Dragonkin Arenis Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hey all! This is my first WIP thread, so take it easy. I've been collecting 40K for 2 years now, with a small contingent of IG (soon to be recoloured to something more fitting), a WIP Mercenary force based on Eldar, a handfull of Tau and working on a full Chapter of Sons of the Dragon (with a pair of successor chapters in the back of my mind). Recently, I decided to begin a little bit of work on one of the SotD successors: the Dragons of Death. Now, the DoD are a chapter from the Cursed 21st Founding, the entire chapter (minus a single Battle Company) turned to Chaos at the Chapter Master's consent, and they decided to destroy the planet they were guarding and flee to the Eye of Terror. Now, here's the thing: Should I model them like proper Chaos Marines, or play them as a regular Chapter of Marines, with suitable Chaos names? Chaos version colour scheme: "Loyalist" version colour scheme: (The blacked out eagle on the chest means there's nothing there) I'm really unsire on how to do this, so C+C required... by the way, to see some of the history, see my signature and click on the link Thanks Arenis (EDIT) Fixed Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164243-dragons-of-death-wip-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuNCHBiZZLe Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I would build the whole army and just switch back and forth from SM to CSM I did this for my GD army.

Alkana Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Model-wise, you could use loyalist and chaos marines together. Just make sure you remove chaos marks and/or aquilas. Rules-wise, feel free to switch between C:SM and C:CSM. Don't forget to let your opponent know which codex you're using. Cool fluff by the way. Is Siphodias an allusion to Star Wars episode II?

Rules-wise, feel free to switch between C:SM and C:CSM. Don't forget to let your opponent know which codex you're using. Hehe, nice idea, sounds really good, I may use it... I'll invest in a Loyalist and a Chaos Combat swuad, remove icons, and make a tactical squad :devil: Cool fluff by the way. Is Siphodias an allusion to Star Wars episode II? Dunno, just liked the sound of the name... Couldn't think of a decent name, then thought of Star Wars (well, who wouldn't?) and remembered Count Dooko's name before he turned to the Dark Side - Siphodias... Cool, huh? :P Thanks for your input Arenis Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164243-dragons-of-death-wip-thread/#findComment-1932621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherDamascus Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 nice scheme! for my lads, i made the standard marines as neutral as possible and just bought the additional chaos only / loyalist only bits and pieces then you can change between the two :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164243-dragons-of-death-wip-thread/#findComment-1932711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Iencub Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The schemes both look alot like The Purge (Renegades worshiping Nurgle) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164243-dragons-of-death-wip-thread/#findComment-1935344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 The schemes both look alot like The Purge (Renegades worshiping Nurgle) link? by the way, peeps, just bought a SM Combat Squad and a CSM Combat Squad, they're almost completely assembled, just shoulder pads, a Flamer and maybe a Multi-Melta to add-on ... (still unsure on the topic... Might still go with a Heavy Bolter...) On a side-note,I also bought a CSM Terminator Lord, assembled to look like my Dragon Warlord Z'Kai of the 1st (Terminator) Raiding Company, lookin good :P I'll upload some pictures into my album soon enough, and up here too, so you can see them assembled :D Arenis Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164243-dragons-of-death-wip-thread/#findComment-1935549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Can't find the Link that I had earlier, but generally, The Purge are a small chapter that went about killing entire planets, and generally just bringing death to the world. They wanted to exterminate all life in Nurgle's name, seeing it as the ultimate tribute to the Chaos God. Personally, I would use Chaos Space Marine boxed sets, codexes, everything. Their sets are much more unique. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164243-dragons-of-death-wip-thread/#findComment-1935558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Personally, I would use Chaos Space Marine boxed sets, codexes, everything. Their sets are much more unique. Bit boring on their own, methinks... :( Had a look through my bits box and found me a Lascannon, a Plasma Cannon and a Heavy Bolter (with their backpacks), all Loyalist... What should I use...? :P Arenis Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164243-dragons-of-death-wip-thread/#findComment-1936761 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonkin Arenis Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 shameless threadromancy here... :sweat: Sorry for the lack of pictures, brothers (and possibly sisters, for those who are interested), as my camera has, yet again, failed to bring me the goods, I need a new one... Still, I have my 1st tactical squad 80% complete, just my sergeant and a bolter-marine to go... 2nd tactical squad 10% complete, Melta-Gun armed marine is complete... (I, wrongly, decided to do a Melta-Gun Marine instead of a Bolter-Marine for the first squad... silly me :lol: ) My Sternguard squad is in need of a Multi-Melta, half-way through painting, too... -_- And Dragon Warlod Z'Kai is complete, just needs a paint-job, now... (I may be giving him a daemonic servant, like Huron has, I just need to decide what kind of familiar/daemon to give him... :unsure: ) Okay, guys, (hopefully) updates soon, as soon as I've done this bloody VCR to DVD thing on my computer for my parents... The sound's not in sync :pinch: I have better things to do, really... :confused: Arenis Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164243-dragons-of-death-wip-thread/#findComment-1972661 Share on other sites More sharing options...
