Deathwatch (Warhammer 40,000): Difference between revisions

When a Space Marine is granted the honour of becoming a member of the Deathwatch, he will ritually repaint his power armour black. As it is believed to be an insult to the armour's [[Cult_Mechanicus#Machine_Spirits|machine spirit]] if the armour is completely repainted, the shoulder plate bearing the original Chapter's symbol is left untouched and is moved to the right shoulder. The now vacant shoulder is covered with an ornate Deathwatch shoulder plate and a left arm with silver colorings.
