m0nolith Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 I do black because that's what FW's illustrations show. I noticed 'Eavy Metal prefers metal. This makes sense for chapters with black armor and Chaplains. If youre talking about the Carcharodons, then youre talking about the Badab War volume 2. The reason I originally did metal for my Minotaurs is because I noticed metal in the illustrations in that same book! Its funny how things work out that way :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318108-space-marine-joints-black-or-metal/page/2/#findComment-4276058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyberos the Red Wake Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yeah I took a look again and most of the chapters, including Exorcists, Salamanders (GW does these guys in silver), and Star Phantoms are all black. But Minotaurs are very obviously silver/not black. I think FW just does these things randomly. For example, the Terminators' crux colors for each chapter are really random. I think black and silver might both be the official colors since FW uses both in the same exact book.

Retributis Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I always do them the bone colour of my guys armour, mainly because I'm lazy, but also because I feel it's not beyond the imperium to paint the "rubber" sections as well as the plate (see also, rivets, studs, cables and hoses) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318108-space-marine-joints-black-or-metal/page/2/#findComment-4276293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 It may not even be painted... We produce colored rubber and plastic just fine in 3K, no reason it can't happen in 40K.
