RG colour scheme

[greatcrusade08]

Hi Guys

im looking for specfics. as i yet dont have the supplement. (im guessing its in there?)

obviously black everywhere, trim colour is the same for all codex chapters right?

 

what are the rules on sergeants, veterans, captains etc, there is some white added right?

[War of the Eagle]

Black with white chest aquilas. Left shoulder paldron trim color denotes company. Sargents have white helms, and vets have white helms and white arms and paldrons. Google will give you tons of references with a quick search.

From our Supplement

 

Trim

1st - white

2nd - yellow

3rd - red

4th - green

5th - black

6th - orange

7th - purple

8th - grey

9th - blue

10th - no trim so black

 

Sgts - white helmet

Vets - white pauldrons and arms

 

You're going to laugh . . . but I couldn't pick out a figure that was obviously a Lieutenant. 

 

Shrike (and Captains) - white helmet, pauldrons and arms

 

Terminator art in the Supplement had black pauldrons

Invictors followed their company colors whereas dreadnoughts looked like Vets

Thanks guys, i guess my google fu is weak, i found pics but couldnt work out what was a vet, sergeant or captain.

This is very handy, thank you

I just do officers (inc sgts) with white helms and vets (and senior officers) with white hands, works fine for me.

Worth noting: The pics you were given are the old scheme when the trim color denoted squad type.

 

They don't do that anymore (probably because there is such a wider variety of squad types now).

 

Now the trim color denotes company, like the other Codex compliant Chapters. Still only on the right pad though (model's right, not your right). Unless they are wearing Phobos armor, in which case the trim color goes on the left because there's no trim on the other side.

Or you do as the lore says (think it was in Insignium Astartes, if not the actual Marines Codex at some point) and follow the actual Codex Astartes as originally laid down by Guilliman, who said chapters’ insignia patterns should change every once in a while, and say that your force has reverted back to older iconography, if you prefer that scheme...
