Salamander Mantles

By venkelos, in Deathwatch

What colors do Nocturne's famous drakes come in? I want to give a character something inspired by a Salamander mantle, and most of the art shows green, the Salamander's chapter color, but then the mini for Vulkan Hae'stan has his stand out by being white, with reddish scales in patches, and I'd think if anyone's mantle should be right, it'd be that guy. Is there an official range for this?

No idea, but whatever colour you want really.

Something that goes well with green, which means anything but blue essentially.

I assume green is the standard; I think Vulkan's is supposed to be from a rare albino.

Well, He'stan is a forgefather, so I guess he deserves a litte more "special" mantle. I guess for a "normal" Salamander I'd use mostly green. But for example ornaments could be of any colour.

Thank you much. Aedan's salamander-skin coat is, I think, going to be light and dark green, to sort of go with what I see, and is supported here, typical for the mantles. Some light green and gold trim carapace armor will round out the model, making for a dashing Rogue Trader whose rubbed elbows with some rather important people. Now, if I can just greenstuff the coat to look scaly...Youtube, don't fail me now, whenever I get around to project-doing.
