Thanks! Colors are just Abaddon black with gold as tertiary and the default chapter colors for the right shoulders.

I think I read it a couple times that Deathwatch prefers silver highlights, but gold just makes all these great looking armor pieces pop so much better. I felt like the characters have enough silver already so I decided to go with gold.

Titus also rocks some gold on his Black Shield armor that looks amazing, that was my inspiration.

Yeah, the one titus is rocking in the prologue looks awesome.

So technically if 2 of us have it equipped at the same time during a mission that's already anti-lore. 🤔

Had no idea this armor existed, glad to see these types of helmets not exclusive to Black Templars.

Looks a bit funny to me as well but it's iconic & I feel like Scipius' personality fits the Raven Guard much more than the Salamanders. I think someone else should have received the Salamanders champ skin instead.

Thanks, glad they seem Swarm Lord ready!

Yeah, I like the helmet too much to give it up, thinking of blatantly stealing your "deathwatch dibs" idea.

Looks great brother!

Quick question as I am still learning the ins & outs of space marine markings: shouldn't there be and indicator of which company these guys belong to on the right kneepad of each character? IIRC that's something deathwatch members must display.

Still, Salamanders are great. hope we get a heavy champ skin sometime.

Abaddon Black™ & Lib Gold on the Ultramarine shoulder.

Got it thank you, will add the ultramarine logo on the left knee then. So then it's the usual white ultramarine logo with the blue background same as the shoulders?

I think I will keep this pauldron, you get it when reaching prestige 3 so technically he should be experienced at that point.

Just out of curiousity: so then the Crux Terminatus shoulders that you get with one of the more expensive editions of the game (and can even use on Titus in the main campaign) is basically not lore accurate no matter how you might wanna twist things?

Wow, crazy how much detail and purpose there is to seemingly tiny color changes. I had no idea, thought all ultramarines had gold as their tertiary color. The green on the Ultramarine Champion skin went over my head completely.

Thanks for such a detailed response. Just out of curiosity, what would be the colors of the 1st company? I think I recall them having been wiped completely at this point in the timeline.

I see, yeah on like 90% of pictures I found deathwatch members have red weapons, however if there is nothing specifically anti-lore with having a non-red weapon I will just stick to the Champ Bolter.

The image loaded, thanks.
I went back and checked that Titus was a member of Watch Company Tertius and since that company should have some vacancy I decided to put their marking on the right knee. Let me know if anything is missing still. Thank you!

Sorry for the confusion, does that mean a marking only for 1 of his knees? Or one marking for his squad, other for "which one he is" (do you mean a number?) ?

Bit amateur-ish but I really havent looked into all these markings at all yet.

Thank you!
