Painting librarians and chaplains

[hunk]

Hey guys I have a quick question do I have to paint librarians and chaplains the regular color or can it be my own color scheme. Thank you for your time.

there is no rule anywhere that says you have to paint anything a specific color.

Thanks!!!! My friend was giving me a little of a hard time over me painting up a librarian my color scheme.

not something i'd loose sleep over. libby's are generally blue, chaplains are black. no one should really bat an eye if you don't adhere to this and there's certainly no rules support for it.

It depends on how close to the codex your marines are. A strict codex chapter would certainly have librarians, chaplains, and techmarines in their appropriate colors (blue, black, and red respectively) and chapter colors only on the paldroun of the chapter symbol. A non-strict codex (think space wolves or blood angels) will do whatever they want.

And there is no rules that say all of your marines cant be hot pink with neon highlights.

I'd say paint and play how you'd want to. I'm not sure what the fluff says (I'm not a fluff player), but if it says that they should be painted in standard chaplain colors, you can easily write some background as to why your company of minotaurs does things differently. Maybe they encountered alpha legion who sniped out all of their apothecaries, leading to the death of several more marines and the loss of their geneseed. As such, your company of marines wears all of their armor as the same color to avoid a similar disaster befalling them in the future.
