Each veteran unit has a different color they paint their helmet with. Uttuakki are orange. Ashurbani are purple. I haven't named the others yet but if you have a particular color you like I can make a new veteran squad and give you the first member that I paint. He will also be ridiculously equipped, for sure.
I do like the Uttuakki ! The orange is awesome, next to the blue & black !!
[edit : on a side note, and considering your post on the Swap thread, I might be tempted, if you're still up for it... The soon-to-happen SM release has me all psyched !!! ]

Maybe he's not a normal chaplain, maybe he's the keeper of the death company equivalent. Astorath isn't black, he's red. Xavier wore almost entirely green.
@Alfndrate, whalemusic360 - I think a nonblack chaplain would be cool. I wouldn't try to argue that with moonpie though. He has no imagination and doesn't like armies that go against tradition. I should know, he and I have argued this same thing for over twenty years now.

Take the blood angel symbol but replace the blood droplet with a shard of ice and make the wings blue.
@Yggdrasil - thanks! I'd love to do a trade. I don't think I sent any ice angels to France yet. Do you have any requests?

20 Years and noone has put forth a compelling arguement that pursuades the other thru logic, wit and undeniable cold hard data? Ah... True friendship!

There have been plenty of discussion involving logic but moonpie doesn't handle logic well. It usually turns into him crossing his arms and repeating something like, "No, that's not how it should be. ". He will then change the subject.

Skull helmet + black armour + big stick=chaplain.
Too bad Chaplains only paint their armor black due to tradition started by the heretical dogs of the XVII Legion after Monarchia. Technically Chaplains only need the Crozius Arcanum to be Chaplains as that is their staff of office.
But it doesn't matter as players can paint their models however they want. I'd paint my Chappys black because my space marines are loyal sons of the Emperor, and the Ice Angels might be a codex chapter, but they might deviate a bit more than say my Ultramarines.

They do use xenos tech and get sent on a suicide mission after all. I think you should make your chaplain blue, tech marines black, and librarians red, just to make Moonpie's head actually explode.
Forgot Apothecaries. They can be blue as well.

Whale, your post made my day! Thank you.
Lets get back to some serious business though. I now have three Marine Swaps to work on. Motivation has returned! I'm still working on specifics on builds and such but expect some WIP pictures soon. In other exciting news, moonpie is bringing over the new space marine codex. Tiger Claw lists will soon be created. WOOT!

There's just nothing in the new book that changes the marine paradigm within the current meta. Yes, things area bit cheaper and they've got some new toys. LS Storms are now a dedicated transport, etc. Nice things all round. But nothing that changes SM from a (lower) second tier army to a first tier army. But then we all new that... there already were two 6th edition SM codecii out there, so their hands were tied when it came to making substantive changes.
It's not the end of the world... but I think SMs are solidly in the "fluff army" category. Nothing wrong with that. For the most part all I play are fluff armies. Just see them for what they are.
Anvildude: "Honestly, it's kinda refreshing to see an Ork vehicle that doesn't look like a rainbow threw up on it."
Great codex or not, you can still win with superior tactics and some good dice rolls. How do you think I won 4 out of 5 games last year with my fluffy DA list?
But enough of the complaining, it just came out, give it some time.
Back to MY P&M! If I'm painting a Tiger Claw that is in the early stages of chaos corruption, what color should the angelic jump pack wings be?
