dice4thedicegod Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Just starting to build a knight force (including models that could hopefully be fielded as either imperial or chaos). I have a valiant (/tyrant) and I’m wondering if any chaos ‘questoris’ models I add would look better as actual chaos knight models or generic imperial ones? I like the looks of the chaos knight but as I’d like to field the “imperial” models (I.e. valiant/tyrant) as part of a chaos force without any big conversions (will probably just change some base items to distinguish between chaos and imperial) I’m wondering if I should keep all the models “clean looking” in order to keep a consistent look. Or will people raise eyebrows at knights that aren’t conspicuously chaotic being used as despoilers/rampagers ? As an example: WIP changing base decorations: Xenith 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Could say they have recently turned to Chaos, just because your a Traitor doesnt mean you have to cover yourself in spikes and severed heads.

Azekai Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I think covering the model in spikes and severed heads is part of the allure of Chaos as a faction, haha! But your solution certainly works too. dice4thedicegod 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dice4thedicegod Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Thanks guys! Decided to go all in with the ‘normal’ knights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dice4thedicegod Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 Building up a supply of models to use on the bases. Figure I can use daemons when they are infernal, CSM or cultist when iconoclast, marines when imperialis and need to lay my hands on a few skitarii for mechanicus:) Built and painted two warglaives and a castellen over the last week. The lance is taking shape! Focslain 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 A great solution to an expensive problem! Not all Chaos taint is external. Look at some Slaanesh followers, for instance. Incidentally, I'm looking at Chaos knights, which is your favourite game-wise of the big guys, the Valiant or the Castellan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, I'm looking at Chaos knights, which is your favourite game-wise of the big guys, the Valiant or the Castellan? I’m still building and haven’t gotten them on the table yet. So this is just theory hammer: To me, to make a castellen work well it looks like you probably need to be a loyalist mechanicus with cold eradication wt and cawls wrath relic. (Second best maybe infernal, with endless torment custom household and daemonic surges... but it’s a lot worse than the mechanicus) The knight valiant looks best as either: - loyalist imperialis with relic flamer - infernal so you can daemonic surge flamer up to S8 and D3. Also, they look to have a bit of a different positioning role - backfield versus midfield . So which is best depends on what your other knights will be doing!
