poLL for the D_C TRUESCALE FIRST FOUNDING CHALLENGE:

[Baron Spikey]

Where does it say that techmarines have to keep their right arm in the original chapter colours? I had a look through Index Astartes, The Space Marine Codex, and the Fluff Bible but I couldn't find anything other than some of the armour must remain in the original colours. It didn't say which part of the armour.

Yeah... But hey.... I never said the Saints were puritans... They are a Cursed Founding after all. Look at the Black Dragons!

[DeAd_cOmMaNdO]

true true. and using that same logic, any chapter can paint up its techmarines any way they see fit. though im sure there will be some red in there somewhere



anywho... to those who havent seen it yet, the iron hand marine is HERE (where ahe you been if yo uahvent seen it?

[BrainDeleted]

Mutants! Delicious!

Cursed found is really my favorite marine idea by GW!!!! But it looks like another wasted idea so far...

[DeAd_cOmMaNdO]

QFT> such a shame really, since id love to see the idea expanded

Look up anythign fluff wise on the Techmarine. The original shoulder pad is kept the chaprters color, and often the arm as well. The sources vary, but at least the shoulder pad, if not the entire arm, is kepy chapter color to appease armors machine spirit.

[Baron Spikey]

yeah the chapter symbol would be the logical place to keep the original chapter colours...

[SteveBerenyi]

could i suggest you use the HVY flamer from the dred instead of the Sentinel? seems that it would look far more appropriate as a 1 handed weapon than a 2 handed weapon.

My 2 cents.

ah but when were flamers ever 1 handed weapons?

TBH, the one i used on the wolrd eater is more likea heavy flamer, which, truth be told, is osmething id expect salamanders (of all chapters) to have!
