Axineton Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Or do they have termie armour in any other companies? Reason I ask is I have the space marine start collecting box and the captain is obviously in termie armour so I wanna know would he be painted in the colours of the deathwing or would he be in the green as a standard marine?

m_r_parker Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 If I remember correctly, TDA is exclusive to the first company - however Company Masters still have the right to wear TDA because they are also members of the Deathwing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axineton Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 So it’d be painted in the 1st company colours then I’m assuming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helycon Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Yes, all TDA is reserved for the 1st company and members of the Inner Circle. All suits are bone-white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Blaire Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 All suits are bone-white. Cool cheers for clearing that up peepsThis is incorrect and isn't quite that clear. Not all TDA is bone white, per page 70 of the DA Codex. Librarians wear blue TDA, Chaplains wear black TDA. There is nothing that specifies that a Captain NOT serving with the Deathwing would have bone white TDA - he's not serving with the Deathwing and all TDA is not bone white, so the armor could be green, to show the Captain is serving with a standard company. The choice is really up to you, Fr33dom, no matter what you choose, you will be correct and fluffy. It's an argument that has shown up here repeatedly, and it ends up being something that the player has to decide for their own army. My Stoneburners have a different convention, and I use a DIY specifically so I don't have to be beholden to GW's whims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axineton Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Right ok I get ya Mr Blaire nice one! I’m gonna go with the deathwing colour for the El Capitan and work some fluff around it I think. Worst comes to worst I can always strip him and do him green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masters should be Deathwing coloured though. But as you stated, it's all up to you and your imagination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 It's really your call, Fr33dom, I suspect that GW has never "solidified" this in the Codex specifically because of previous lack of clarity and various depictions they have had. There was even a previous white power armored Deathwing Master. You can find several threads about this very subject in the history of this forum area with a Search and see how many times long-standing members and even our Moderators have gone round and round about it. Personally, I have always liked the all bone-white TDA, even for the specialists, with their tabards indicating their Librarian and Chaplain statuses (along with all their other accoutrements), but GW depicts the specialists in non-white TDA.

Axineton Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 I think a librarian and chaplain would look cool in white/ bone coloured termie armour too. That may be a thought for another day though for me personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandwen Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 There is also the issue of the Deathwing only being present in the Dark Angels chapter and none of the further foundings, so that leaves much to be wonderered about if they might have normal 1st companies in other chapters (or if each of the main chapters follows with the other wings).

Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 In many of the Unforgiven they have the exact similar first and second companies organization except the names differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously I think we may of figured it out Librarians and Interrogator chaplains are members of the inner circle and thus have access to terminator armour. Normal chaplains aren't though, so don't have access to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
