Need help with Imperial Knight color schemes

Hobby

Hey guys,

Im just wondering if anyone had any color recommendations for the knightly houses. For example, what color is house cadmus? What accent color and yellow does it use? Also, freeblades - any color schemes would help.

Unsure what house / freeblade I want to build and would love any help you guys can provide. I figure this thread could be a good repository for any house/freeblade. Thanks!

Your best best is to look up the actual historical reference. Cadmus was the founder and first king of Thebes. Look for colours that reference those places and people. I believe Thebes is Gold, Black, and White. Find classical paintings of soldiers and diplomats from Thebes and work from there.

I can get the initial colors easily enough. It's the citadel specific colors I'm looking for.

House Cadmus.

If you look at the other knight-related pages on the wiki you may find something you like. Just googling "40k Imperial Knights" will show you a number of well-painted examples too.

Haven't had a lot of luck googling. For example, in that wiki you posted it just says Forest Green, Silver, yellow. What green? Caliban? Waaagh! Flesh?

I don't know why color scheme they have on the box but maybe seeing if its listed there. Other than that I can't really help. I hope you find it though !

Yeah, the instruction booklet has a number of color schemes, I didn't realize u/dreddriver wanted the literal colors.

Yeah it took me a minute to figure it out, although he did post it rather clearly I just skimmed lol And now that I'm thinking, does the imperial knight companion have the paints listed ? If it does it might be worth purchasing

No worries. I'll update the thread with anything I find out.
