Adulators Chapter Colour Scheme as displayed by a Firstborn Space Marine of the 2nd Company.
The Adulators is a Codex Astartes-compliant Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown Founding and genetic origin. This Chapter held a distant agreement to support the Shrine World of Ras Shakeh, in the Ras Sub-sector. However, by the 41st Millennium their ranks were so stretched in commitments across the galaxy that they declared themselves no longer able to contribute to its defence.
For this reason, the Adepta Sororitas garrison sought the help of the Space Wolves Chapter, which had held a similar agreement with the Shrine World some five thousand standard years before, when the sub-sector was claimed by the Adeptus Ministorum.
The Adulators were described by the Sisters of Battle of the Order of the Wounded Heart as dutiful, efficient and predictable -- even mordantly dull and unimaginative. They are considered to be steeped in the ways of the Sororitas and on surprisingly close terms with the holy orders of the Ecclesiarchy for a Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes.
Chapter Appearance[]
Chapter Colours[]
The Adulators Chapter wears dark blue-grey power armour with white trim on the shoulder plates. The Aquila or Imperialis on the chest is also white.
The white squad tactical specialty symbol -- battleline, close support, fire support, Veteran or command -- is indicated on the right shoulder guard.
A black High Gothic numeral centred in the middle of the squad specialty symbol indicates squad number.
The colour of a battle-brother's helmet indicates company number in accordance with Codex Astartes-approved heraldry -- i.e. white (1st Company), yellow (2nd Company), red (3rd Company), etc.
Chapter Badge[]
The Adulators' Chapter badge is a large white skull centred on a field of dark blue-grey. A red Iron Halo icon is centred in the middle of the skull's forehead.
