CSM chapters/themes


Recommended Posts

Hey, i was looking to paint up a blob of 20 chaos marines, but wanted to have flexibility (and remain true to fluff) so i could have any mark of chaos i wanted but still have a consistent paint scheme, would i be correct that the 2 undivided chapters (Black Legion, and Word Bearers) can have any mark they want? So if i wanted to run a group of csm with nurgle one game, then have slaanesh or khorne marks another that would fit with the fluff?

 

My csm army is nurgle themed, and painting up all the units with set marks (like only going to run obliterators/spawn as nurgle for example) with the corresponding colours/themes, and the ones that would float between different marks (e.g. possessed and standard chaos marines) as an undivided chapter.

 

This all sound legit?

 

Also are there any real good Black Legion/Word Bearers painting guides around?

 

Thanks

Erm. Iron Warriors and Night Lords are also unaligned, and can be anything you want.

 

It might be an idea to make one guy with the banner, and pin it in place so you can swap them around to let your opponent know what they are dealing with.

Yeah that's probably a good idea, i was going to have an icon bearer anyway, so could magnetise the top of the icon and switch out between the different god specific icons (or magnetise the whole arm now i think of it, since i have a few of the icon pole+arms).
