Chosen distinction?
« on: September 26, 2007, 09:26:50 AM »
How are people differentiating chosen models from regular CSM troops?  I am going for giving them robes but want to know how everybody else is doing it.

I'm modeling all of my chosen without helmets and giving them distinctive heads/faces.  I then add a bit of green stuff to make them more nurgly (pustules), slaany (leather leggings), etc.  The GW website has some great tips for customizing chaos units with green stuff.

It does seem strange that the Chosen of Nurgle (for example) are less resiliant than the rank and file Death Guard.  Who, exactly, are they chosen by?

All my Chosen have Plasmas Guns (have to love 5 Plasma weilding Infilrating Chosen) so all i did was change the plasma coiling to another colour.

GW went the easy way to make chosen and that was just to model them with CCWs & BPs and the standard figures modeled with bolters.

can someone please suggest a good torso leg combo for chosen?

I am going to have 2 combi meltas 1 pair of lightening claws 1 lascannon with all of them equiped with cyphers sword to rep a cc weapon below their backpacks!

I dont know what type of helms to use either. if the helms torso and legs matched like dark angels that would be really cool.

hehe if cypher rules are released maybe i can use them as a retinue in the future.

i just plan on using like dark angel veterans painted a different color or black templar models. i also have some grey knights laying around that would make awesome chosen too...

I put mine together lastnight.
darkangels veterans box + bits ordered chaos backpacks+ 3bits ordered (ultramarine) lightning claws + old chaos shoulderpads + 1 powerfist+ 1metlta gun + 1 helmet swap = badass.
I'm going out to grab a darkangels standard bearer to convert into an icon bearer tonight.

honestly they look terrifying. I'm seriously considering doing my whole army like this. a tz theemed robed csm legion with lots of summoning. if only i had an infinite amount of time and money.
