Kingin Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hey all don't know which god to choose! I'm a bit stuck with Tzeentch or Slannesh. Don't want to try Nurgle again, and feel like everyone plays Khorne, and want to try something fun. I also was thinking of just going undivided. Don't know what to do! Go Black Legion and take them all or what. Don't want to play Black Legion cause feels like everyone plays them like Ultramarine's. Please help!

chillin Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I play BL but with no marks and very often with no cult troops just undivided (IoCG). I like the concept fluffwize and it's something different to do. If you do want to go with one of the gods, I think Tz is by far the most interesting, also challenging to play.

Rain Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 As chillin said Tzeentch is the most challenging to play, but almost too much so, I really find it hard to see how you could consistently win with a Tzeentch only list. Slaanesh on the other hand seems is more powerful although I agree that Tzeentch is rare and a cool concept. Personally I play undivided and find it quite characterful and effective as 15 points for a space marine with LD 9/10 and 2 attacks base is very economical and beats most elites in CC, plus I like the idea of jaded traitors who serve no-one but themselves.

Kabbala Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 You could always stick with the undivided and go with a Word Bearers or Night Lords theme. I do get a little tired of seeing all the Black Legions running around the place.

Fausto2071 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 slaanesh is pretty cool, but the undivideds really take the cake like the night lords, wordbearers, and iron warriors~lots of cool options Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/168123-which-god-to-choose/#findComment-1982806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchagen Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 If you can't decide purely on the background or rules, let the models decide for you. Decide what looks best and then build from there. If you like both tzeentch and slaanesh equally, do a mixed force and develop the army from an aesthetical point.

Kingin Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 I like having lots of the Marines, so I think I'm sticking Undivided. Making my own Legion up named: Undying Legion (was Legion of Monsters) Colors: Red and Blue the fluff: This Legion was almost destroyed during one of the Great Crusades, but had there last stand. This Legion used dirty tactics and fear to make the Loyalists fearful. But during the last stand on the planet the Loyalists looked defeated, then something that the Legion of Monsters will never forget. The Legion of the Damned appeared, and helped the Loyalist beat back the Legion, unit only a handful of Chaos Space Marines was left. The Tide was turned, and two brothers left fighting, each having a cause, for love, for power and the Will to destory the Emperor for what he did to their home planet. With One of the Brothers killed, the other who became a Daemon Prince, Cursed his Legion and swore that he and his Brothers who died for and against the Emperor, that they will not rest unit revenge is carried out, on the Emperor and the Legion of the Damned. So from that point on the Legion of Monsters, became the Undying Legion, for they shall not rest until they kill and revenge all that wronged them, and vengeance will be theres! How do you like it?

Kingin Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 You know I just might go with Tzeentch, makes it sound like it somewhat and can go with story line too.

the jeske Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 How do you like it? strange fusion of alfa legion and night lords fluff. boring to be honest. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/168123-which-god-to-choose/#findComment-1982991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpse. Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 A line of tzeentch (Slow and purposeful AP3 bolters with Doombolt and 4+ inv saves) units followed by lower AP gun move and shoot sonic guns (noise marines sonic blasters) where AP value isnt so valuable as a followup line. Makes for a good move and shoot force. On foot or in rhinos. Its a nice force that combines themes. Could justify it as Tzeentch looking to the future, Slaanesh looking at the "now". But if your mind is made up, remember you can run with other things along side thousand sons. Sorcerer Trainees (regular marines with icon of tzeentch, of any field: chosen, havoc, terminator etc) and possessed (lord of change, yeah, mutate!) and obliterators. Dont just bash with one thing, unless you really have a plan.

Fausto2071 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Undying Legion (was Legion of Monsters)Colors: Red and Blue How do you like it? I don't know about this... legion of monsters? this will sound mean, but I mean it to be constructive: it sounds like something a 3rd grader would make (yes I'm aware that's not the current name). for your fluff: when exactly did they even turn traitor? and the Great Crusades were from the late 30th to the early 31st millenium so your guys would end up being a founding legion, and the Legion of the Damned BECAME the legion of the damned in the year M41 from the Fire Hawks. and what did you mean by "with love"? it sounds like Alpha legion/Night Lords/Final Fantasy games. and red and blue? I think that may be tough to pull off for a CSM army but it deff. can be done, make sure the colours are dark, also there are some grammatical errors (we all make them), but those are marginal~keep at it though, with lots of cleaning I think you can pull it off man, good luck! :D also make a CSM scheme and show us!

Corpse. Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Maybe this scheme, broken up to show detail a dark (midnight blue) with blood red would be alright. Not too hard to paint. Three colors, the details being a brown. Since a brown always goes well with a dark blue and any red.
