Michael, I do not mean to come across as pointing out that your sources are
wrong. As you have put up on your webpage, these info came from WD 126 right
? What I am trying to say is that these are merely my opinions, which I am
aware is not in line with 40K universe according to WD (esp. the older ones).

But, BA does have a veteran assault squad, which is not what the Codex
recommend :) And they do not follow the colourings as well as the markings
as laid out in the old boring Codex.

keep the black colourings ?

What about rampage ? I think even then, the WEaters practiced pyscho-surgery
(it was frowned upon, but permitted due to its effectiveness as shock
tactics) on their recruits. IIRC it wired the WEaters' pleasure centers with
psychotic behaviours. But this is just from post-STC memory.
