aura_enchanted Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 i have a weird question of theme or trend amongst units im painting, i just got my hands on BaC and i thought it would be nice to do the terminators up in legion colors, perhaps with modern contemporary markings but im wondering if theyd fit in with the rest of them my land raider and normal terminators are all in their contemporary beige colors with green acents and silver n such. my company master in tda wears green as hes not standing in for belial and hes doing his thing my chaplain and librarian are in their expected blue and blacks so would it be weird to go with the black on red of the legion? im mainly doing them for funzies as i have all the terminators i want right now and too give me a few more generic nators and a replacement standard bearer after my last ones standard broke off, so one will bear the deathwing banner on his back so keep that in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Weird, not at all, sounds like they'd be pretty awesome looking. Totally in line with the current fluff, probably not, since all indications are that all the Terminators bear the "bone-white" at this point, but who cares if you really want to do it. If you need a story, maybe they are Consecrators that have been seconded to your army for some brotherhood. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 You can always paint them as a black sucessor chapter since the Unforgiven Deathwing are known to cooperate with each other. But to answer your question yes, it would be a bit strange to have bone white terminators and black terminators with DA markings but it's nothing that makes heads turn in disgust. :) Cheers.

Isiah Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I think the idea's great. My First Company have black armour mainly because I'm not good at painting bone. Btw and off topic: I also have some Napoleonic Brunswickers -- they also wore black. There is a theme emerging :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhavoc Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Maybe this would help: Wings mentioned in "Unremembered Empire" (Uniform is Black with Red/Martian Gold (?) Trim) Deathwing - (Crossed Swords Insignia) Ravenwing - Stormwing - Assault Squads (?) Dreadwing - (Skull in Hourglass Symbol) There was also the scene when they are trying to get the Night Haunter off of thier Battle Barge using Assault Marines with Breacher Shields with Zero-G maneuvering packs in the Stormwing.

Isiah Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hmmm... that reminds me, I must get hold of Unremembered Empire. Good info on the wings. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhavoc Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 In "Unremembered Empire" the Dark Angels are said to have 5 "Wings" in the Legion. Only the Deathwing, Stormwing & Dreadwing are actually mentioned by name. I assume that the Ravenwing had to exist as it is such an integral part of the DA. Another possible "Wing" has existed, called the "Ironwing" in 3rd Ed? It was supposed to be the DA 3rd Company and basically a DA armoured task force.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Actually it is 6 wings and there was also Stormwing named. According to new info the Ironwing is also another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Runner Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Have the army set sometime between M30 and M40 so they are still post scouring era, but pre the Plains World incident where the armour was recoloured. it's a big ol' setting and you can do whatever you want with it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhavoc Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I did mention the Stormwing! Those photos look amazing. I wonder if I could kit up "Betrayal at Calth" Marines to look like that or just wait for Forge World to put them out? I was going through the Forge World webpage and noticed they haven't done the Lion yet. Maybe we'll get a HH Book all our own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
