astindextor Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi all. I've been trying to figure out a colour scheme for my unalaigned Chaos Marines for a while now. I think I like this scheme enough to stick with it. I haven't come up with a name for my Legion yet, so they're nicknamed the Halloweeners for now... http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm98/astindextor/Halloweeners.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm98/astindextor/Halloweeners2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could remotely sculpt, I would go with it and sculpt little jack-o-lanterns for them... >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uprising Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I not going to lie but that is the funniest and greatest, holiday themed amy i have ever seen. If you don`t mind using non GW models for your army, i think you should use Reaper Pumpkin Golem for a DP.

chillin Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 should name them samhain (the old celtic name for the holiday that became holloween), or something with samhain in the name. Corpse is right, kinda looks simular to the pyre. The "pyre of samhain" maybe. Ironicly part of the samhain ceremony was to light giant fires on hill tops. Could make them a splinter group of the pyre or an elite group of the pyre, or have no conection at all if you don't want...just brain storming.

Kabbala Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I think they look incredible! And I think the pumpkin golem would make an awesome DP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooshSahaal Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 i like the idea of Samhain. maybe make that the name of their homeworld, where there's a bit of a witchy cult thing going on? yes i know there's witchy cult things going on all over the shop in the 41st mil but i'm talking about how the thousand sons based their legion heraldry off of the egyptiany lads that lived on prospero. ancient cultures that sorta picked up off terra back in the day when the cool thing to do was to, migrate from terra round the galaxy and only recently they've been found, practising old "witchcraft" and seeing these warriors clad in armour like that scared the bejeezus out of them and now they worship them as gods. wow that went on longer than expected. take it or leave it xD -Doosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Sounds like one of the eldar craftworlds doens't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillin Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Sounds like one of the eldar craftworlds doens't it? There is a craftworld that sounds like that (don't know if it's spelled same or not). Samhain, is however, the old Celtic ceramony, they thought the vail between this world and the next was thinnest on that night, and ghosts and spirits could & did come through. You wore scarry masks and costumes so if an evil spirit saw you, he would think you were another evil spirit and leave you alone. The whole thing wouyld tie into the whole warp/daemon thing really well I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astindextor Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hey guys, thanks for the ideas. I found another, even more in depth treatment of the Pyre, and I think I will combine them with Samhain stuff, and make them a branch from the Pyre... I do like me some flamers...

Heru Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 There is also a powerful demon called Samhain in the Supernatural mythos based on the original Celtic ceremony. http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=Samhain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davethebear Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 lol you should give them pumpkin bombs like what the green goblin has. That'd look real halloweeny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillin Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'm gettin' kinda jealous of these Holloweeners and pyre guys, the fluff and modeling possiblities are wide open. They can make their own fluff, and B&C being such a far reaching medium, it just might stick. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsnopi Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hi all. I've been trying to figure out a color scheme for my unaligned Chaos Marines for a while now. I think I like this scheme enough to stick with it. I haven't come up with a name for my Legion yet, so they're nicknamed the Halloweeners for now... I like this enough to actually register and say I like it. Would you mind if I used it as well? I will give you credit. I love Halloween. Feel free to PM me and discuss it.
