Painting UM Chaplains and Company Champions

[Redrandy93]

Fraters,

 

I am looking for more photos and ideas for my UM Chaplains and Company champions.    I need some ideas other than what shows on the command set for UM companies figures.    I have a full company of Fifth and Fourth UM and starting on the Third UM Company.

 

Is the same chaplain always assigned to the same UM Company?    I know to paint the chaplain in  black with gold trim but would the pauldrons have the company color on them and/or gold for the edges?   

I have the same question for the company champion.     I am trying to complete my three UM command squads and have some variation in them. 

  

I have been repainting parts of the three Librarians I have bought on ebay and they are almost all done (finally)  VBG.   

 

Two of the three Captains are almost done.   I have to Do Urial Ventris still.   I have to watch the painting Tutorial GW put out a few more times before i try to do him.

 

I have searched on line for photos but most of the Chaplins and Company Champions are for the Templars.   

Note I no longer play I just like to build and paint and read the WH$)K books.    

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

 

if this belongs elsewhere please move it to approprate area.

Chaplains are assigned to a company over the long term. So painting their chapter side's or both side's pauldron trim their company color would be appropriate. Same with the company champion. Librarians aren't so much a part of the company structure, so they can adopt their company's trim color or not as they choose, same with the techmarine. But as with everything in 40K lore, it is somewhat fluid, so you can paint yours however you desire. For example, when I had a firstborn company only, my veterans and command staff had the raised center section of their backpacks match their pauldron trim for easier identification of the various officers on the table top. This isn't so much the case anymore now I have primaris marines mixed in to the company, but it isn't current codex compliant.

Phoenix01 thanks for the answer.     I will paint the chaplain pauldrin side the company color on one pauldron.   The company champion I will paint the pauldron trim the company color.   The librarians all are blue but the tabard I will paint different colors  with  the pauldron edge in company color.    The tech marine will be red armor with one or both  pauldrons  painted company color.  Not really sure .  I have to see what it looks like.
