Son of Carnelian Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I've already preorderd Guilliman, even though I have no practical use for him in any of my armies. I don't want to paint him in bog-standard Ultramarines colors because that will make it so any army I eventually expand from him will be bog-standard Ultramarines. Are there any successors that stand out to you guys as especially interesting? Do you think it could work, compositionally?

Canadian_F_H Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Don't follow the logic. RG to me would be in His legion colors and any successor would happily follow him regardless. But, your hobby etc. To me he could be a good excuse to build an UM army with units in various schemes from successors rallying to macrage as rob rampages thru ultramar.

But, your hobby etc. But everyone is gonna paint their Guilliman in Ultramarines colors. I gotta distinguish mine somehow. And I can't convert outside kitbashing, so I gotta go with other color schemes. I'm drifting towards Sons of Orar.

Paradigm Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Yeah, I'd keep him in UM colors, however my first army was Genesis chapter. The ultramarine models are particularly cool looking in red, although some are hard to convert the symbol for.If I ever did ultra successors again, I'd probably do either Marines Errant, or Fire Angels. Both have really cool fluff, and color schemes.The idea of the big guy in silver with red trim is pretty interesting, even if it seems unlikely he'd adopt any colors but his own.

Black Cohort Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Maybe do him in black because he is in morning over his brothers/ father?

Bryan Blaire Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Totally the Sons of Orar. When I saw the question, that's immediately what came to mind. I think it would look awesome in the red and white, with the sword done in green flame.

I think that's what I'll go for, because I also love painting red for than any other color.

WarriorFish Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 This has me in a state of indecision too (not that that is unusual with colour schemes...). It makes sense that he should be in UM colours, but he'd look cool in others too. I wonder if the lore in the book might help set a precedent? Would he repaint himself, or would he just shrug and think "These are my sons, just not in blue so it doesn't matter"?

KhorneHunter57x Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 "He looks better in red." -R. TamBut I also say that because I've never really been a fan of the blue+gold color combo - red+gold looks great; blue+silver or blue+black looks good as well, but blue+gold isn't something I've been a fan of.As for other successors...though I'd love to see it, I don't think there's enough exposed plain power armor to make a halved or quartered scheme look good rather than just too busy.

SensoryOverlord Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Just all Gold, with red accents. Check out the Emperor conversion bouncing around on the interwebs. It's the best paint job I've seen yet and seems "fairly" simple to do.

Beaky Brigade Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Personally I'd paint him with white details instead of the gold. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330595-guilliman-in-successor-color-schemes/#findComment-4644471 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastor Krieg Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'd follow 30k UM Honor Guard patterns. This or the right side one with white face plate on the next one. DEEEEEEP saturated blue, almost kSon, with gold. http://i.imgur.com/H2Mm3AA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/nEKiiME.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330595-guilliman-in-successor-color-schemes/#findComment-4644638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 So my complete fabrication fan fiction on the matter is this: Guilliman understands what a huge deal his return is not just for the Imperium, but specifically for the successor Chapters of the Ultramarines. He asks that Cawl install some kind of imager in the armor itself that allows his armor to take on the colors of whatever successor he fights alongside on their drive to Terra. I think Cawl can manage that, personally.
