NoLats_McGee Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 As I have previously mentioned here, I am currently building a chaos army consisting of a few warbands from different traitor legions. I have also come into quite a few Pre-Heresy armour bitz from Forgeworld, for no other reason than I think they are awesome.I would love to use these bitz heavily throughout my traitor legions, just for the aforementioned awesomeness. However, my army /is/ set in 40k times and I want it to try and be somewhat fluffy.Given that many Chaos Space Marines are the same traitor legionnaires from 10,000 years ago, I was thinking that it probably isn't too rare to see pre-heresy marks of armour amongst their ranks; albeit somewhat warped and mutated. But with my Night Lords, who I want to have the traditional Night Lords view of "Ugh chaos sux lol", I was thinking of using some untainted/normal PH gear scattered throughout.Help me fluff sages!

The Nephilim Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I think it would be awesome to see some of the popular spotter/gunner obliterator teams with some volkite weaponry. That should fit well into your desire and theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Do it. No one can say you're wrong to do so. Even the special weapons can be justified. There is still the influence of the warp though so maybe the odd chaos part here an there. Or, you could put some 40k Imperial Marine parts in the mix. As if they purposely raid and plunder to replace warped equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLats_McGee Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Well, I did actually want to give my Word Bearers the Forge World Breacher siege squads. Was going to add a few chaos bitz, and replace the shields with the Chaos Warrior ones from WHFB. Don't know what I'll run them as, but it's pure rule of cool here ;D I was hoping to have a few of the traitor legions in my army, and I wouldn't make them entirely out of PH bits. Would just be a scattering, to show their age as well as corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I do remember there being rules for them for 40k but I can't remember where. Maybe chuck them an email. Sounds like a good idea though. Do a thread in the work in progress area too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 From the FW site under the Boarding Assault Upgrade Set: This upgrade set is perfect for representing several of the Boarding Assault Stratagems or a Tactical squad equipped with siege mantlets as described in Forge World’s Badab War Imperial Armour books.

Glaeken Templaris Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Nothing wrong with sticking some pre-heresy gear in the mix for a warband. fits perfectly with the cms relying on ancient or scavaged gear. my red corsairs are a hodgepodge of parts pre-heresy, post heresy and loyalist parts to tie in with them scavenging gear from the dead and the turncoat loyalists who join them.

NoLats_McGee Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Awesome feedback guys, thanks heaps. I'm hoping to start building my actual Astartes by the end of the week, just finishing off my cultists at the moment. That's one thing I love about chaos, is the freedom you have when you're modelling your army. "The warp did it" can justify almost anything ;) But in all seriousness. Nothing more badass than traitor legionnaires who have been fighting the long war for 10,000 years. The Horus Heresy is basically still happening for those guys. And given the fact that I vastly prefer 30k nowadays, not a bad thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Heresy gear is best gear. http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/1236562_10152179239348761_2047847601_n_zps275c6ba6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yes it is! :) ...though with scavengers like chaos marines, anything goes really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. But I totally agree. PH gear is Games Workshop's excuse to introduce new armour and wargear without advancing the plot, and i'm not complaining one bit! Besides, it makes more sense for Chaos Marines to have mutated PH gear than the commonly seen mutated Mk 7 armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
