Suppressor Question - Helmet Color

[MadGreek]

As the title says - 

 

They are listed as Fire Support in the Space Marine Codex, that would make the helmet blue.

 

They are in the  Close Support section of the Data Sheets, that would make the Helmet yellow.

 

The insignia on the shoulder pad of the picture on the Data Sheet indicates Fire Support, so blue.

 

I'm leaning towards blue , how does everyone else do it?

[MadGreek]

Actually, I think I figured it out. Assault Intercessors are close support in the Codex - yellow, but in the Battle line section of the Data Sheets, that would make them red.

 

BA Codex shows them with yellow helms.

 

Extrapolation seems to point to the Suppressors being blue.

 

Guess I should have done a bit more research before posting.

[Doctor Perils]

It would indeed be blue - datasheets don't show "battleline"/"close support"/"fire support" (in-universe classifications), but actually "troops"/"fast attack"/"heavy support" (rules-based classifications)

 

That said, they're always "your dudes" so you can technically paint them how you want

Yeah Fast Attack is not the same as Close Support and Heavy Support is not the same as Fire Support. Crunch != Fluff.

As of 8th ed, and mabye before, force organisation slot is no longer the same as the units battlefield role - so if they're fire support, they get blue helms, if you choose, despite being fast attack.
