Brother Tyler Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I always find it interesting when a player determines that the key terrain of his Chapter's homeworld determines the color scheme used by the army. Such a thought process indicates defensive thinking - something not in line with the Adeptus Astartes. Additionally, such a practice also indicates a thought process whereby a Chapter desires to blend in with the environment - camouflage. Again, such thinking is contrary to the beliefs of *most* Chapters (although not all of them). In truth, there could be any number of reasons for your Chapter having a red color scheme: The world orbits a red star and the Chapter cultivates its status as "Warriors of the Stars" by wearing armor the color of the sun Red is the color of warriors, worn to disguise blood and inflame the passion The battle-brothers really want to stand out, and the color red is uncommon among the native human population, so achieves the desired affect etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84237-why-are-my-marines-red/#findComment-975121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Van Gallieon Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Taking the above points into consideration, you could even make a point of this by taking the "Have Pride in Your Colours" trait?

brilas_of_the_2nd Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 well my chapter the Sons Of Arioch are black and yellow and they live on an ice world...black for the pain they have suffered and yellow for a new dawn for their chapter.....so it makes sense plus when your almost 9 feet tall and clad in power armor blending in is the least of your priorities....:lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84237-why-are-my-marines-red/#findComment-980697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
