Hi all
Hope everyones well!

So my Dark Angels are all in the drink, soaking for stripping, some are already scrubbed and dry, but I'm working through the whole sh'bang.
They were previously a custom colour scheme, purple with yellow trim. Black ravenwing and white deathwing.

I'm going to go all codex colours methinks. But I want to paint up various units from each of the successor chapters named in the codex; as if the unit is on loan for a campaign or something. Almost playing the Unforgiven as a legion rather than purely Dark Angels.... ofcourse ruleswise theyre all Dark Angels however.

What I don't know is how the successors do their ravenwing and deathwings? Are they still black bikers and white termies? are the termies still pre heresy black? do they even bother with special colours in the sucessors?

Does anyone know if this has been defined in the fluff already for chapters such as Angels of Vengeance, Absolution etc ?

It's been a while since I've looked but isn't there a small write up about each of the successor chapters in the previous Dark Angels codex?

I've got a 6th edition codex, not a 5th, or a 4th, had a 3rd and a 2nd a long time ago, but sadly those are gone.

If anyone happens to have them, or any other info on this I'd really appreciate it.

That Last one has a Terminator shown ont he lexicanum page with no special paint scheme to the tactical marine.
The others, I don't know ...Don't even know if that last one is correct or not. Or if theres any convention atall.
