What!!!? Non-red World Eaters?? Blasphemy I tells ya!
Actually, it depends on how far you go back. If I want to be true to the old Realm of Chaos books, the World Eaters kept one piece of their old armour (Blue /white) with their red (a peicemeal look) as a reminder from where they came.
Then there is the background or rumour that their armour slowly turned red with the blood of their enemies. So in fact, to be true to the original background, one would have to paint one or two blue/white panels on the armour - much like Marine #3 in the examples I provided at the top of this page.
Reality is however that at an Epic scale, it would look as if you did not finish the mini, so I am stuck with red, black and gold. To break it up a bit, I have to admit that I am guilty and a blasphemer to boot
Edit: There is also the whole idea that the right hand was always red on the World Eaters. This is also evidenced on the third model in the example. I may do this for the next lot of berserkers...
Make sure you keep full-res pictures, encase i ever get time to do more on that WE modelling guide ...not sure where all the files went actually, changed computer/OS a fair few times in the last year
