Brother Atheos Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 As I am sure most of you know, the 13th company make use of chaos parts and weapons mixed in with their own stuff. The one thing I don't know is what colour I should paint these parts. Any advice/preferances? Pics to come shortly. <~ Brother Atheos ~> Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89801-13th-company/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnum_opera Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Several Concerned Cricketers painted an arm in Thousand Sons colors, what with the rivalry between the two... You could do that, or just use a myriad of different schemes. Paint a few Chaos arms like 'normal' 13th Company arms, paint some in enemy colors, or for the ultimate diss... Paint a arm like the pre-Heresy Dark Angels (black, red insignia), have it come from a slain Fallen, and deface the Chapter logo!

Daeothar Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Mostly the colours of the chapter/unit/legion/whatever they salvaged them from. But with SW grey, red and gold or black and gold seem to work best. Still, no reason why they couldn't usurp parts from say, The Pyre, or Thousand Sons. whatever rocks your boat really...

Brother Atheos Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Thanks for the quick replies. I was thinking about Thousand Sons colours but now you've mentioned Pre-Heresy DA i may have to litter a few in my Wulfen Sqds. I Think i'll knock up the test model as TS and go from there.

Angelos Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 If you have more than one chaos part on a model i would recomment using 2 different chapers on it, if you look at GW 13th Company they used Black Legion and Word Bearers on the same models which leaves a nice touch :tu: Cant wiat to see the test in TS!

Gorin Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 If you have a regular Chaos oponents (or hevbe your own chaos force) try to use their colours, it comes out quite good when fithing them again i nthe armour of their fallen traitors :angry: and gives a narrative part to your army Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89801-13th-company/#findComment-1033132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I like Gorin's idea. That would put smiles on your opponents faces :angry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89801-13th-company/#findComment-1033175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serine Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Bits of everything I'd say. I think if you have multiple squads, different chaos parts can be designation for squads :o That and the 13th company are equal-opportunity pack rats.

Brother Atheos Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Erk... the TS Idea hasn't gone too well (no blue ink) so i think i'll stick to Black Legion (silver instead of gold though) and Word bearers as i have a tried and tested method. I like the idea of putting my regular chaos opponents colour on my mini but it may look a bit odd as its those boring old IWs he plays as. Test mini should be done by midday (GMT) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89801-13th-company/#findComment-1033395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Atheos Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Here's the job so far... http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h80/Fezbah/DSCF0009.jpg I haven't higlighted all the areas yet (gold especially) but have done a few on the legs which didnt show too well aswell as the black chestplate. c&c always welcome, <~ Brother Atheos ~> Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89801-13th-company/#findComment-1033435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KolliIronbear Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 With that last guy, i would recommend snipping off the horns and painting them like the 13th co guy sliced them off. To me, at the moment, he still looks far too chaos-y. Good painting though :) Kolli Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89801-13th-company/#findComment-1033596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneArmedMidget03 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I think they'd rahter cut their head off then wear the helm of a traitor. Well...at least I would if I were a space marine. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89801-13th-company/#findComment-1033648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Although it looks nice, I'd have to agree with the others. Wearing chaos armor would fall short of any overtly chaotic imagery/iconography. They would let the wulfen knaw on the bits a few hours first to have them suitably "cleansed" :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89801-13th-company/#findComment-1033707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 On the overall look, i will agree with those before me, that the mini does still look a tad bit too chaos-ie, but some simple changes here and there would work fine to reduce the look. On the painting aspect of things, very nice mini there, excellent work :D *Must resist desire to start up a 13th Co for a while* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89801-13th-company/#findComment-1033712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorin Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Try to get rid of the chaos star o nthe belt I think they would cut it all off before puting the armour on( as te other sugested) Why is the helmet Violet if they're black legion??

Vashiel Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Definitely remove any Chaotic insignia/Horns, but try to leave a trace behind, to show what was there before it was crudely removed by the SWs.

Brother Atheos Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Why is the helmet Violet if they're black legion?? Thanks for the c&c guys. I agree about the overly chaotic look of the mini. I guess its something i'll have to keep an eye on when i do the real deal. As for the purple helmet, i wanted to add some colour other than black and grey, and seeing as purple is quicker and easier to paint than the other 3 gods colours i thought i'd use it as test. Once again thanks for the c&c. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89801-13th-company/#findComment-1033753 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself played 13th Company many moons ago,and I made sure that the Chaotic elements were suitably defaced.
