During the Games Day event, a large mannequin was displayed with a Tactical Marine in gunmetal grey, with white coloured shoulder pads trimmed in dark green (it is unclear if this was intended to mark the company or to be the trim for the whole chapter) with knee pads in bone colour.{{Fn|1}} This was reiterated in the novel [[Soul Hunter (Novel)]] where [[Talos Valcoran]] notes a salvaged thigh guard from a Steel Confessors power armour to be gunmetal grey.
Demonstratively, this is in contrast to the way the miniatures were painted for games day, with multiple photographs giving them a more bluish hue, with some marines sporting a red knee cap. The reason for this discrepancy is not clear.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|11}}{{Fn|12}}<Sup>[[Steel_Confessors#Miniatures| See Miniatures]]</Sup> The Terminator mannequin on games day also a sported red stripe with white trim.{{Fn|2}}An anecdotal 2014 fan report alleges that their local games store used "mithril silver mixed with a spot of blue ink for a blued steel armour". This is corroborated with the available images of the miniatures thus far.{{Fn|12}} The reason for this discrepancy is not clear, though may have a simple explanation. "Space Wolf Grey", a GW paint colour and typically used to represent the [[Space Wolves]] official chapter colors of grey on their official miniatures is, is subjectively, somewhat blue.{{Fn|14}} It is feasible this definition of "grey" was being applied by the painters of the Steel Confessors miniatures.<gallery widths="100" heights="150" mode="nolines">File:Space Wolf Grey.png|Space Wolf "Grey"{{Fn|14}}Wolfguard4.jpg|Space Wolf "Grey"Arjac-Rockfist2025.jpg|Space Wolf "Grey"</gallery>
