Are dreadnoughts the same color as Deathwing Terminators? or are they just green like regular Dark Angels? Does it depend who they're running with?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566717/6314842.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566717/6314842.page GMT The color of Dark Angels dreadnoughts DW terminator I think it would be bone coloured. Dunno exact fluff though but it makes sense to me]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566717/6314897.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566717/6314897.page GMT Re:The color of Dark Angels dreadnoughts
Some longest serving Dreadnoughts are crewed by Dark
Angels who served with the First Company and they still bear
the bone white armour of the Deathwing. These Venerable
Dreadnoughts have borne witness to the Chapter's secret
hunt and members of the Inner Circle still seek their advice.
It is difficult to rouse the eldest of the machines, and many
legends slumber in the Halls of Silence, powered down
between actions and awoken only in dire need.


Basically the venerables are supposed to be bone colored, while the standard dreadnoughts are green.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566717/6314900.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566717/6314900.page GMT Re:The color of Dark Angels dreadnoughts

Fluff-wise it depends on whether they were inducted to the inner circle before being interned in a dreadnought. This is from the codex

Okay... that's what I thought... I wasn't sure...

But since its just a fluff question thats debatable, and since it influences the stats and cost as well... A Riflemen basically doesnt benefit from the Venerable upgrade.
But thats just me, and I like my DA with units from every wing present - my future DW lists sports a libby on a bike with a RW command squad, and some "green" there is welcomed too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566717/6315305.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566717/6315305.page GMT Re:The color of Dark Angels dreadnoughts

I think I'll just paint the dreadnoughts according who they're running with... so the ones with the regular Dark Angels I'll paint green and the one I got running with Deathwing I will do in Deathwing colors... just for aesthetic purposes.


That's how i would do it personally. Green dreads look really cool too. Maybe make the Deathwing dread a little more ornate too. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566717/6315465.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566717/6315465.page GMT Re:The color of Dark Angels dreadnoughts

That's what I ended up doing when I made the Deathwing one... well not really more ornate... but at least different. For all three I used the Venerable Dread kits... with the Deathwing Dread I put more bits on it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566717/6317209.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/566717/6317209.page GMT
