HighMarshalAmp Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) If I was to paint a DA force in their Heresy era color cheme, how often would I have to play them as successors 'cause they're not green and white?

Bryan Blaire Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 As often as you would like - taking a Successor key word is a choice, per the rules as written, and isn't influenced per the rules by color scheme. YMMV based on house rules your gaming group may have. Gederas 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never. Because Dark Angels don't have actual rules for successors, despite what the codex says. Plus, take it from someone who paints their Dark Angels in Heresy colours: Primaris just look good in Proper Dark Angels colours Edited March 28, 2020 by Gederas HighMarshalAmp and ShibeKing 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I agree with Bryan. It's an option that you can take, but I dont know why you would since it only limits you.theyre still da Gederas 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxom Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I've brought this up before, but the only official mark of a Chapter is it's insignia. If the shoulders and banners have the Dark Angel chapter insignia then they can be played as normal Dark Angels, no need to be successors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorDaemon Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 It does depend on who you ask I suppose. Lore-wise, I don't think that would ever happen that a chapter would do such a thing, it'd be a successor. However, in general for the actual game, most people would be okay either way, as long as it is clear they're using DA rules or not as that would effect the use of named characters.

bluntpencil Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 If anyone is an arse about it, they're Primaris in the second company, but the bikes were too small for 'em.

Interrogator Stobz Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I game with some extremely competitive tournament players, not one would ever bat an eyelid at a change in paint scheme. Other WYSIWYG is another matter of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other WYSIWYG is another matter of course. This and as long as they're matching according to any color rules the tournie has. Casual you don't even to base coat them :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 If in doubt, always refer to the first rule of modelling. #1. They're your minis so paint them how you like! Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
