Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The name says it all. I've seen a few people playing Carmine blades paint their death company white, while others go with the traditional black armor. Seeing as how this is up for interpretation, and the chapter is only recently become apart of the Blood Angels line, how would you paint them? I know the Angels Encarmine paint their DC and Guard in alabaster, but with little knowledge elsewhere what approach would you take? This is for a project I've started working on, and would like some advice on a color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Seeing as the Chapter is Red and White... I'd go with Black but white crosses perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Aren't Angels Encarmine canonically the only successor who paint their DC anything but black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Per the 5th edition codex: pg. 80. "The Successor Chapters invariably maintain a Sanguinary Guard and Death Company of their own, following the same color schemes as those laid down by the Blood Angels. The only exception are the Angels Encarmine who adorn both these specialist units in alabaster white armour -" Versus: Per the 7th edition codex: pg 29. "---Renamed the Carmine Blades, these successors have accepted the Blood Angels' traditions only grudgingly.---" This makes me lean more towards a black power armoured Desth Company, yet every Carmine Blades chapter I've seen painted thus far, the painters have chosen white: except for one 5 man squad I've seen through a web search. I know that my personal version will be more in line with the Blood Drinkers as far as squad and formation designs go, to show a transition from Ultra Marine Successor to Blood Angel. However both the Sanguinary Guard and Death Company paint scheme elude me. Since in the new codex there is no mention of alternate death company or sanguinary guard paint schemes. And thus the conundrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeblerartillery Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'm playing Carmine Blades as well and here is my take: I did Sanguinary Guard in the traditional colors (I tried silver and it just didn't have the contrast/effect I wanted) but did my Death Company in traditional black but with white helmets like the rest of the chapter. I wanted to do all white originally; however, I didn't think it looked good and it didn't fit the feel of my color scheme. I like the idea that the Blades thought of the DC as a blessing rather than a curse since they didn't know they were BA, and white conveys that idea better than black. So, bottom line is go with what you think looks good and fits the feel of your blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 I've gone a bit bright with mine. What say you lot? Black or white with these boys? http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z460/Dont-be-Haten/40k/2775E791-222C-48BC-9038-CDCC8869214A_zpsbftztw7p.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeblerartillery Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Your lot is significantly brighter than mine. I vote white. A) Because well painted white looks baller. B) It's your take on your chapter, so go big! Here are my regular brosefs for a point of comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 White! If you like it and it looks good. Always good to see DC that isn't all black in my opinion. I was thinking for my DC to have just the face mask white. I also really like keebler's scheme of just white helms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not to my death company yet so im really interested in the masses thoughts. So far white is winning, but I will absolutely loath it if a white dwarf comes out and they are painted black and not white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Bump: I really like the idea of the white helmet and black power armor: here is a trial DC: thoughts so far? I've got some other mods I'm going to change. http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z460/Dont-be-Haten/40k/9502C7DA-694D-4DE5-891F-022AC3C7BB4D_zpsbnlu37dr.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeblerartillery Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 The only thing I would say is to change the silver for gold, as it stands out better, but that is simply preference on my part :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Thanks. I think the gold would be keen too. Like I said, just a mock draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
