Slothysaur Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I've been painting my Blood Drinkers captain/red marine chapter master and I've run into a problem. I haven't been able to find a helmeted captain to figure out how they color their helmets, e.g. veterans have gold helmets. Does anyone know if captains/chapter masters have a specific helmet color, or is it just up to interpretation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCommanderSamirus Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I believe that the Blood drinkers are closer to codex markings than blood angels anyway so likely captains would have helmets the same color as the rest of their armor.

The4thHorseman Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I normally paint mine Black with a white Crest, if the helmet has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Blood Angel captains have red helmets. There are a few pics with them in the Dex, and in 5th edition had one holding his helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The codex notes exceptions to the normal schemes. if captains dont have a mention, then they follow the normal scheme. Unless you dont want to, then paint it how you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Unless you dont want to, then paint it how you want! QFT! :D Always remember the first rule of painting. #1. They're my models, I'll paint them how I like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slothysaur Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Awesome! Thanks for the help guys. I did find the picture of the captain holding his helmet in the old codex just now. Guess I'll just roll some color ideas around in my head for a bit, the plain colored helmet just doesn't seem quite enough to me, blends in with my way too fancy tactical marines :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm of the idea that he can do whatever he wants with his helmet by then. And maybe different colors can be awarded as honors for heroic deeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
