As you see Blood Ravens company in Dawn of War III gameplays are using red shoulder plate rims and red photolenses for the Terminators. Blood Ravens company fighting on Graia and this from thin marines trailer have black shoulder plate rims. IV company from Dawn of War II is using green photolenses for the Terminators.
Someone here know the Blood Ravens company colors or can put a link? I like Blood Ravens colors and they are not Codex Marines so I would like to know their companies colors.
wrrrrm

Apparently we are the only one who noticed. I want the original colors back.

If the Blood Ravens are a codex chapter they would follow this color chart
"Company Colours
Each Company has a unique colour that its members wear, commonly on the shoulder plate rims, but some chapters use chest eagles, bolter cases, knee pads, helmets or other parts of a Space Marine's Power Armour[Needs Citation]:
1st Company: White or Silver (members of the 1st Company should also paint their helmet the company colour).
2nd Company: Yellow or Gold
3rd Company: Red
4th Company: Green
5th Company: Black
6th Company: Orange
7th Company: Purple
8th Company: Grey
9th Company: Blue
10th Company: Nominally white, however the company colour is not displayed on their armour, because of their need to blend with their surroundings on reconnaissance missions."

But they are not, at least not in that. When you lead third company and fourth both have black trim. So they should all have black trim - photo lenses are sometimes green, sometimes red, but I think lore wise they should be green. I already asked this question and received no answer. I just hope it is not cause army painter is unable to do it ...

Yeah, what's with black trims, golden eagles and green eyes? Unless Relic decided to follow the codex and good ole Gabe is leading his own 3rd company like in the past, so they have red trims. But then again, does it matter? Units are overall lacking details and you cannot even zoom in to the very ground like before, many won't even pay any attention to it, lol...

The Blood Ravens are largely codex adherent, but every chapter is free to follow or ignore any parts of the codex they so choose. Unfortunately I don't think anyone has ever taken the time to really flesh out this specific part of their background.

Aren't the Blood Ravens Codex legit with the exception that they have a lot more Librarians than normal? Also I don't think they follow the Codex when it comes to company markings because neither the 3rd or 4th companies had Codex accurate company markings. They all had black trim regardless of company.

I think they did fine with colors when you look at gameplay it is not that bad, yes it could be more grim dark but I think we can overlook it, there are way bigger issues then color of SM
BUTI
Even Ultramarines sometimes got green photolenses for red sergeants helmets. Most of the Chapters using red helmets colors have green photolenses. I think green photolenses may be case of the red helmet color ^^'

brothers the chapter has been debating the colours of our companys for ages
many have worked out the colours by looking at the games, others use the codex of the ultramarines and some just do random
most have made perfect schemes that have shown true faith to the chapter and others..........well need some guidance
personally this is my idea of the scheme
main colours used for :
eyes are always green
armor is challenge because you need to get the right shade of blood red not to dark and not to light not to chaos red not to blood angles red
shoulder plate is always a bone colour again not to dark and not to light
the symbol must be of a raven in flight with a drop of blood
now the way i sorted the colours of most of the companys is by their chest symbols colour
1st Company: all vets so all have white or bone colour helmets with laurel (chest gold?)
2nd Company: "victory over death" bone chest
3rd Company: gold chest + in honor of Gabriel Angelos all of the following are gold chest, symbol on bolters and heavy bolters air exhaust thing is black
4th Company: black chest with a slash of silver and bolters symbol is black
5th Company: silver chest " the fated"
6th Company: ?
7th Company: ?was at Kronus
8th Company: ?
9th Company: ? soulstorm
10th Company: scouts not sure on the scheme but the shoulder with the chapter logo must be bone and the other the chapter blood red armour colour

BROTHERS SISTERS AND MASTERS OF THE CHAPTER i believe we should discuss company identification again we have already done or made a ruff idea or design of company colours for our chapter (if not thanks to me and others) 1st to 5th and 10th companies but what about 6th-9th
1st Company: all vets so all have white or bone colour helmets with laurel (chest gold?)
2nd Company: "victory over death" bone chest
3rd Company: gold chest + in honor of Gabriel Angelos all of the following are gold chest, symbol on bolters and heavy bolters air exhaust thing is black
4th Company: black chest with a slash of silver and bolters symbol is black
5th Company: silver chest " the fated"
6th Company: ?
7th Company: ?was at Kronus?
8th Company: ?
9th Company: ? soulstorm
10th Company: scouts not sure on the scheme but the shoulder with the chapter logo must be bone and the other the chapter blood red armour colour
some suggestions
very white chest symbol (white ravens)
plain black chest symbol
grey chest symbol
wings or skull of the chest symbol white, grey, blood red or a mix of silver and gold either half or each feather
