geejo Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 As the title says i'm starting a themed army of CSM. I may later use this for gaming but this is mainly for collecting converting and most importantly, PAINTING! I'm thinking of making my men rid with mutations and my chaos lord with lots of them and maybe so many mutations he could even become a Demon prince! With this i am going to make my own chapter and i'll try to think of some fluff though i'm not very creative when it comes to that! Anything i need to know before i make my purchases tomorrow?

Imperialis_Dominatus Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Have you come up with a paintscheme? Fluff? Army list? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146570-starting-a-themed-chaos-army/#findComment-1700301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Come up with an army list before you buy models, and only buy what you'll need. Saves a lot of money.

geejo Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 i'm borrowing my friends book and then writing up a 1000 point list. Then i'll get the stuff. EDIT: here is a tester colour scheme! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146570-starting-a-themed-chaos-army/#findComment-1700688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 That color scheme is very emperor's children. It isn't exactly there scheme of course, but if i walked into a game store and saw an army in that theme my first thought would be "hey, emperor's children!"

geejo Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Sorry i didn't actually know thats emperors children. Thanks for pointing it out, i'm looking for a slanneshi scheme. I bought a Chaos lord and spawn today. I'm planning to use the spawn to convert the lord into a maniac demon prince. I heard that Spawn are poo so i'll hold of making them untill later.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 GW tends to depict emperor's children as pink with black trim, but describes them as wearing clashing, vibrant colors. So a lot of EC players use whatever vibrant clashing color scheme they like.
