Lord Kallozar Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Pretty much what as the title suggests, which warband shall i choose next? Indecision has once again got the better of me, and for my next project I would like some imput from you guys on which warband to choose. Ive narrowed it down between 2 choices: Company of Misery or Knights of Blood Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 look the same . what is suppose to be the factor your looking for ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Looks like there's more information available about the Knights of Blood. Obviously Khornate (to me, at least), so that could be a factor in your decision. If you want more leeway to write your own story go with the Company of Misery, since there is really nothing established except for the name and paint job.

Lord Kallozar Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 look the same . what is suppose to be the factor your looking for ? Yeah they are the same in colour and the colour design of both those warbands arent too disimilar. Well the Company are Undivided and the Knights are Khorne worshipping. I dont exactly have a key factor in mind apart from they both have a simple yet effective colour scheme and they are not popular warbands, so it makes them unique.

Iron Warrior w/ Servo Arm Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Challenging colour scheme. Freehand flames are fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Tezdal Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Company of Misery looks pretty neat, and having never seen them on the table(or online really) I'd say you have a unique warband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kallozar Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Cheers the quick responses guys. A bit more info for you guys to work on:- I would like to make a close combat orientated force, so the Knights of Blood are appealing. However, I really like the colour scheme of the Company of Misery and i could still have them based as a close combat force too. I would like to make the forces "fluffy" and Im not too fussed about competativeness at the moment (I know, theres hardly ANY fluff at all on these two warbands, but let me explain....) so for the Knights I would have a mix of CSM's with IoK and Zerkers. I could go full Zerker squads, yes, BUT as the Knights of Blood arent a World Eaters force and just a Chaos warband aligned to Khorne I wanna use normal CSM's too. As for the Company, I'm a little more stuck as to which theme to give them. Probably a mix of CSM's with IoCG and Possessed and Daemons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colossus Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 My vote would be for Company of Misery. That termy on Lexi is pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 well considering there is close to 0 fluff on all. each one could be made hth . Being someone who hates painting with a passion I would say less black flame legs to paint is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kallozar Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 each one could be made hth . What would you suggest to make the Company of Misery a close combat force (using no marked models apart from IoCG)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incinerator950 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'd say flip a coin. That said, there is little to no fluff at all. Have fun with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Morgrim Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Company of Misery...then you arent limited to Khorne only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 each one could be made hth . What would you suggest to make the Company of Misery a close combat force (using no marked models apart from IoCG)? you mean like gamewise ? well the codex we have right now kind of doesnt have options , so if the army was suppose to be hth it would end up identical in both cases. In general your spaming DPs[best HQ] oblits[only hvy support we have] and a mix of plasma csm [10csm . 2xplasma 1combi plasma champ with a powerweapon or naked] . zerkers are meh because of the transport nerf , pms arent realy hth units . everything else isnt good and/or isnt hth . Technicly you could buld something like this 2xDP] 2x5 terminators with combi plasma 2 champions 2x10csm with plasma in rhinos 3x2 oblits simple and probably non viable as soon as we get a new dex. If we get one of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kallozar Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Thanks for all the replies. Just out of curiosity - are the Knights of Blood a World Eaters splinter warband or are they just a normal Chaos Warband who have aligned themselves to Khorne? Or is it not known?

Azekai Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 It isn't clearly stated (as others have said there is very little information available on either of these warbands). That being said, do whatever you think would be coolest; warband composition is rarely so clear-cut. There might be World Eater veterans, or the Knights might be more recent renegades newly converted to Khorne, unaugmented but zealous. Or they could be a mix. Go crazy . . . from a fluff perspective. From a gaming perspective C:CSM is rather pants, with either 'zerkers or CSMs with a Khorne icon being subpar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aglǽca Darkwind Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Another vote for Knights of Blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Thane Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Knights of Blood. :( Marks of Khorne, DP, Khorne Lord. Support with CC Dread. Add some oblits and/or preds for firesupport. ;) If you include a Termie bodyguard for your Lord, add in a landraider. Fun and fluffy i'd say. EDIT: add in some Khornate Daemon allies... and a Defiler! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlunu Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Knights of Blood MoK on everyone, but more importantly JuggerLord w/ Bloodfeeder, hilarity ensues either way. Allied Khorne daemons as well. If you wanna run others gods's units you can have auxiliaries from anyone but Tzeneetch. Just make it clear in your fluff that that is all that they are.
