Kilofix Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I'm assuming black base, and black shoulder pads. But what color should be loin cloth, and cape (white, red, green?), and what color should be trim (silver, gold, green?)? Thanks for the opinions. I need to paint this guy: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291241-what-color-is-a-pre-heresy-da-tda/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Master Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Remember a terminator from Rogue Trader being black.

Lucien Eilam Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The Lion has this description: The main doors hissed open and fifteen Dark Angels in Terminator armour entered, combi-bolters and power fists at the ready. Their immense armour was black as pitch and trimmed with silver, broken only by the sigils of the Legion on their shoulder pads and the scarlet skull emblems on their huge chestplates; the personal blazon of Brother-Redemptor Nemiel who was there to meet them.

Slave to Darkness Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 also in the 'Deathwing' story from space hulk, one of the terminators was remembering a battle on a hulk against nurgle marines, and how thousands of years ago they turned against the emperor etc, and this was before they painted their TDA white.

Dragonkin Arenis Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Trims should be silver, the cape can be red, which is a traditional tertiary colour for the Chapter/Legion, and I'd suggest some shade of brown for the petruges. You've assumed correctly about the black, as others have pointed out.
