Captain Tezdal Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 How come noone has mentionrd this fellow yet? http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99060102066_WarsmithNEW_01.jpg This. The first chaos model I ever bought, and what dragged me kicking and screaming out of WHFB into 40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Chaos has always been more about the visuals than anything else, and they have quite a lot of awesome models...though for a favorite I have to say the old metal(finecast) Daemon Prince. Awesome detailing, awesome pose! I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Why has no one mentioned little Kranon yet- http://images.wikia.com/warhammer40k/images/4/4a/Kranon_the_Relentless1.jpg I just love this model, and I don't know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 ^ I think the best thing about Krannon (besides the model's general awesomeness) is how flexible it is. There are dozens of super cool conversions of him, everything from sorcerers to mutated spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Barbarus Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 For me it's Typhus. An awesome pose that just oozes menace. He is the reason I got into the Death Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Marshal Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The Cities of Death Possessed of course! http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eQBhoKys-7s/T6GNjH1aIlI/AAAAAAAAHyc/dQdFIjh97Mc/s400/Possessed_Chaos_Space_Marines.gif No but seriously I have to go with the Nurgle Daemon Prince. http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99810102004_NurgleDaemonPrinceNEW_01.jpg Either my eyes are failing me or has barely anybody mentioned this glorious monstrosity yet? I don't even collect Death Guard/Nurgle and I just love the thing to bits. The details, the pose, how horrible (in a good way of course) it looks.

40kChrista Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I like the range of Chaos itself. There really isn't anything in my army that isn't converted in some way, except for Fiends and Cultists. So as a base for conversions the Chaos range is fantastic, and I include the current Fantasy stuff as well. If I had to proclaim something as my favorite it would have to be the Raptor kit, as others have already stated. It's such a versatile kit that there's really nothing you can't use from it with a bit of thought... oh, and the new Raptor design is pretty sweet too.

Nurgle DP is one loathesomly handsome beastie, I've always found the other demon princes pretty subpar compared to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 What Daemon princes? Non of the other powers got a daemon prince becasue of gw's though that obviously nurgle players are the only ones who need one.It's a lovely model, I just wish they had done one for each god.

Anyone one else painted him red with black gloss on his big horns just so he could look like the Prince of Darkness from Legend? My favourite Chaos Marine Model. It's always hard to pick just one but if I had to choose I would say the Night Lords Chaos lord. http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99060102082_NightLordHeroNEW_01.jpg This guy works for me for a few of very important reasons: 1. He represents his legion perfectly even when unpainted. He is covered in icons of death and evil while avoiding the use of regular chaos iconography (stars of chaos, eyes of Horus or arrows on the armour trim) and being a very old model also gives him the look that he is using weapons and armour that could easily have been scavenged or have been relics from the Horus Heresy. 2. He is very WYSIWYG and comes well equipped straight out of the blister so I don't have to take away or add on any further war gear especially if you own the pewter version like me. 3. Don't like the Wings on his helm? Easy they come as separate pieces so you can avoid the campier look if you like (me, I love them) with only minimal green stuffing to fill in the empty holes in his head. 4. In addition to number 3, The combi-flamer arm is also a separate piece so you could leave it off to use on another miniature and replace it with something more appropriate for you. The Night Lords Conversion kit's shoulder pads work really well with what ever choice you make. Failing that just give it the aspiring champion's Power sword arm so you still strike at initiative in combat while still keeping the theme.

Jolemai Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Quite a fan of Ahriman and the older 2nd edition models. Was also suitably impressed when the power armoured style Daemon Prince with Kai Gun was released back in 2003 (or whenever it was). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Iron Warriors Warsmith - such an awesome mini, kick started my Iron Warriors back when he was released and I have never strayed from the Iron path (for Chaos anyway!). Closely followed by the metal Daemon Prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 My favourite models, I'd say Ahriman, even nearly 20 years on the model still looks good, he's certainly aged better then Abbadon :P The aspiring sorcerer model is also pretty good, and so is the the metal daemon prince and the FW Thousand sons dread.

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hello dark brothers and sisters, fellow lords and ladies, servants all of the Dark Gods. Which is your favourite CSM miniature and why? http://shrani.si/f/N/NL/x3vRj1F/99060102058chaosspacemar.jpg My favourite model in the CSM range is the humble Chaos Lord with Power Axe. An ancient miniature I believe from the 1999. He is my token, my lucky charm and I always have him in my army bag. Being in metal he stood undaunted all this years at my side and I still love to field him. Why I love this model? I think I'll be pick up this Chaos Lord model tomorrow. Going to convert a MkII version of my Warsmith Abhorred Riddick just for display more than anything else & as said before this is a really great model. I was just having a look that the White Dwarf (release of Battlefleet Gothic as well!!) when this model was release & just really cool seen all the difference between the eavy metal team Chaos Lord model. Reyner - I've got the Warsmith model set aside, my try painting him during the weekend. Again just for display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebris Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 I would dearly love to see that my shop would have more characters in stock, almost anything that are not core choices is available only via mail order... hell I have to wait around 3 weeks if I want something. Rant aside, I DEMAND photos of the finished model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it mate, I gave it the colours of Khorne and just looks awesome. I now use him as a Crimson Slaughter Chaos Lord with the Prophet of the Voices relic (the one that makes your chaos lord a possessed chaos marine). Sorry in advance for going off topic a bit. But for anyone who doesn't know the reference I made I was talking about this guy.... http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z30/whammy65/darknessTimCurry.jpg Immediately I can imagine worshippers of Khorne and Slaanesh having a shared seizure upon seeing this image.
