Emperor's Furor Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I was wondering is it stated any where when the World Eaters reversed their colour scheme, so that it was primarily white with blue pads rather than the blue with white pads? I was thinking of maybe doing a Warhounds army and was just factoring all the possibilities such as the use of the World Eater models etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289913-when-did-xiith-reverse-their-scheme/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Sometime after they became the World Eaters since the primarily blue scheme is the War Hounds'.

Emperor's Furor Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Didn't the former commander who was in the contemptor retain the old warhound scheme though? and isn't there old rogue trader era images of them being primarily blue but with the world eater logo?

Kol Saresk Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 You mean the guy who has been in a dreadnought since before Angron and still thinks of himself as a War Hound? Yep, he wore the colors of the old Legion. Not sure about Rogue Trader era pictures. Before my time.

Bryan Blaire Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I don't recall having seen an RT image of the World Eaters as mostly blue, but it would be neat if someone could find something like that. The only schemes I've ever seen labeled as "World Eaters" have always been either white with blue pauldrons and various other accoutrements or Khorne-flake red. :) The concept of "Legion" schemes didn't even come about until after RT was almost done/becoming 2nd Edition, and I don't remember anything from that time period talking about "pre-Legion" as even an idea, much less having a scheme for it. It could have been an alternate scheme someone had painted up at the time though. Pretty sure that they reversed coloration when they dropped the War Hounds name in favor of "Eater of Worlds"/World Eaters. The name was suggested by a War Hound after all.

Relict Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 There's a picture of a War Hound wearing the old colors in Betrayal. It's basically the reverse of the GC/HH World Eaters scheme with War Hound iconography. Lhorke, the Dreadnought in Betrayer, is still painted in the old colors. I would say that depicting him is as simple as reversing the World Eaters scheme and adding some War Hound iconography (which is available in the FW decal sheet). I plan on adding some War Hound symbols to my World Eaters Terminators myself, just to show that they are the oldest veterans of the company.
