reckoning Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I recently got the crazy idea to convert a chaos lord for fun. I loathe the traitor legions from a fluff standpoint, but enjoy the potential for modeling/painting they provide. I have no plans as of yet to collect anymore than this one miniature so it will primarily be a display piece. However, I have been thinking about various projects involving kill team sized 'mini' armies for forces I wouldnt normally collect. The point of all this rambling is that I want this Chaos Lord to look cool while being effective in a friendly match should the need/itch arise. Few Details: - I dont own the latest Chaos dex and wont unless I collect a few Chaos kill teams to game with. Therefore, I have no idea what they can take nor what the ideal choices are. - A sword must be one of the weapons. Period. - I would prefer an additional bladed weapon (if this is even possible), but it is not a must. I could model a Banner I suppose (if these have any real benefit). - I would like to know the requisites, if there are any, for the weapons as far as what they 'look' like. This last parameter is for the sake of wysiwyg. Thank you for any help you can provide and please excuse my ignorance.

Zombie P Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The chaos lord (and any character with access to the armory) can swap both the bolt pistol and the CCW for other CCW's. I say any other character becasue HQ's are not allowed Kill Teams, at least GW official ones. Plus I think there is something about 3 wound models, cant remember. Therefore, I would recommend an axe and a sword. This way he will be effective against both 2+ saves and 3+ saves. Plus they could be either the Axe of Blind Fury or the Murder Sword. He will probably need to be either an aspiring champion or a chosen champion to use him legaly in a kill team, but even so this should work, and he will look awesome!

reckoning Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Ah! Good catch. If should be painfully obvious that I dont game much (read at all). Maybe Ill model him as both a champion and lord so I can use him in friendly games or if opponents dont want to play against a lord. Thats a long way off though. What should the rest of his wargear be? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273504-chaos-lord-weaponry/#findComment-3339603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGuard Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'd recommend getting the Codex or borrowing off a friend, then you may have some idea on what gameplay repercussions your choices will result in. But, as you've made clear, this is a modelling project of yours, and has nothing to with the tactics and how the model performs on table. So go with what's cool. Also, as that is the case, I'm bumping this thread to where it belongs, PCA, not Tactica Astartes (which is for tactical discussions).

Emperor's Fury Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 As a chaos player myself I have a Chaos termie lord. I have him decked out with a combi-plasma or combi-melta and a two handed power axe. You could very easily model your lord with Grey Knight arms with two-handed weapon and a wrist mounted combi-weapon.
