Aeternas, awesome company name and motto. :tu: There seems to be a problem with your pictures, however, I can't see them....

Ah, Lord Augustus. Think you may be confused - I have yet to take a motto. Are you referencing Marshal?

Pictures, I'll try and sort them out in my own thread now, maybe put them in a gallery.

 

@Marshal, Abbadon Black --> Kantor Blue --> Drakenhoff Nightshade for my blue, with Balthasar Gold --> Brass Scorpion for trim. But that's just using GW paints, and I know not everyone is particularly fond of them.

Augustus it is. I'll drop the honourific.

 

Has anyone tried using the wings from the Vampire Counts bat swarms yet? I know the grave guard kits are a common comversion as, quite frankly, it seems most people dislike our current upgrade pack (how, with those wings, are you meant to be stealthy? They add another 1/4 of a marine on top :/ ).

Also, would the Von Carstein shield pack work? Was thinking of going down a kinda martial road with one of my claws, so probably swords and shields. They looked like they'd fit quite nicely.

^ Vampire Counts bits are hella popular, primarily both the Grave Guard and Black Knight helms have tons of good batwings.

 

To be fair, the 90's batwing helms were never supposed to be stealthy they were supposed to be 90's Games Workshop chaos marines :D

Indeed, all the vampire counts bits tie in rather well.

One thing I noticed...was browsing the range and came across the blood knights... o_0

 

Gw can, as I discovered, also charge you your unborn child's soul for some minis.

 

The price...and having seen FW kits still think this...is just ridiculous

 

As to the helms, with wings that size you"d think they would count as jump packs ;)

True I still remeber six years when I was a wee lad of 10 years of age and then I came across the night lords upgrade pack and then thinking "wow cool, batman in space!" I saw the night lords hero saw the hero part and immediately thought "oh these are the good chaos space marines, they must be like batman". Boy was I wrong.

 

I'm going to try out the paint schemes on some mk 6 space marines I have converted.

 

So my horus heresy books came in. I was looking at the allies matrix and found that we don't have many friends among the legions :). And to my pleasant surprise we are good friends with the sons of horus, salamanders, and death guard. Sons of horus make sense I guess since we have similar philosophies in war. Salamanders were the nice guys they got along with everyone. The middle one surprised me. I never knew we liked the death guard. Anyone care to explain potentially why we like the death guard? All I know is that it will be a pleasant surprise for the night lords to see what the death guard become at terra. I'm surprised that we aren't friends with the emperors children because our primarchs were pals. Though I could see why emperor children don't like us.

Yeah, I actually bought them back when they were metal. Fun stuff, lemme tell you.

From what I gather, no one REALLY liked us, and to the most part, being the badasses we were, we really didn't care :D

Curze, Horus, and Mortarion all seemed to be quite friendly, and I suppose part was from Mort's hatred of those with power who abused it, which tied in quite nicely with Night Haunters teachings. And Horus? Well, he was just the cool one ;)

 

And come on, our Primarch IS Batman. To qoute that which is funny and true (1d4chan)

 

'Best of all, his ranged weapon proves definitely that Konrad Curze is Batman. He literally uses Batarangs during the shooting phase. His ranged attack is called a "Widowmaker Volley", which is essentially 3 bolt pistol profile shots with a special rule that makes 6s to wound ignore both armor AND invulnerable saves. You can't save against the God-Damned Bat Man. The best part is the actual description of the weapons in the Horus Heresy rulebook: "The Widowmakers. Based on the (shuriken throwing stars) MICRO-SERRATED THROWING BLADES utilized for signature-kills by the (League of Shadows) CERTAIN NOSTRAMAN ASSASSIN-CULTS, Curze favored the use of these vicious, yet highly precise weapons over more conventional firearms in battle, using them for (non-lethal takedowns) TO DISABLE AND MAIM AS HE WILLED.'

Lol Kol I know how much you cringe at the batman.

 

@Aeternes I can see the similarities. The only difference is that kurze would happily flay you alive if you were committing a crime, even if you were a child. Unless theirs something I didn't hear or read about the batman. You have no idea how far writers will go to make comic book heroes "gritty". Also kurze went insane and was known to eat random chapter serfs in his final days.

 

I can see why sons of horus and night lords could get along both have planets were gang culture is prominent. The only difference is that nostramo went messed up after kirze left unlike chthonia.

Hail brother Cultruns!

 

Looking forward to seeing your work, backgrounds are always good, but I'm sure we can help you with what you need :)

 

@Marshal, well, everyone has to have their indulgences, and for Curze it was just skinning and mutilations. Maybe Batman is just a younger brother ;)

 

Do we know what happened to cthonia after the whole Heresy thing? I'm guessing it was destroyed along with the other traiter homes (except for Alpha Legion's, it could be any world...) Or did they move it into the warp somehow

Augustus it is. I'll drop the honourific.

Yeah man the Von Carstein pack is awesome. I am still amazed not more here use it. And though the NL upgrade pack's wings are ridiculously huge on helmets, they can still be cut off and, combined with a large skulls, be used to make NL symbols for tanks and whatnot.

I plan on doing a kinda templar squad at some point...though can't think of any way a black templar squad would turn to chaos. lets blame it on the warp :biggrin.:

was thinking those shields could go lovely with bloodletter swords (power swords) and cloaks. they'll also be able to rip and tear through power armoured squads quite easily :laugh.:

Only three pages left, and this post is the 8th of this threat. So 3x25+17=92 posts...

 

EDIT:

 

Also, Flint, may I suggest we reboot the thread with a new one called +++ The Murderer's Call II +++ and which begins with a copy of this thread's first post, with a linky added to this thread?

Good idea for that. So I'm looking at my stocks for ETL. I was thinking to add some regular terminators. The idea is to use regular space marine terminators for the bodies then use chaos weaponry. I was also thinking to add some bat ears from the grave guard kit. For shoulder pads one lion shoulder pad and one bat one. Anything else I should add? A Shame that thread is getting locked I just got here LoL!

You planning on crafting some Atramentar brother? ;)

 

For the lion pad, I must confess I can't see myself doing five of the things in gs, what where you planning on using? Found some scibor ones but they aren't too...chaotic.

 

Looking forward to seeing them :) now I just need to go figure out what to do for this ETL thing. And work out what it actually is, lol

Ooh, you found those bat pads. They are a lovely looking set, but I'm not so sure about the lions. look kinda egyptian, more sphinx like imho. 

My current choice for atramentar:

Or, if you're lucky you could try and get lots of the sevatar pads :laugh.: or the pads from FW Lugft Huron -->
