Starting Red Corsairs


Mr. Bleak

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody! Well, you may have seen me posting infrequently in the loyalist marines section, and after buying a loyalist codex, i decided the frilly good-boy marines weren't for me, so I turned to Chaos! muwhahahah! Anyway, after looking around, i finally settled on the Red Corsairs! Reletively simple-looking paint, job, and it still looks good! The only problem is, I don't know haw I'm gona start them! What I could do is massively convert the AOBR set (using horns and chaotic attachments left over from my Beastherd boxes from Warhammer Fantsasy), and then add a battleforce and the codex, and all that stuff, or I could buy the rulebook seperatley and get the Doombringer annihalation force and a few squads of marines..... I need help!

If your in the UK (not sure other area of the world) & you still check out the White Dwarf. You should check out tale of four gamers where Matt Huston (sp?) is making a Red Corsier army.

 

He went with all the background that is shown in the codex chaos & the new rule book so his army is

 

Huron

Sorcerer, acting as Techmarine from the codex story

Unit of Termies as bodyguards

unit of 9 converted to look like the Space Wolves from the codex story that turn to chaos

unit of 10 Marines

Both with Rhinos

Hopeful this month White Dwarf will show the Night Lords unit, from the background. Just 10 Marines from what I rememeber

Vindacator

Pred.

 

He was keep away from all Daemon stuff like Daemon, Great Daemons, Possessed, Daemon Prince & some other units like Obliterators. He wanted to keep the red corsier as pure chaos marines with no possessed/daemons.

 

From games day

Yes I would start with the Battle force as it give you some bits to convert, nice core. Bezerker can be hire help. If you got any left over Imperial Space Marines bits use them as well to show the recently turn to red corsier from diffrent chapters. Then try get Huron & what ever you please. Also read the background in the codex Chaos & the 5th Ed rule book.

There is also a Red Corsairs possessed model in the 5th edition rulebook, so I'm pretty sure possessed are fine, and obliterators could easily be explained as allies who fight for Huron in exchange for a share of the loot as that's what the chaos codex says oblits do anyway.
