What's the Deal with Deathwing's Bone-White Armor Instead of Dark Angels Green?

-

I’m curious about the lore behind the Deathwing Terminators’ unique bone-colored armor. Why did they opt for this color instead of the traditional Dark Angels’ Caliban Green? Is there a historical background for this choice? Also, do regular Dark Angels have their own Caliban Green Terminator units for outer circle veterans?

The Deathwing’s bone-white armor dates back to a legendary battle on a Dark Angels recruiting world. They painted their armor white as a tradition of that planet, especially since they believed they might not come back from the fight. This moment became a significant part of their lore. There’s actually an old short story about it too!

Yeah, that story is quite old, linking back to the Space Hulk era. It seems like the color scheme was established early on, but it’s been retconned a bit too, so the details can get a bit hazy.
