I was wondering whether this sounded like a good idea or just cheesy. You may or may not know of the Legacy of Kain series of games, particularly Soul Reaver, the second/fourth (depending on your perspective) in the series. Basically the game starts by introducing Kain, the lord of a vampire empire and Raziel, his Lieutenant, throughout the game his five "brothers", Kain's other Lieutenants are introduced. Each of the "Brethren" has his own clan of vampires and a clan colour and symbol.
My idea is to paint up my Sorcerer Lord according to Kain's colour's and six chosen according to the brethren's colors with their symbol painted on their shoulder pads, using Raziel as the Lieutenant as well as writing a 40k-ish backstory for them. (I play chaos marines btw)
I thought it was a nice idea to bring my love of LoK and 40k together.
Good idea or no?
Cheers

Yep. Good idea

That would be fantastic if you pull it off well, go for it!

You could most likely pull off Janos and evolved Turel as demons too.

i like the idea
just a random thing, but i think stealer arms would work well with some GS
would like to see this project alot.

I actually created a Raz model using a skelly from fantasy, a Genestealer and a LOT of green stuff ages ago, will have to make him again and post him up here, I had no Idea there were so many LOK fans here. Btw, my favourite Raz pic /\ (except for pre-fallen Lieutenant Raziel)

i think a mix of stealer parts and dark elf and plenty of GS and it will look good.
tempted me to make a daemon prince now, so a much larger scale one lol.

Would make modelling the thing a lot easier, lol. If I can pull it off again (been a while since I heavily converted anything) then I'll most likely use him as a lord or something, or sell him for £25 again

My all time favourite.

I was always surprised at the amount of folk who have played lok, considering that it was never considered a huge success as a series.

Deffo let us see the old Raz if you can find him, the whole idea of this has me intrigued.

chaos, i got alot of spare time and parts mate, i may tinker with some ideas for raziel and see what i can come up with

making his weapon will cause some problems though, but nothing chicken wire and GS cant solve lol.

"making his weapon will cause some problems though, but nothing chicken wire and GS cant solve lol."

Yeah, it's how I made my reaver, I made a physical Reaver for my current lieutenant by bending up Anduril from an Aragorn model and GS-ing a hilt, now that's what I call a power sword.

"My all time favourite"

I forgot that one, I saw it on the bonus features for Defiance, it's a NICE pic

Raziel is awesome, I think he is better than Kain, who is a backstabbing green , although in Legacy of Kain: Defiance and maybe other games, he can suck people's blood at distance

Dude, Kain is awesome, nowhere near Raziel's level, but that guy is deep, he had his reasons for doing what he did to Razzy, he wanted to restore balance and new Raziel would be able to do it due to all the prophecies he sees in the Chronoplast in SR1
Plus Simon Templeman's voice, I cant decide if i like him or Micheal Bell more (Kain and Raziel respectively)
