Therion Cohort Colours

[Toomanyprojects]

Hey everyone,

 

This one isn't for me, but for a friend. I was wondering if someone on here knew the colours of the Therion Cohort mentioned in 'Deliverance Lost'. If anyone has a picture then that will be even better.

 

She's working on the basis of imperial knights wearing roughly the same livery as the auxilia they are fighting alongside. It does appear that this is one of the more obscure forces and I've yet to find a picture of them.

 

Thanks in advance for the help

According to 40k Wiki, their colours appear to be red and gold, with white trousers. I'm presuming something like stereotypical Redcoats [although specific points include gold carapace armour for nobles, gold flak armour otherwise [both noted as being rather artistically detailed], and red sashes for officers]. Potentially, i'd tweak the white to a bleached bone colour [or slightly whiter] - which would look pretty decent on a bunch of Knights imo :D 

Perhaps something like this:

Now as it happens, red and white are not entirely uncommon colours for Knight households [which ... well, I pity anybody attempting oto get an even white over such large armour panels, but that's just me being a curmudgeon], although gold rather than silver will make for a decent visual distinguishment from, say, House Taranis. And if your friend were to go with something more closely resembling the aforementioned Therion Cohort distribution of colours [gold on main armour plating, white on leg plating, possibly even red trim rather than a metallic - although i'm not sure how well such an inversion will look in practice], ti'll definitely be quite visually distinct. 

I *think* I've seen a Warhound Titan done up in a similar scheme, but can't seem to find it now and am a bit tired to be frantically pouring through legion colour-schemes atm. 

Either way, should look interesting when done up. Let us know how you get on!
