Hello, friends! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I am looking for some advice and help:
I've decided to build an all-beaky early post-Heresy Dark Angel army. I intend to use beaky heads, studded shoulder pads, and black paint. I want the army to have a real Rogue Trader feel to it. I was going to use all Mk6 armor but it's just too hard/expensive to do. Since the army will be early post-Heresy I will be able to use any Mark of armor and just slap beaky heads and studded shoulder pads on them. I'm going to paint red stripes down the noses.
Do spiky shoulder pads always go on the left?
If I put the studded shoulder pads on the left does that mean I put the chapter symbol on the left?
Does that mean that there is nowhere to put squad marking?
In the Rogue Trader era did company marking go on the knee?
The Deathwing was still black back then. Did they use the red broken sword symbol with their black armor?
I assume that the Ravenwing would look pretty much as it does now. Am I right?
Is there anything that you see that I'm missing? Do you have any suggestions?
I think this will be a fun project. If it works out I'll end up with a distinctly different army than anyone else in the San Antonio area is playing. Making 1st Legion banners to go with this army could be a lot of fun. Lastly, I'll get to use an honest-to-God 6th Edition codex real soon (which HAS to be better than my Tyranids codex). Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance... Cope
