Hilhog0 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hello guys, this is my first topic and post and my first Chaos Marine Army. Please don't rip me to shreds, I'm new here! :D Anyway, here are the questions I would like you guys to help me answer: 1. Which god should I choose for my fledgling army? 2. Which guy from this squad should be the aspiring champion? There are going to be six guys but only four at the moment have been made. Ok, this is my fault, I'm new to this and I couldn't get the pictures on but I think I have this now: Marine 1 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22895 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22897 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22898 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22899 Marine 2 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22896 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22900 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22901 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22902 Marine 3 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22904 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22914 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22915 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22916 Marine 4 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22917 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22918 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22919 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=22920 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151065-which-god-for-my-new-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hmm firstly the images seem to be missing so I cnnot answer question 2. However as to question 1, we need to know a little more about your style of play as each of the gods plays differently.

Morte Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I vote Tzeentch, because your models clearly have the invisibility mutation down pat. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151065-which-god-for-my-new-army/#findComment-1756895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellios Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hello guys, this is my first topic and post and my first Chaos Marine Army. Please don't rip me to shreds, I'm new here! :) Anyway, here are the questions I would like you guys to help me answer: 1. Which god should I choose for my fledgling army? 2. Which guy from this squad should be the aspiring champion? There are going to be six guys but only four at the moment have been made. Ok here is my short break down of chaos space marines. The nine Legions Chaos warband (break-off from the nine legions) Renegade chapter/warband (People who turned to chaos after the heresy) Then you have chaos alignment Not into Chaos - So a force that dosen't worship the chaos gods but fights against the imperium and may or may not be against the use of foul magiks and daemonic entities. Chaos Undivided (Also known as Undecided ;)) - These guys worship different gods at different times or equal devotion to all of the major powers. Could also be used to represent a force that worships a lesser chaos god. Cult army - An army dedicated to one of the specific chaos gods. Now I would pick my army based on three things. 1) Colour scheme, do I think it looks cool. 2) Cool Unit, for an example if you again loved Khorne Berzerkers then a World Eater army or if you didn't like the colour scheme causing a conflict with number one make up your own war band colours. 3) Background, What force do you think has a cool background. Personally I like the 9 legions (More background)over the other little forces so thats what I would do. The 9 legions are as follows -Undivided or Not into Chaos- Word Bearers Black Legion (Previously Sons of Horus and Luna Wolves.) Night Lords Iron Warriors Alpha Legion -Khorne- World Eaters -Tzeentch- Thousand Sons -Nurgle- Death Guard -Slaanesh- Emperors Children If you look around here + codex and the web you can probably find more info, I think their is something called the chaos lords hand book stuck at the top of this forum that may have useful stuff in it. As to your other question as to who should be your champion 0_o the hardest looking one XD This topic is rather wide and its a choice you have to make, people can give advice but it would be better if you could narrow things down.

apaosha Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Q1: Broadly speaking, Khorne is all about charging at the enemy in order to overwhelm them in close combat, while Nurgle is about physical resilience to attacks made by the enemy. Slaanesh and Tzeentch are more complex. Slaanesh icons give your squads +1Ini, meaning that they'll generally be hitting the enemy 1st in an assault. Noise Marines, however, have some great anti-light infantry guns, sonic blasters, which means they're quite flexible. In fact, since noise marines have 2 attacks each thanks to their pistol + CCW combo, this probably makes them the most useful and versatile unit in a chaos army .... But then, I'm biased. Tzeentch icons have Inv saves and the thousand sons have AP3 bolters, making them useful against marines ... Tzeentch is also supposed to be the best at sorcery and psychic powers, but 4.0 doesn't cater to that very much .... Also, to display images, get a link to them and put the link between the following: [ img ] [ /img ] ... take out the spaces .....

Brother Nihm Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hey, A good place to start is the stickied topic: The Aspiring Champion's Handbook (link) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151065-which-god-for-my-new-army/#findComment-1756985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 You're real proud of that thing, aren't you Brother Nihm? OT, what appeals to you the most? Assault (khorne), resilience (nurgle), relentless advance (tzeentch, specifically rubrics), or balance (slaanesh)? 'Cos that will really determine which god you go for.

Brother Nihm Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 You're real proud of that thing, aren't you Brother Nihm?No, I am trying to help.It is my experience that many new visitors do not check the stickies - despite the guides and FAQs contained therein.

Zealot Of Chaos Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Tzeentch is also supposed to be the best at sorcery and psychic powers, but 4.0 doesn't cater to that very much .... They try to compensate by allowing tzeentchians to take 2 psychic powers for sorc and DP (although sorc for tzeentch can get 3 with familiar) and I'm probably mistaken but I think Tzeentch followers can use 2 psychic abilities a turn as long as only 1 is shooting so a sorc could warptime and force weapon, or doombolt and gift of chaos etc etc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151065-which-god-for-my-new-army/#findComment-1759774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
