Every seems to be talking about the other SM characters, so I thought that I would ask if there is any stuff about Sicarius?

The only thing I have heard is that he can give make one unit fearless, even if he's not attached to that unit!

I'd take it with a grain of salt, as it's nothing more than a rumor I have heard from Warseer way!

Thanks,

Additional rumors gives say he has ye olde ld10 for the whole army thing, which is gone from the standard captain/master and the special characters.

I hope more special characters keep the rites of battles, seems kinda silly if every special character has dropped; it would be like saying all the greatest heroes are the people who learned not to follow that particular play book. That may or may not be the case or message but still. It did strike me as odd that they changed him substantially from his limited ed. version.

I hope we can get more on the other special characters.

This is a tiny bit off topic, but when did the Ultramarines color scheme change? I mean, we have the Codex Astartes dictating what colors each company of a chapter should adopt. The Ultramarines are the image of the Codex Astartes. Why are they all wearing gold shoulder trim now? Don't get me wrong. I love the blue and gold. I was just wondering if any of you "in the know" people could share some information.

Thanks.

not to continue this off-topic too far, but to bolster CaptainLoken's point, the Graham McNeil Ultramarine novels revolve around 4th Company yet all the cover art is of Gold trimmed marines. Personally thats why I am fielding 3rd Company. Red trim to match the Bolters.

look in insignium astartes :
color scheme shoulderpad trims ultras is :
1st=white, 2nd= yellow,3rd=red,, 4th=green, 5th=black,6th=orange, 7th=purple,8th=grey,9th=blue, 10th= has no trim.
Weapon housing is red.

look in Codex Space Marines :
color scheme shoulderpad trims is variable shown.Some pics have yellow,other gold as trim color (page 60+61). :S
In heraldry terms gold and yellow are identical.But look at the weapons,the marines with gold trims got black weapon housing,the
marines using yellow got it red.The codex is from 2004,so the change must happened then.

GW did the main color for ultras in ultramarine"baby"blue, then changed to regal blue.
The weapons were red in 1998 and black in 2004.

A little unstable,their ultramarine colors,for a conservative codex chapter.

Insignium Astartes also states that each Chapter should periodically alter their markings to avoid enemy over-familiarisation. Hence knee pads or chest eagle indicating company colour rather than shoulder pad trim. The book even states that some Imperial historians date events using the UM's markings of the time as reference.

Mainly they did it because GW loves to fuel the raging wars between shrieking nerdlings who think that yellow is the ONLY colour you should use instead of gold. And crap, it's just pathetic the way these people tell others how things should be done.

I don't think GW changed colors to fuel any war, its just a way to get UM from bright-colors to a darker scheme.
