thanks guys - could we have some more pictures? i'm trying to decide how to paint these models i was thinkign iron warriors, but i'm being drawn towards some sort of red?!!?!? :(

i'm so confused...!

Red, eh?  Well, you could do Word Bearers!  If you're not bothered about having daemons this army might not be the most apprpriate as it's part of the Word Bearers background that they have more daemons than any other chapter!

But I think the Word Bearers may be easier to paint than the Iron Warriors - chevrons and gold trim might be a bit fiddly on Epic scale (says he who will eventually paint an Epic Iron Warriors army1!  :laugh:  )

while i don;t have any demons - i woudln't mind them!  Essentially i think it snow a decision as to whethe ri get to use techmarines or chaplains with chaos inf!!

why are these decisions so hard?!

can you have more than one chapter in an army?! with E:A rules?

Thanks for the diemensions L4!

I have seen the FW pics i was just wondering if any one has any painted ones? You know... the type of pic thats gonna tip the balance in favour of getting them right now, instead of one of those models i'll buy some day ;-)

From the test schemes i did for my chaos units, i found that the Word Bearers was hardest purely because red is not a colour i can paint well, its funny how you get colours you can paint really well but colours you cant isnt it. I can paint blue really well, in my opinion, but i cant paint red.... weird!

The iron warriours i found the easiest, with the black legion just slightly less easy than the iron warriors.

can you have more than one chapter in an army?! with E:A rules?

well taking the black legion as an example, you could paint each formation to be from a different traitor legion, and i was toying with this idea myself, but in my opinion the force as a whole wouldnt look unified.

hece trying to deside on a legion and sticking to it...... i agree though its a hard choice.

Now, if SG or GW re-released some plastic chaos marines i'd do some from every chapter many times over, but they haven't.....:(

i think  i only have enough for about two detachments!

does anyone have any pics of word bearers in epic?

Plus C/Squats, Terminators, Bezerkers, Champions ?etc. ... ?" ... Dark Powers to carry on their Hellish Crusade ..." - M. Addams ! ?:;):  :devil:  :o0

It's an upgrade that goes on one of the 8 stands, leaving 8 stands

SO, the saga is ocming to the end - i have decided on word bearers (Sorry CAL!) as i did some practise paint jobs and thought they looked coolest (blood red/magenta ink, over a chestnut wash, blood red/pin highlights, silver trim) especially when i get to add some converted chaplains....(speaking of which i think i'm going to do a little stand of iron warriors so i can throw in a warsmith...)

I also figured that by doing word bearers (12 to a squad) then i could use 3 figures on a base - and stretch what i have a bit more, also allowing me to create a whole det of havocs

Anyone go tany ideas for little conversions to rhinos to make them appear only slightly chaotic(i will be looking through de'aynes..)?

and what colour schemes have people used for chaos squats?

and...i don;t see an entry for bestman in E:A exp rules - are they in lost&damned list?

phew, so much to learn and find out!

T-J

Yep, they count as "mutants" in the L&tD list.
