woop Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 ok so first things first : I've been lurking here for quite some time now looking at all the sweet armies here. But now for the issue at hand: I've been playing around with the idea of a chaos army with a lot of bikes for about a year now and I just couldn't come up with a cool name and colorscheme for them. So any suggestion are welcome even the truly insane and retarded (Pink pony riders of the fluffy pink doom or simply the PPROTFP) So please help a fresh traitor out will ya? thanks already!

the jeske Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 dont use the chaos codex . use the sm dex ,even the highlly underpowered DA codex is going to be better for a bike army , because chaos bikes suck hard.

Corpse. Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 You can try daemonbomb with greater daemon, nurgle icon bikes, some lesser daemons for numbers and initial damage potential (not having to rely on rhinos) and using a cheap predator or two to block fire until you get to turbo boost first turn (in case you dont go first). Having a large squad of regular marines for dawn of war survivability+Icon for daemons.. As for the name.. I guess, what is their paint scheme? That may help.

chillin Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I've been playing around with the idea of a chaos army with a lot of bikes Don't use the chaos dex to make a bike army. Use the s/m dex WS's army (can't remember the guy's name right now. Khan ??) You can still use chaos models or a mix of chaos & s/m models for a renegade look. I know you say you don't care how the perform, but getting stomped every game with no chance of winning ever will get old really fast. Also people will get tired of playing you if you're not at least competitive.

Uprising Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well you haven`t given us much to work with, so here some questions? * What codx are you using? You can still use c:sm or csm codex, with renegade * What type of renegade are they? Were they tun recently or thousand of yrs ago * Where did they come from? Why they turn? (Maybe a White Scar traitors) * Do you like any god over the other or do you prefer undivided? * Is there any color you like the most? Is there any color you hate the most? * Beside liking bikes, do your renegade like anything else?

Rahveel Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 you know, Im not always one to agree with The Jeske, but he is compleatly right (and this is coming from a staunch chaos player, who loves his bikes. CSM bikers are awfull compared to those of other races (they once had the advantage of getting an extra attack in CC for their spikes and blades, but somehow dont get this anymore, and never had their points ajusted to compensate) they can make an OK fast fire fire support unit, but only non-competitivly. I would strongly reccomend going with C:SM rules, and taking Khan as an HQ. just use the chaos models you love! for a name... how about the 'Abyss Knights'?

Well I they will either we Slaanehsi or undevided but if I go with Slaanesh I feel like I'm stuck with the pink. And they are a bunch of whitescar traitors for about 700 years or so . And next to bikes they like getting up and personal with there enemys so maybe some raptors or a lot of CC geared CSM. And for my fav colour... I think its green but I dont think that competes well with the Slaaneshi theme.

Draeden Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 And for my fav colour... I think its green but I dont think that competes well with the Slaaneshi theme. Neon Green... Slaanesh isn't about pink (well not just pink), it's about loud, bright statements, Neon Green and other really really bright greens can fit in nicely with Slaanesh... That gives me an idea... Thanks Woop...

Corpse. Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Proposed slaaneshi theme considering your requests.

Lord Kallozar Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Good choice making your biker renagades worship Slaanesh as I feel it could fit in nicely with the whole studded leather feel :) Anyway as for names, how about these: - Riders of Darkness - Riders of the Warp - Shadow Riders And as for colour schemes why not use a vibrant lime green with one or two bits of armour painted glow in the dark green? glowing Slaaneshi marines at night has always seemed cool to me :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169707-new-renegade-in-need-of-help/#findComment-2004168 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also make them slaanesh like and still have everthin u what.

woop Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 About the colors....I think I might just go with the pink.... Because if I go for Slaanesh a bit I might as well just go for the 100%.. And thanks for the names guys , Keep em comming!

Corpse. Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 700 years without supplies from the imperium, sounds alpha legion to me. Since the color scheme is set to pink, I'll suggest a few. Shadow Sharks --Sharks have to eat and fight eachother in the mothers womb to survive till birth, and most are scarred (of even biting their own tails at times+sibling rivalry). They are solitary predators and some even hunt in packs (refer to hammerheads as the most popular). Smaller ones are fast and agile, darting out of nowhere in a blue mucky abyss into the prey using their momentum to get their teeth shredding instead of raw muscle power. Larger sharks rely on power and tactics to surround and attack from unexpected angles. Sharks have been known to catch birds in mid flight - all species of shark known to do so. Sharks are everywhere in the sea, even at the extreme depths, being blind and hunting with their instincts on top of their unique energy detection and vibration sensory organs. (They literally sense your biological energy from half a mile away, plus smelling blood from over twenty miles away). They are perfect predators of their class. Some known in hostory to ram small boats to sink their prey into the waters. They even preserve their food if they know it will be there later. Plus their black eyes and toughest skin in the world (toughest scars too) known to dull a perfectly fine titanium blade in one skinning of a great white. Being a shadow shark means you hunt at night, where the prey's eyes decieve them. Silent and relentless, loners in the dark. A random name I had sitting around with a explination. Should I put another or will this do? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/169707-new-renegade-in-need-of-help/#findComment-2004708 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corpse. Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Well yeah 10k years without supplies from the imperium, from what I gather their annual resupply is a 50 year period (or less), anything beyond 300 would be stretching things thin. Thus, alpha legion stealing/conning supplies style. Sharks, forgot to mention their hunting pattern that they like to spread out, then all hone in on their target. Their packs dont operate closely (they detect eachother through smell) they spread out to a large area and then pinpoint food and they all just hurry to a meal. Take water style literally.
