DEL 707 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Painting some Intercessors at the moment to get back into the grove of things, but I'm a bit stumped on the knee pad colours. I've seen red, black and blue. What's the "offical" colour? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365929-knee-pad-colours/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spagunk Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 lemme see if I can get a copy/view for you. There should be some guides out there. Edit: Try this. Depending on how the board feels about it, it may go down.

Fist.of.execration Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Do Blood Angels have markings on their left knee? My only frames of reference are the 8th ed. Codex (as shown in this forum, above) and an old box - showing an "honour badge" - see below: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/warhammer-40k-space-marine-strike-1858876116 (Sorry, I don't know how to post the image.)

Majkhel Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Rarely, but i happens. If you search through the miniature range, you'll find some BA-scpecific sculpts that have those carved - BA Librarian in TDA, Corbulo, Sanguinor, some of the BA Assault Terminators, some of the DC.As for the official GW painting, there is an Intercessor sergeant in the 8th ed codex on page 66. In the artwork, there's obviously some too.It's not prohibited in any way. I believe most people don't do that simply in order to keep squad designation clearly visible.P.S. to post pictures from the links, put them inside this command: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365929-knee-pad-colours/#findComment-5611759 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Do Blood Angels have markings on their left knee? Systematically? No. Left shoulder is Chapter Icon; Right Shoulder is Company Badge; Right Knee is Squad Icon. Campaign badges are traditionally worn on a greave, but could also be on the left knee. The image you share with the red drop on white field is likely a personal honour marking, and the marine has chosen to apply it to his knee. There's another model with one on his vambrace in the 2nd ed Angels of Death book.
