Marshal Vespasian Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I painted mine yellow. As I understand it without the codex astartes legions / companies where kind of free to paint their stuff whatever colour they wanted. I did my apothecaries in white with red insignia because thats just fitting for paramedics in my minds eye. nusphigor 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363190-imperial-fists-techmarines-question/#findComment-5505853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 There's no hard and fast rule when it comes to the armor colors of Techmarines, Librarians and Apothecaries in 30k. With regards to techmarines specifically, we only have one piece of black book artwork depicting one and its a Deathguard Blackshield masquerading as a Sons of Horus. http://img1.reactor.cc/pics/post/Warhammer-40000-%D1%84%D1%8D%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%8B-forge-world-Wh-Books-2904739.jpeg Essentially, you're basically free to paint them in any way you want but, a guideline I'd use personally is: The more Red that is incorporated into their armor the deeper their learning of the Mechanicum secrets is / the more loyal to the mechanicum they might be. nusphigor, Gorgoff, battle captain corpus and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363190-imperial-fists-techmarines-question/#findComment-5505857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I'd have thought red trim and one red pauldron - Chaplains in 30K are meant to just have black trim if I recall so I assume Techmarine colours would be similarly restrained. nusphigor 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363190-imperial-fists-techmarines-question/#findComment-5505876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Its entirely your choice, i vary mine by Legion so the Iron Warriors have no red at all while the Alpha Legion ones had a few armour pieces. For Imperial Fists Red will go very well with his Yellow Brothers so id consider using a lot of it :) nusphigor 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363190-imperial-fists-techmarines-question/#findComment-5505990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nusphigor Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Very well, thanks a lot for your input guys! I guess yellow with some red it will be :) Noserenda and battle captain corpus 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363190-imperial-fists-techmarines-question/#findComment-5506175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle captain corpus Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 As Slips has said, the more red you incorporate the deeper a loyalty to Mars. Given that the IF are as loyal as the day is long there’s nothing to stop you going full armour red etc. Or just a hint...whatever takes your fancy? Maybe write up a brief character backstory and see how close he is to the workings of Mars? ;) BCC Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363190-imperial-fists-techmarines-question/#findComment-5507301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
