chaplainmikey Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hi all! Well i'm starting a Choas army and i've been searching for a scheme i like the look of and think would be both fun to paint and look good across my whole army. Now i've been drawn to the Hakanor's reavers scheme in the chaos codex,mainly because it appeals to me visualy and it seems an interesting and fun scheme to paint. Now i was wondering if anyone here could direct me in the way of any fluff,background or anything related to the chapter. So anyone have any info to share? Cheers.

Brother Nihm Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hakanor's Reavers are a group of Chaos Space Marines under the leadership of Hakanor, a Daemon Prince formerly known as the Chapter Master Prometian. The armour of these warriors burns with a magical heat, causing it to constantly crack and reform like lava.Sources * Codex: Chaos Space Marines (4th Edition) p.20 Muskie's guide to painting Hakanor's Reavers: link The rest is up to you to create.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 That is a really cool painting tutorial. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150871-any-info-regarding-hakanors-reavers/#findComment-1755004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hmm so thats all there is. Oh well,guess it leaves me more open to create my own backsory for some squads of the chapter. Thanks for the link Nihm! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150871-any-info-regarding-hakanors-reavers/#findComment-1756738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Some more information can be inferred i believe: Other than the obvious of them being lead by a daemon prince, they probably are undivided and are a renegade chapter not a succesor of a traitor legion (since the DP was originally a chapter master.) It is safe to assume that they are Undivided and not a specific cult. If they would have cult units is a different matter all together.

Vodunius Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 It is safe to assume that they are Undivided and not a specific cult. I lean that way as well (or possibly a minor chaos god rather being genuinly undivided) at least fluffwise, I do like the idea of them having the Mark of Tzeentch ruleswise however, since they clearly have serious mojo holding them together. I've never cared much for Daemon Princes (not sure why) but Hakanor just BEGS to be fielded using a LotR Balrog, possibly modified to be wielding twin scythes ala the Reavers emblem.

I would second that as far as how awesome it could be if painted well. I say go for it.

That is an awesome idea,one that i'll be definitley trying. I'll be using my reavers as undivided,or though the Tzeentch does sound justified. Thanks for the ideas! :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150871-any-info-regarding-hakanors-reavers/#findComment-1761130 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lean that way as well (or possibly a minor chaos god rather being genuinly undivided) at least fluffwise, I like the idea of them being for a lesser chaos god (I don't know why). Maybe a fire daemon or volcano god of some far flung planet. Give them lotsa' meltas and flamers. Converted oblits to look like fire/lava elementals Or maybe even play around with salamanders (s/m's) rules (TL'ed meltas & flamers).

Drudge Dreadnought Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 If you are going to make a lava melta/flamer themed army might as well do it in such a way that you can use it with chaos OR loyalist rules depending on your mood.

chaplainmikey Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think i will make most of them usable with loyalist rules,maybe having a spare marine to replace the choas icons and such. Definitley going to be giving most of these flamer/melta weapons. Again,thanks for the ideas.
