Dangles painting their Termies bone was a Post-HH thing right? Pre- they were all in black?


E: Huh, I didn't realize that apparently they only painted them white much much later:

Wikia posted:

The Deathwing Company's Astartes later painted their Terminator Armour in a bone-white colour scheme to remember the lone squad of Dark Angels Terminators who defended a Dark Angels recruitment planet known as Plain's World from a Tyranid Genestealer invasion. These Terminators painted their armour white, the colour of death, as they believed that they would never survive the confrontation. Surprisingly, these Terminators proved successful in reclaiming the world and in doing so saved a crucial part of the Dark Angels' cultural heritage and the genetic diversity of the Chapter.

And the first documented encounter with Genestealers was at Ymgarl around 500M41 so it had to have been after that.

So presumably there was a long period of time when they had green terminators.

Maybe that's canon now, but I think at one stage of the fluff the genestealer story (The Tale of Two Heads Talking) was described as an allegory, or just one of the many stories told to marines at various times during their ascension through the circles of the Dangles. Part of the whole secrets and lies business - it might be true, or half true, or sheer bullshit. Perhaps the Deathwing wore bone for a good deal longer.

I would also still appreciate some danger.



IIRC the bone was to honor the loss of Calliban, with the Genestealer tale being a misdirection.

Thanks for the encouragement re: my painting, friends. :)

I have a rules question - how does Sniper affect weapons with high strength that, normally, would wound on a lower roll than the 4+ specified by the Sniper rule?

For example, if I had a Veteran Tac Squad with a Plasma Gun, would it still wound a regular Marine on a 4+, or would the Strength 8 of the Plasma Gun override that rule and wound on a 2+?

I'm confused. I've been playing 40k for years and I've honestly never had a high strength weapon with sniper.
