Karsarn Forsworn Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hey guys so I am thinking about converting a squad of chosen with flamers and I have a idea for them. My idea is combine the raptor kit with the basic chaos marine kit. Do you guys think this will be good enough to mark them out as chosen (if it works I may do it for my sergants as well as currently my basic chaos marines are mostly loyalist marines who have had the aquilla either removed or "damaged") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdruthless Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 As long as your opponents are aware of what they are before the game, the sky is the limit on conversions. You could give them bunny ears if you wanted. Combining raptor parts and chaos marine bits should work nicely, especially if the majority of your army is still largely imperial in outline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsarn Forsworn Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Yup it is I hate the fact that the chaos marine kit looks worse than the loyalist tactical marine set haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperorOfMankind Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Just buy a bunch of DV chosen off ebay, then convert them. The models are SO much better looking than standard chaos marines. That's what I'm doing for pretty much all my marines actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsarn Forsworn Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 I do usesome bog standard chaos marines in my army for the squad which has bp bg and CCWs. I also use them for sergants as I like the thought that my sergants are more corrupted than their brethern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliGn Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I reckon it'll work, I've got some WIP chosen that only use about one CSM component per figure, it's the real beauty of CSM is that any marine figure can contribute components, so my chosen are predominantly a combination of DA veterans, Black Templars and Death Company parts with the odd chaos shoulder pad, weapon or other component thrown in. Using bits and bobs from an assortment of fantasy chaos knights, vampire counts and empire kits to add character. Of course I'm working toward word bearers, but for iron warriors you could add some bretonnian helmets and assorted industrial gubbins to achieve an appropriate effect. I'd think that the designs on the raptor kit would work for Night Lords nicely but not exclusively. Go wild, the sky is the limit on this kind of project.

Karsarn Forsworn Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Oh I agree indeed plus my home brew traitor chapter is kind of iron warriors crossed with word bearers and red corsairs. I wish chosen could take jump packs :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdruthless Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Don't discount the fantasy chaos range either. There is some good stuff in there that can add a lot of character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsarn Forsworn Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 I must admit I am looking at the chaos knight shields (have some spare lol) and im wondering about maybe putting them on their arms like siege style shields or maybe trying to get hold of some tower style shields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdruthless Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I don't have my codex, but from recollection there is an upgrade that you can give characters to give them a 5++ save. Why not use the chaos shields as sort of corrupted storm shields to represent this? Just a random thought The thing to remember above all else with Chaos is that literally anything goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsarn Forsworn Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 That is true and unfourtunately chosen cant take the aura of dark glory :/ if they could id take them over terminators any daylol.

Excessus Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 That is true and unfourtunately chosen cant take the aura of dark glory :/ if they could id take them over terminators any daylol. The only reason i run my termicide squad is I already have them Use cover and get the same effect against shooting attacks. Your shields could be used to represent MoN on them though...

Karsarn Forsworn Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hmmm I suppose one unit which have a mark isnt so bad lol plua the thought of them shrugging a bolter round off because of a shield just makes me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdruthless Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 If you don't like marks think of it as buying upgrades for your stat line :) and represent that upgrade with the shields. All okay, all legal, everyone is happy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
