Slave to Darkness Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Yes you read that right, as a change I'm going to try something a little bit different for a change as I have been a Chaos player since first ed (I did have some Blood Angels and LotD in second, they got hacked up for conversion fodder, and I had a full company of Dark angels in third, never used it so I sold it, this time I'm gonna stick to it). Been hmmming and ahhhhing over Templars, Dark Angels (virtually chaos anyway) and Imperial Fists but thought I'd try something a bit more underground. The Chapter I'm going for has rules in Imperial Armour, was in the 40k Compendium and was in a 2nd ed battle report commanded by store manager Fred Reed... Any guesses??? http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/6/60/Howling_Griffons_Battle-Brother.jpg ;) Will be picking some bits up in the week to make a start... For Guilliman, son of the Emperor! For the Founding Father! *VOMITS* Sorry, choked on the word Guilliman, I AM still a Word Bearer after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vel'Cona Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Probably one of my favorite codex chapters, though I'm definitely not skilled enough to pull off that quartered scheme. Look forward to seeing the first models show up here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave to Darkness Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Looking at my DV dark angels wondering if i can file off the chapter badge without messing up the pad too much. then ill have another tact squad, termies and bikes for the cause.

Should be doable if you take your time at it to be honest. I did the same with some of the tacticals to make them into Thousand Sons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
