crimsonsphinx Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Does anyone know what the official colour of a characters bike is? Eg does a chaplain or Librarian ride a black Ravenwing bike? Or a green Dark angels bike? Or even a bone Deathwing coloured bike, since both could be Inner Circle.

Dark Rage Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I play a successor so I don't really have need for different colour bikes but when I did collect DA my thought on independent characters on bikes was to have them black but with a stripe down the front of the bike with colours related to what they were, like black with a blue stripe for a librarian.

Isiah Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Sounds like a plan. Or: Green for all or Blue for Librarians Black for Chaplains etc There are no 'official' colours rules as such. Accept the rule-of-cool. But, not painting them black (apart from Chaplains) reminds you that as per the DA Codex they aren't riding Ravenwing bikes so don't get their special rules. :) Cheers I Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298861-bike-colour-for-independant-characters/#findComment-3853136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 To follow on with Isiah, the only thing that would really change is the Chapter Badge. Is it a DA, RW, or DW badge on the bike? The color of the specialty should be prominent with just the chapter badge showing if the the particular specialist is attached to the 1st or 2nd Companies.

Brother dean Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Mine started life as the assigned Librarian for the Ravenwing because I was running a pure RW list so it went black to match. Do it the way you want to do it. You paid for the mini and the paints.

Shubniggurath Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Mine's bike is black. I assumed he borrowed a bike from the Ravenwing...

Chaplain Lucifer Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 While not set in stone, the majority of the bikes belongs to RW, so one assume that an IC on a bike us seconded to RW, thus the bike being black.

crimsonsphinx Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Mine's bike is black. I assumed he borrowed a bike from the Ravenwing... That is what I was thinking of doing. I just wondered if there was something official in fluff I hadn't seen Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298861-bike-colour-for-independant-characters/#findComment-3855694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabbadoo Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 ICs on bikes would still represent all of the Chapter, so use Chapter icons and not Ravenwing icons. The bike color most likely would match the office (i.e. armor color) of the rider so that they stand out on the battlfield. So, that leaves black bikes for Chaplains/Interrogator-Chaplains and blue bikes for Librarians. The only IC bike you might put a Ravenwing icon on somewhere would be the bike of the Chaplain assigned to the Ravenwing Company, but you might also choose not to. None of that is official (except the bit about these ICs representing ALL of the Chapter), but I think it makes the most sense.
