I know the immediate response when reading the title would be to dismiss this idea out of hand because fluff says Khorne and Slannesh hate each other but this idea originated from the concept of having a bipolar Chaos Lord who has two different personalities dedicated to two different gods. I thought making it Slannesh and Khorne, as well as making for an incredibly cool looking model, would be particularly effective because it helps represent two fundamentally opposed gods vying for control over this one individual, as well as making a relatively fluff-friendly way of using Bezerkers and Bloodletters alongside Noise Marines and Daemonettes, without just playing Black Legion.

For the Lord himself I was thinking of making the right hand side (Slannesh) out of the new muscled BA armour (it's so good I had to take a cold shower after I first saw it) and the left hand side (Khorne) from the bezerker plastics and arming him with a really elegant sword and a really brutal chainaxe.

What do people think?

[Edit - Typo]

i think that would be cool idea but what would you with the choas mark?

Go for undivided mark.

Or maybe at the start of each game roll to see which mark is active for that particular battle. Introduce some randomness

This is the sort of thing I was thinking of for the Lord, different head obviously but it gives the right idea.

I'll go with the chaos undivided with the random roll to see which god is in control. Pleasure in killing undivided...lol!

why not a Nugle/Khorne?

or MOT/MOS?

Because he doesnt want to?
I think the point is to emphasise the lords bipolar-ness by using opposing gods.

good point

Yeah, it's meant to be they both want control of him, not let's share him like nice Chaos gods...

I like the idea it's original and off the wall. In other words perfect. Rolling for which mark is in control is great as well adds a bit of randomness that Tzennech would be proud of.

Whoa. This is a really cool idea. Make sure you post pics of it!

Agreed! This looks like a lot of fun, I'd love you to keep us up to date on your progress!

Sounds pretty damn fun

Great Idea, the way I'd do it is pay for both marks and roll each turn 1 - No Mark Benefit, 2-3 - Khorne, 4-5 - Slaanesh, 6 - Both, Tho obviously it'd be friendlies only and i'd ask the other guy first

A bipolar Chaos Lord... oh rather I say...

nuff said.

I will try and post pics when I get round to making him but, given that I'm currently working on some Imperial Fists and I'm only a poor student, this isn't going to be any time soon. Just thought I'd float the idea first to get feedback.
