Montuhotep Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Just wondering if any of the 'specialists' in a pre-heresy army would have used the current colours - eg: Tech = Red, Librarian (pre-Nikea) = Blue, Apoth = white - or would they have been strictly a post-Heresy Codex thing? Only reason I ask is that I have a Techmarine conversion shaping up to be a Warpsmith, so want to get the paint right.

Slave to Darkness Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 i think the specialist colouring was down to robert girlymans silly book, that thrice damned codex astartes. personally id paint them in legion colours, maybe slip in a helmit or shoulder pad in red/blue maybe, then you get the best of both Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297280-specialists/#findComment-3819107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Only thrice damned? I would've thought it more Chaos-y to eightfold damn stuff :p As for the colors, maybe let a little of it show through some battle damage? As in they covered it up with their Chaos Scheme but due to wear and tear, it shows through just a little, hearkening back to their long gone past.

Forté Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. IIRC though, the red on techmarines comes from their connections to the Adeptus Mechanicus. Something Warpsmiths don't have.

JamesI Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. IIRC though, the red on techmarines comes from their connections to the Adeptus Mechanicus. Something Warpsmiths don't have. A warpsmith who was a fallen techmarine though might still have the red armor. Personally, I would paint them in legion colors. But that one contrast character in your army could look cool.
