I'm not too steeped on the lore behind the Salamanders, and likewise, Deathwatch. I'm currently assembling and painting my Death Masque set and chose a Salamander with, naturally, a heavy flamer and I want to keep my modelling/painting choices as close to the lore as possible. With that said:

I know the Salamanders are expert craftsmen and typically have unique and ornate armor each marine crafts themselves. I was wondering if the same applies for Salamanders of Deathwatch. Would the Inquisition frown upon Salamanders customizing the typical black armor of the Deathwatch?

As long as they paint most of it black anyway]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701476/8881408.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701476/8881408.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701476/8881415.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701476/8881415.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701476/8883071.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701476/8883071.page GMT DW members have Inquisition issue Mk. VIII armour, some will be using the armour they came with, so that could be very ornamental.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701476/8884895.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701476/8884895.page GMT
It does make sense to me that DW wouldn't suppress one of the core attributes of a Chapter -- in this case, the Salamanders -- from practicing their fundamental chapter rites and rituals. But I had to consider that, similarly to any actual real-world army, there would have to be some uniformity, particularly given the standard-issue black armor. I understand that, at the very least, ALL black armor is unacceptable as it is disrespectful to the Emperor.

I appreciate the info!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701476/8885574.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701476/8885574.page GMT
