Ganders Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I've recently ordered the starter £175 box and was wondering if it came with a comprehensive list of legio colour schemes or if there's a list anywhere else. Also do most people paint the two warlords and 6 knights as two houses to play straight away or is it worth painting all as the same legio? Suggestions welcome.

Captain Semper Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 There is no comprehensive list of Legio colour schemes. There are however examples of quite a few Legios (that also come with Legio-specific rules) in the main Rulebook and the two expansions, Titandeath and Doom of Molech. As for how to go about painting the starter box contents, well that totally personal preference. I'd paint them differently and thus make a starting point of two Legios but others might prefer to paint them from the same Legio and go for the more headstrong Maniples... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356069-colour-schemes/#findComment-5317068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 What is this “painting” thing you speak of? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356069-colour-schemes/#findComment-5317075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 GW has a few tutorial videos for painting some of the Legios, but if you need advice or suggestions just ask here. There's at least one person on here playing each Titan Legio (with perhaps the exception of the Molech ones) so you'll find someone who has first hand experience. As for the box, I personally went with a single Legio. You'll probably end up eventually getting the box contents for your Maniple(s) anyhow.

Gore Crow Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I found this PDF helpful when looking at colour schemes; some are out of date since the books have come out though.

Atia Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Also do most people paint the two warlords and 6 knights as two houses to play straight away or is it worth painting all as the same legio? Suggestions welcome. It depends on how much you are a hobby butterfly, and how many people you have that also have their own models. My plan is to do ~ a maniple per legion I want to do, with one support banner. My househould forces will be from Vyronii for loyalists, and my traitor Knights from Malinax and Devine. Just keep in mind, all Titans of a maniple and all Knights of a lance must be from the same legio/house Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356069-colour-schemes/#findComment-5317327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
