions. As long as you're opponent knows what legion they see facing them it's all good!

Thank you for sharing that. Cheers, You are more than welcome brother! Though I hadn't thought of that (Sigismund's company) you can expect the reinforced armor of the destroyer to don a boarding shield and fill the role of breacher squad in my force here in the near future. Given the dim and dark setting of a battle ship under assault you can bet that the same(ish) dark colors will stand!
