The new codex says veterans have gold helms, however this doesnt seem to apply to veteran sergeants, or terminators. 

 

If you have a unit of intercessors that you will always upgrade to 'veterans' then I say go for it! It'll make them stand out. Otherwise, as it's an ad-hoc game by game upgrade, no one will have a problem if you dont.

Yeah, I think I might do it to make them stand out and be easily identifiable on the table top. Cheers mate.

I would paint them gold simply because it looks cool. :biggrin.:

 

However I would not say it is a pre-requisite. You can use the strat on a unit with red helms and it is fine. If in doubt, always remember the First Rule of Modelling.

 

1. They are your models so paint them how you like! :wink:

While the veterans of the 1st Company wear gold helmets according to the Codex, the way the stratagem is worded - "This squad has been noted for exemplary service" really leaves it all for your decision.

Codex-compliant and want to make them part of the 1st Company? Go gold. Want to make them veterans of any other company or don't like gold? Go red.
