depthcharge12 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 So seeing as how I've decided to commit to get knight allies for my Dark Angels Legion, I was wondering if the heresy forum could help me decide what I should paint then up as. As a side note I'm getting a Paladin and Castigator. I personally like the House Vyronii scheme with the quartered green and bone livery and crowned skull & lightning bolts insignia. Plus the rust effect they have in the pictures of book 4 on the knights looks amazing. Athrawes is trying to convince me to paint them up as House Orhlacc, who have superior sinister fluff, and a sexy manticore insignia. Plus they have larger ties to the 1st legion throughout the crusade. However, I don't know how I feel about painting purple. I'd like to know if there were any other schemes that might work or contrast with the black of my DAs or just generally look good. What do you think I should paint them?

Millicant Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I think thay Knight houses are the Space Marine chapters of 40k. You can invent a paint scheme and fluff to match literally anything you want. That being said, I put a heavy priority on paint scheme, so don't commit to anything you're so-so about.

You have to paint them as Ohrlacc - dark purple, dark green, dark iron & black makes for an awesome army colour palette. Plus fluff Depth, FLUFF. There is no choice, there is only fluff If you really love the Heresy, you'll choose Ohrlacc. No you're being emotionally exploitative. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303700-what-should-i-paint-my-allied-knights-as/#findComment-3956424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Ohrlacc sounds good. Or make your own. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303700-what-should-i-paint-my-allied-knights-as/#findComment-3956427 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBA Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Vyronii is sexy. Can't go wrong there. An alternative if you plan on getting into Titans at some point is having them bonded to a Titan Legion in the same way some Free Blades and an entire house are to Legio Tempestus, taking on the Legio's heraldry and colors . That's the road I'm going down :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303700-what-should-i-paint-my-allied-knights-as/#findComment-3956459 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that fluff tho... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303700-what-should-i-paint-my-allied-knights-as/#findComment-3956481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakuth Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 +1 for Orhlacc. For all the reasons given anove. They could be a detachment that has served alongside the 1st since the house was 'rediscovered'. Re: the purple. It's more of a very, very, dark blue, but with a slight red register. So it's nothing like the EC purple. You could do it with a dark blue followed by a bit of a purple wash? It would be a nice contrast to the dark green black of your Legion.

1ncarnadine Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Orhlacc is pretty awesome and I'd love to see some Knights painted up in their scheme..... But that purple could easily clash with your red legion icons, or anything else red for that matter. I guess it depends on the shades, it could work. But Vyronii basically battle off Cthulhu-monsters on a daily basis. I mean "cephalopod-mammalian hybrid forms, many of prodigious size" "possessed of a malevolent, alien intelligence?" Yeah. I bet they get some serious Caliban monster-slaying respect from the 1st Legion.

He used the word "cthonic" like every other page, and I don't mean reference to the SoH.
