Comandante Alexos Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 As mentioned above I'm asking more information about the colour for the D.C. members armour. In some White Dwarf I've seen them painted in Fortress grey, in other occasions with the classic black/red crosses scheme. Could someone tell me which one is the right one? Moreover, the Honour Guard which colours displays? And Veterans? Please help me! <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89688-flesh-tearers-need-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannus Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 One FT army featured in WD reversed the colors - black armour with red helmet and pads. Other FT armies I've seen paint the DC in the same way as the Blood Angels. The forces of the Flesh Tearers are seriously depleated (the Chapter numbers only about 400 now) and so each Marine is expected to serve in a variety of roles. Consequently, no special markings are used for Devistators, Assault Marines, etc. There is no "Veteran" Company as too many fall to the black rage. No special markings are used.

-Q- Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Yep :ph34r: Here's how I do mine: http://www.pbase.com/image/26999194.jpg My Honor Guard scheme is gold with the Black Helmet and Shoulderpads. Veterans I give gold trim on the Shoulderpads and a Crux on one. Nothing official published on any of it, so there is no "right one" unless by the grace of the Emperor we get some attention in the Blood Angels Codex a few years from now. Current imagery can't even keep the lens colors consistent. I would suggest making up your own colors and markings and keep them consistent across your army. You'll be one step ahead of GW on the issue :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89688-flesh-tearers-need-help/#findComment-1031733 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comandante Alexos Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 Thank you Bannus, as always a precious source of knowledge! -Q- Nice colour scheme, I think I'd use you marine as example for my future army ;) Zbo the link doesn't work!! :unsure: B Atheos. Yes, I remember that article. It was an old background piece published during the 3rd War for Armageddon and now included in the Index Astartes. What a shame, only 4 pages for a so interesting army...and written for.... er maybe five years ago?

Mertio23 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I always did the Death Company in the same way as the Blood Angels ones, but gave them green eye pieces. And of course the correct chapter badge on one shoulder... For the vets, I always painted them as per a normal Flesh Tearer, and painted a white skull on the right shoulder pad. I always painted the honour guard in regular Flesh Tearer colours, but with the gold helm. Hope this helps.

Maladon Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 When GW did the IA rules for Flesh tearers, the death company was dark grey with red shoulder pads... so since people seem to think that what Heavy metal painters paint are the official colors.... there you go!

-Q- Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 zbo is thinking of Chaplain Desmodus' Flesh EATERS which are not Flesh TEARERS. ;) Maladon that's good logic, however logic does not apply to GW. The problem is that the IA White Dwarf article used the grey but the later released IA Book used standard BA DC colors. So if we were to apply your logic then GW wanted to correct their grey mistake and make the FT DC standard black. I am confident that the real reason why GW used both images is simply that they had those miniatures available from an employee or friend of an employee rather than being specifically assigned to the HM team with any official guidelines. The fact that the article never mentions any differentiation in DC coloring further supports the idea that the photos are just those particular painters' interpretations. Actually, relating to zbo's link to the Chaplain's website... that's actually a very good idea ;) With the new Black Templar sprue, it'd be very easy to emulate the robe concept by giving your DC tabards. You could either go with repainted black armor and red tabards or even leave the armor color the same and give them all black tabards. I think either would work well!

Blckbuster Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I think -Q- 's on the right track, I have that articale in front of me, and those FT were not painted by HM easy to tell too, the paint job is the flatest most plastic looking I've seen in a while. I think there's a great feelling to the mostly black DC, and the black in the basic FT color scheme almost makes you think the black rage is already creeping into all the FTs but I might be crazy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89688-flesh-tearers-need-help/#findComment-1032386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
