I know I asked about the Ebon Chalice and the vehicle colors a while back during 7th edition.  I am curious if GW has updated anything regarding this order in terms of the vehicles.  All I have is a picture of a blood red tank on one of the Lexicons showing a rhino named Repenta that is blood red.

After sitting on several boxes of the new sisters for about a year or so now.  I want to go again with the 2nd Ebon Chalice colors.  I really dig those, going to go with the slightly more updated look that GW presented with 8th and 9th as I didn't care for or agree with the red light on the breast plates from 2nd.  

I did find a single picture in the 9th codex that I think is representing Ebon Chalice and a single rhino.  It looks like the hull and secondary are all black.  I may go with that, and I do think the red tanks looked great alongside the models using Ebon Chalice colors as long as decorations and weapons, are kept uniform in look.  I did get a lot of questions on why red and not black.  I know they are my own models, and I am just curious as what's the official lore on the tanks for Ebon Chalice.  Any help be great, thank you all and hopefully I can update my blog post as how the new army goes.

I may go with all black for the tank.  Seeing as that's about the only recent update I did find.  I did paint the red strips down the breast plate also like Agnis.  It just feels wrong to me now.  I did end up selling my metal army off back around when the pandemic started.  I had gone with blood red tanks-based off the one rhino picture I had found around 2015/2016 time frame.

Traditional lore has always leaned toward black-and-white schemes for the Ebon Chalice, with the black representing their devotion and the white symbolizing purity. The red vehicles, like the Rhino “Repenta,” are likely from older interpretations or artistic choices that don’t strictly align with the current codex’s aesthetic.


I ended up painting mine a solid black color for the body based on the current version in the last two codexes.
