re: Schaeffer's Last Chancers' and Gaunt's Ghosts' Uniforms

[Pssyche]

A quick question for accuracy's sake, as I haven't read their books.

With regards to Schaeffer's Last Chancers and Gaunt's Ghosts, do they have specific uniform colours or are they operation dependent?
So, Desert Camo for Desert operations, Jungle Camo for Jungle operations, etc.

I would certainly expect Gaunt's Ghosts to be operation dependent due to their use of Cameleoline, which would mimic it's surroundings.


Thanks in advance for your help!

Gaunt's Ghosts are described as having black fatigues with greenish cameleoline cloaks.
Schaeffer's Last Chancers actually seem to be able to wear whatever they want, which is odd for a Penal Legion.

As long as they accept the mission I don't think Schaeffer cares. And Probably because they're not expected to survive the mission.

I assumed the last chancers wear what they arrive in till issued something otherwise...

The tanith are generally described as wearing dark or black fatigues iirc, but are painted grey in the old WD articles/on the webstore. I think the cloak can essentially be depicted any colour

But don't forget you also now have the Bellaphones (sp?) and the Verghast armour with them

[Charon]

Which were absorbed into the regiment and got the standard issue camo cloaks, straight silver and standard issue armor. They just kept Insignias to remember their past - Gaunt himself wears all 3 insignias

The gear that the Ghosts originally used is maintained and adopted by those elements of foreign regiments that are amalgamated with the Tanith First. So there wouldn't be any difference or variation other than specific character anomalies - such as the few original Ghosts all having "straight silver," which is a specially made Tanith war-knife.

And the Narlwood stocks on the lasguns.

I also didn't think that the newer elements maintained the cloaks, though I do admit it is been far too long since I have read a Ghost book. Dammit BL brink out the next Omnibus.

[Charon]

No, they all get the cloaks.
But they dont get the narlwood stocks as they cant be replaced. Even the "original" Tanith has to use other stocks when their first issued weapon (which was narlwood) got lost/destroyed/...

[Wolfshade]

Yup, do the miners use there pick as their cap badge?
