HamHamLunchbox Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hey guys. I was already looking through BA fluff but couldnt find anything related. I was wondering if there are any sorts of color variants for the terminator helmets like the stripes on ultramarine terminator helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appiah4 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I go with red but white looks double plus awesome (Blood Ravens etc.). AFAIK there's no fluff that states Terminators wear a specific helmet color. It has always been red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I do all my veterans with golden helmets. I'm also painting Knights of Blood, but that's how I did it back when they were Blood Angels as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I dont give my termies anything special with regards to colour. Fact that theyre in tactical dreadnought armour should tell people enough whatever or not theyre veterans or not :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bis5523 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I do mine with gold helmets to symbolize that they are vets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Invictus Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 The stripe on an Ultramarine terminator helmet is to denote Veteran Sergeants, all Veterans wear white helmets, and a Sergeant has a red helmet, Veteran Sergeants wear a red helmet with a white stripe. I'm kind of expecting BA terminators to have a gold helmet next codex though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of expecting BA terminators to have a gold helmet next codex though. I don't think they will tbh, the colour specific helmets are for commanders to quickly identify their forces, red tac, yellow assault, blue heavy and gold vet. Terminators are pretty easy to identify. Different chapters have different ways of identifying their squad, company that’s what makes them individual.

Brother apocalyptic Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 When I get my assault terminators, Im gonna do them with white helmets, just to give them a focus point in the armor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Despite having some of my Terminators for almost half of my life, I've let to actually paint them! When I eventually do, they will probably all have red helmets. Whilst I do my veterans with gold helmets, TDA is enough to show that Mr Terminator belongs to the first company.

You have style, rest assured that they'll look awesome. I can't bring myself to do it though, the OCD in me can't do anything that doesn't adhere to the codex style :/ Sometimes I find myself thinking about changing my Blood Angels into a DIY successor that's completely red like blood angels, but has white helmets for all veterans, black shoulderpads for sergeants and gold decorations for HQs. I would do it if I could freehand chapter/squad markings worth a damn :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
