Karhedron Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I recently picked up a couple of cheap Storm Talons to allow me to field a Stormwing formation should I so desire. Only downside is that they have already been primed black. I could prime them again in red but I am wondering about sticking with the black. I could add red and bone trim to give a Death company-ish colour scheme. The only vehicles I have seen in DC colours are Dreadnoughts and transport vehicles. Can anyone think of a good justification why Storm Talons might be in DC colours (apart from the fact that BAs stupidly aren't suppose to have them in the first place)? I am guessing that marines who have sucumbed to the Black Rage are not the best choice of pilots. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudan Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Perhaps they are held in support of DC squads, but the pilots themselves have withstood the Black Rage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 If you don't feel confident about about giving them a another rattlecan layer, why not prime them by hand? Water down some citadel base slightly and you still get a nice even coat in just two layers, without destroying any details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenjordan Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Why not do one of each? Having a few black death company hulls mixing up all the red in the army I always thought looked sick, so I told myself when I start getting into multiples of vehicles....do one black don't look back!!! Goodluck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yeah Mixing is good, I may play a successor but I'm planning to ix up where I put the red/ black/ markings on all my vehicles. Why bother being uniform when you can be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Why not paint a few panels in red and use it as an alternate scheme? The Storm talon was painted in black to conceal itself from the xenos population of "Darmitzdarc" night world of perpetual darkness. The stormraven pair won such renown in that campaign that it was thought that their machine spirits would be angered if their new livery was changed, so they remain black. Maybe they spent some time supporting the Deathwatch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will run with the black. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildrcheese Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Deathwatch support would fit the bill. Get a few =I= logos and you're golden (or black, as the case may be) D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 What's wrong with them being piloted by DC? All I can think about is kamikaze Storm Talons now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 What's wrong with them being piloted by DC? All I can think about is kamikaze Storm Talons now..... Because BA devastator positions are known to advance out of formation when the thirst takes hold. 1) Youd have a hard time getting a DC marine into the cockpit.2 2) He'd land it in the enemy DZ, then get out and start killing things.

marine7312000 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I fail to see the problem with the second part.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I fail to see the problem with the second part.... It's a pretty expensive delivery system for a single DC marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
