The_Chaplain Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Not sure where to post these, but I have a couple odd questions regarding the templars- from a visual design perspective. Is it just the crusader squads and sword brethren that have the chained weapons-- or are units like intercessors, aggressora, inceptors, etc.and the like *technically* supposed to have them too? When it comes to tilt shields on pauldrons-- are those just painted as the crusade badge or does the marine get to emblazon it with their own heraldry? Thanks!

T14 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 A ) Greyshields will likely need time to adopt the mannerisms of their chapter. So it is ultimately up to you! B ) GW paint scheme seems to show heraldry on tilt shields and crusade badge on the right thigh plate. But the BT are divergent and subject to the whims of their crusade Marshalls, so you do you! As an example I will be giving ALL my templars white pauldrons with black trim. I will then use the tilt shields to denote sword brethren status with red crosses on a black field. -T14 The_Chaplain and Brother Kraskor 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372918-a-couple-odd-questions-bt-appearance/#findComment-5783384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 a) No, any Templar can do it. It's up to them/you really. It may be more difficult for some armaments to have their weapons chained. Bikers for instance.b) Again, up to you, it could be a personal heraldry, a squad badge, or the Crusade badge. All are valid.

Tokugawa Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Any templar could do it. Any marine can do it, too. Did you watched the trailer of "Spacemarine 2"?

tychobi Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Some folks have a problem loosing mittens and or bolt pistol some do not. No rules other than cool are worth following in space marine heraldry. The cannon is muddled at best. I say find a scheme that works for you and keep it internally consistent. Make your crusade the best one for you!
