Helias_Tancred Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) Just curious, since those of you on here are very knowledgeable on the chapter .... One, there is no official chest plastron color for us right? Two, which color do you use on your black templars? I've used AP gunmetal and a brighter GW highlight, but I'm tempted to go a brass color? Edit: I'm pretty strong on chapter lore (I've read everything BL has put on on them), but this is my first real go at collecting, painting, and playing Black Templars ;) Edited July 15 by Helias_Tancred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Marshal Reinhard Posted July 15 Solution Share Posted July 15 (edited) It's changed a lot. Typically it's been a metal color, like silver, gold or brass more recently. White or bone. If you go way way back you can even find a time when chest colour was meant to signify company markings, but that hasn't been since our first codex. I use white, which i find matches nicely with the shoulder pads Edited July 15 by Marshal Reinhard Helias_Tancred and Brother Carpenter 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Carpenter Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Always thought it was white after codex Armageddon. So all mine are some shade of white. I even think in how to paint space marines it is actually mentioned as white. But your plastic soldiers your choice Helias_Tancred 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helias_Tancred Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 (edited) I like the bone color too with a yellowish tint, from using Seraphim Sepia as the shade on it. Edited July 18 by Helias_Tancred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted Sunday at 05:06 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:06 PM I always forget about this question because so many Templars have a tabard that hides the plastron. lol. i would try to keep it close to the tabard color you use so that they look similar collectively. so mine tended to be a dirty white bone color. but arguments for contrast are valid, just not my preference.
