cephalopod Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Question about first company veteran Sgt. Do I paint the 1st company Sgt's helm red? Or just leave it white? Normally sgt's get red helms. Veterans get red with white stripes. Through the 2nd to 5th But what about 1st company sgts Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330301-painting-1st-company-veterans-if-helmets/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major_Gilbear Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yeah, a Veteran Sergeant is a Veteran Sergeant, regardless of the company he's in. So red with a white stripe.

cephalopod Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Do we have sources for this? Every 1st company task force I have seen from GW seems to be white. Box art ect..

Tyberos the Red Wake Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Both are acceptable as codex compliant as long as both the white and red are there. You can have red helmets with white stripes or laurels, or a white veteran helmet with red laurels or a red sergeant stripe. If you look at the older art, like before 5E, the Ultramarine Veterans often had either type of helmet. Here's some of the old OOP metal veterans with red helmets instead of white: http://kofler.dot.at/40k/units/Ultramarine_Veteran_Sergeants.gif Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330301-painting-1st-company-veterans-if-helmets/#findComment-4636641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claws and Effect Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Yeah, a Veteran Sergeant is a Veteran Sergeant, regardless of the company he's in. So red with a white stripe. This. A Veteran Sergeant in any other company is actually seconded from the first company. So in essence, a Veteran Sgt always looks the same in a given chapter in the 1st-9th companies.

Red_Shift Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 There is some rule of cool going on as the fan artwork for imperial fist veterans with white helms has really caught on in the community. Technically it is as above though.

cephalopod Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Red yellow is hard to make look good. So the white makes sense.

Red_Shift Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Red yellow is hard to make look good. So the white makes sense. That's exactly what happened with me, I painted the terminator helmets red then found that awesome artwork of the imperial fists marching and switched them all to white. Sorry I can't like your post it won't work with my android!
