Slips Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 THe Black just means he's a veteran of the Legion. What he's a veteran of in this case is a campaign called the Howling Gyre but they don't really go into any more detail about it. Interestingly, for the IF Black has, at least, 3 Meanings that I can discern: Veterancy, Household/Company or Heavy Weapons Specialist (Helmet). At least, those are the three examples presented in Extermination with the above Assault Marine, a Terminator and the Heraldry Page.

Slips Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Legionary Gunther, 64th Squad, 344th Company, Imperial Warship - Oath of Stone, Battle of Phall. The note on his color is: Legionary Gunther is depicted wearing the predominantly black heraldry of a veteran of the catastrophe of the War of the Howling Gyre, as well as the Great Crusade Veteran's Cross. The Symbol on his chest armour marks his unit as serving in fortress defence, the lightning bolts indicating its participation in the Terran Unification War. Extermination, Page 68. Page 70, we have a Cataphractii Terminator in a similar predominantly black Heraldry but notes that its a particularity of his company (2nd assault echelon, 6th company). Page 63 is the Heraldry Page with #3 being the Black-with-White-Stripe helmet of a Late Crusade Heavy Support Sergeant. Heavy Support Legionary being Yellow-with-Black-Stripe.

Slips Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Good luck dude! Also, if you want a bit of further potential inspiration, theres this: The Consus Drift Compliance (ca. 800.M30) - The Consus Drift was a belt of stellar debris which lay in the dark between stars close to the Sol System. Stranded far away from the warmth of suns or the life sustaining cycles of planets, it was nonetheless home to billions of humans who had been stranded there for millennia, caught in the Warp tides, whirpools and flats of dead calm. The Mirror Race was such a pattern, and voidships caught in it were flung through its turbulence to emerge in the Consus Drift. Those who had been stranded in this region of space had managed to build a civilisation grown from lost souls -- vast strings of asteroid cities lay across the Consus Drift, connected together by tunnels made from the metal entrails of shipwrecks. Willow limbed, black eyed and pale skinned, the people of the sprawling archipelago were divided into warring Drift Clans, who continuously fought one another for salvage, territory and resources. The Imperium discovered the Consus Drift by accident, when the 3rd Expeditionary Fleet, under the command of the Imperial Fists, was caught in the Mirror Race and thrown into that region. As the fleet rolled in the void, damaged and confused, the Drift Clans attacked. Though severely outmatched, this was not totally true, for the archipelago of void cities mounted weapons scavenged over thousands of solar years. More significantly, the Drift Clans were schooled and blooded in the brutal arts of void warfare. The first assault waves hit the most damaged vessels and battles swarmed through the Imperial warships even as they tried to return fire, but even as the Drift Clans made progress, they met the first of the Imperial Fists and the battle changed. The Imperial Fists counterattacked, driving the Driftborn from their ships, and then continued their assault by launching gunships, boarding torpedoes and breaching pods into the void cities. Battering their way into the heart of each city, the Imperial Fists stopped only when their hands held the controls of the cities' life support systems. Across every Vox channel and speaker, the commander of the Imperial Fists gave the people of the Consus Drift an ultimatum: Imperial Compliance or extermination. The Clan Warriors immediately surrendered. The 3rd Expeditionary Fleet left after repairs were made, but not before the Imperial Fists had taken the youngest and strongest male warriors of each of the Drift Clans. Of those who survived initiation into the VIIthLegion, all were inducted into a single unit; the 356th Company. Over the next century, the 356th Company's reputation for excellence in out-hull void warfare and starship assaults was without peer, and the clustered star heraldry and tradition of elaborate full body tattoos amongst their warriors still speaks to the traditions of the ancient clans of the Consus Drift. Emphasis mine. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330521-looking-for-info/#findComment-4640952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
