depthcharge12 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Most of you know that I have my XVth legion project going on, but I'm adding 1000 points of AdMech allies to them. I wanted to ask the community to help me figure out what Forgeworld they're from for fluff and painting purposes. Models wise, I'm getting: -> Archmagos Malagra -> 4 Ferrox Thallax -> 2 Darkfire Castellax -> Thanatar siege automata My intention was that they were a detachment sent to join one of the XVth legion expeditions, to help recover STCs and punish hereteks. The AdMech, I assume, would be of a like mind to the the Thousand sons in that they'd both be seeking out repositories of knowledge and arcane tech likely heavily guarded by non compliant worlds. Thus, why there's a lot of assault/mobile heavy weaponry in this adjoining force. Now I did some research, and Prospero is actually very close to Ryza on the galactic scale. I like this as its already an established forge world, however, I'd hate doing that orange color for my AdMech. I was thinking along the lines of a more more indigo/deep purple color for the base armor, and gold shoulder plates/decorative armor. Something like House Orhlacc. Should I "create" my own Forgeworld only to have it obliterated in the Heresy or invaded during the Great Crusade? Or should I find a farther Forgeworld that might have been on a campaign path that has a similar color scheme?

Teetengee Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 The orange next to the red of the thousand sons would also probably be pretty ugly, but it would look great next to the blue sons.

depthcharge12 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yeah that was my line of thinking. I thought that a deep blue and gold (the later TS) color scheme for my AdMech would contrast nicely with the red of the XVth legion.

Teetengee Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yeah, the blue and gold would contrast nicely. Purple or green could probably work too. Or you could just go with base metals on your robot army.

Nakuth Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Keep in mind that the myriad taghma of the Mechanicum, at least in 30k, have their own heraldry & panoply based on more than just the forge world of origin. You could say that the colours you want to use are particular to the magos leading your force. For all we know, the orange Ryza scheme originates after the Heresy.
