CaptainStabby Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Going to assume this goes here and not the chaos forum because we're all loyalists here, right... Ignore the guy in the corner with the pistols and the sword. Shhhhhh. Anyhow. I have a small Fallen force I'm working on and I'm going back and forth on what color the chapter badge should be on them. The IA article and a lot of more recent stuff shows a white chapter icon, whereas the old Rogue Trader era images show a red icon on the black armor. Is this one of those things where we just ignore the discrepancy and go with whatever feels right, or is there some significance to the colors? Cheers folks!

Grand Master Belial Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I started with red in my Fallen force but later switched to bone. The bone was mainly to differentiate them from Black Templar and Raven Guard since bone is known for the Unforgiven. The only thing I can see to explain the white is the HH books which were written after the IA article. In it, the Order had the white surpluses that they wore over their black armor. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c372/GMBelial/Fallen%20Dark%20Angels/P8090003.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c372/GMBelial/Fallen%20Dark%20Angels/P8090006.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c372/GMBelial/Fallen%20Dark%20Angels/P8090014.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c372/GMBelial/Fallen%20Dark%20Angels/P7180080.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306479-fallen-heraldry/#findComment-4016318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 For me, being that the Fallen are Calibanite DA's, their heraldry would be bone on green, rather than the "Terran" red on black.

CaptainStabby Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Thought that was the opposite actually. Weren't the DA left to garrison Caliban mostly Terran Born?
