Zeller Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Afternoon, I bought a few used chaos tanks a few weeks ago and they arrived today. Now, the chaos tank kits are simply loyalist kits with chaos bits to customize them. This includes Imperial icons such as the skull and crossbones on the predator destructor's autocannon sight and ammunition. I'm tempted to sand these off and replace them with something suitably chaosy. I am also considering defiling them as I would assume chaos marines would have done. What is the appropriate approach from a fluff perspective. Last one. Chaos tanks come with trophy racks as we all know. However, I cut the top spikes off and glue them onto the hull at various angles because I feel it makes the tanks more chaosy and fulfills the description of chaos tanks being hardly recognisable to their loyalist counterparts. Does anyone else do this? This might be a cross between Chaos Ascendant and PCA Questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I left the skull and cross bones on my Dakka Pred. If it had wings I'd worry but it's a flippin' skull and cross bones; that's pretty generic in my book. I never use the trophy racks right off the sprue and yes I cut the spikes off and sparingly mount them on the tank. I have been trying to not go over the top with my new Chaos army like I did with my first Chaos army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperialis_Dominatus Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I can see Chaos Space Marines either filing off or defiling Imperial iconography. Over ten thousand years of war and Warp effects, they might be barely recognizable even if they left them on. You could glue them on upside down maybe. Or put gouges in an 'x' form over them.

Peakey Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I bought a chaos vindicator the other day and to my horror,found a huge IMPERIAL eagle on the left side armour plating. After a while of filing and sanding,replaced it with the elongated chaos star :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 on one of my land raiders i cut up the imperial eagle a little and the painted a red crass through it to make it look like they have had some majo graffiti fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
