Merellin Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 So, I realy wanna start a dark angels successor but I cant decide on what one.. I realy like the colorschemes of both Disciples of Caliban and Guardians of the Covenant.. But I cant pick one.. I know loads of people will go "Make your own!" But I am absolutely horrible at chosing color schemes so I realy cant think of a colorscheme of my own.. I'm planning to build it together with a Imperial Guard army (Already got some guard stuff, But no Dark Angels yet) And they will work together as allied forces (Or, Well, diferent detachments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilgannan Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hiya, How about painting a model I in each of the paint schemes and see which one you you find better. Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Do some squads of both! Make a "Crusade" Unforgiven force, give them a unified campaign marking and maybe even some honor markings from the other Chapter on their armor to show some heroic actions between coordinating squads, and you're golden. You could even develop a story about a few squads of one Chapter or the other being the only remaining units from a battle and having a limping, almost destroyed transport that get picked up by the other Chapter's force along the way and integrate into the force some. Since there is no differentiation between the Successors play-wise, there is no reason you couldn't do this and still use it all in the same army. Make it fun for yourself!

Grand Master Belial Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 There is no reason you can't do both. Make them a linked detachment, the codex has illustrated that the Angels of Absolution and the Consecrators have fought side by side with the Dark Angels. So there is a precedent that two successors would also fight side by side. Another link is the old third war of Armageddon website which had the Dark Angels and all three Second Foundings fighting on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilgannan Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I change my suggestion to the above 2. Such a good idea doing them both!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple of Caliban Sgt Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Or just submit to the super awesomeness of awesome that is Disciples of Caliban....................I may be biased though.............just a little. However Guardians of the Covenant are pretty awesome color scheme as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Maledictors?.. But they are out of the codex. And that whole Daemon weapons thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merellin Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Maledictors..? I must say I dont know of those and cant find them on Lexicanum or 40kwiki, Unless they arent a chapter, Then I dont know what you mean.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Well now I need to find them just to prove I'm not insane... Or I have the right name.. A rumored DA successor who use Codex Astartes organization and are known for doing whatever it takes to get it done, Including using Daemon weapons. Currently on an =I= mandated crusade of penance. It's in an old WD, probibly around the time the first GK or Witch Hunters codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm pretty sure you are talking about the Relictors, who were originally the Fire Claws. They are rumored to be a mix of Ultramarine and Dark Angels gene-seed, as part of the Thirteenth/Dark Founding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra Magnus Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 My vote is Angels of Vengeance; cool name, cool color scheme, super cool logo :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 What's the most important thing for you - ease and speed of painting, 'look' or background? Think about that for both the Chapters you named and then make your decision accordingly. Perhaps also think about variant colour schemes for the Deathwing/Ravenwing equivalents.

Merellin Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm leaning towards Guardians of the Covenant.. But a friend said they looked similar to how he's gonna paint his chaos army.. so I might take Disciples of Caliban instead.. I have seen a image of a Disciples of Caliban terminator, It had the same color scheme as the normal guys.. But I dont know what color to make their robes..

Master Sheol Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Usually successors don't use a peculiar color scheme For their RW and DW equivalents... My fav DA successor chapter are the consecrators cause they are basically Heresy DA with different Chapter Badge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merellin Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hmm.. Might add the Angels of Absolution to the list of possible chapters.. If I can find a easy way to paint bone.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merellin Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 My friend painted a few dark angel models from the Dark Vengeance box as Fallen and ended up liking how they turned out so he says he's gonna paint the entire army like that, Not just the dark angel models. So I'v decided to go with Guardians of the Covenant since it wont be similar to his chaos after all. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
