GREETINGS fellow sacrifices... I mean War gamers, I am currently planning an all Khorne army using the BT codex. Lets face it, replace the word 'Emperor' with 'Khorne' and 'Psyker' with 'EVERYONE' you can get a pretty convincing Codex: World Eaters

I am using a converted Chaos Lord as my Slaughter Master (Emps champ) Khorne Berserkers as average BT crusader squads.

Now Initiates are bugging me, since I can't contrive a effective and cheapish way to represent them. I was thinking Bloodletters, or I can convert some of the many guardsmen I have to have 2 cc weapons. The issue I find here is the bloodletters can justify the stats for them, but lack any way of representing ranged weaponry/bolt pistols, whilst the guardsmen shouldn't have Str 4 T 4 save 4+ etc etc

Any suggestions are appreicated

Am currently customizing possessed to be Sword brethren. finally, a less crappy unit for such a delicious model!

**Chaos Lord Gir**

Bump, would love to hear any possible ideas on this

**purplefood**

You could use mutants as initiates...
Sounds like a good idea all in all.

Yeah, did consider mutants but I struggle to find a decent way of modeling them.

**Dakkadan**

I don't know how you are with greenstuff or plasticard but bionics could explain the tougher guardsmen.

Grab a set of genestealers, a set of tyranid gaunts a set of imperial guardsmen (mainly for the legs) and a set of Ork boyz and just glue bits to other bits...
Seriously, it would be good if you use an Orks head for a torso...

**4M2A**

Try using beastmen as initiates. They will look khorney without much work.

**Chaos Lord Gir**

Hmm... Could kitbash some Gaunts, IG and possibly some odd lizardmen thrown in.

*Ideas, forming*

**purplefood**

Pretty much...
Grab some WHFB kits and a few 40k ones and then just glue them together...
See if you can pick up the EoT codex for inspiration, they have some good stuff in there...

**Chaos Lord Gir**

I'll give the FLGS a flick through, they'll prob have a copy I can use.

Ideally I just want a huge mob of Khorne crazed lunatics to crash into the enemy lines, just a shame it actually makes more sense with the rules from a Loyalist chapter than the Chaos codex.

**purplefood**

Ironic that it is also one of the most devout chapters as well...

**Chaos Lord Gir**

The irony is not lost on me

I plan on adding afew 'defiled' BT's items into the army, Land Speeders with the original piolts hung on banners is a start...

**purplefood**

You could armour plate a Land Raider even further by tying the bodies of a dozen or so initates to the hull...

**Chaos Lord Gir**

Also- Dreadnoughts are a big thing about this, I am not going the FW route, just going to customize and build my own devoted slaughter machines.

I may actually have to make a WIP thing of this on the painting and model projects part.

**Crystal-Maze**

I think the beastmen idea mentioned above would make great initiate/mutants - they tend to make great beastmen guard mutants with little work, you'll find some examples it you google it

Also like the idea for the possessed - they are great models.

**Movac**

Sounds pretty cool to me.

**Frazzled**

Agreed. A nice slightly different take on a Khorne army.

Lol, color it what we will, single minded devotion no matter the cause is still single minded devotion.

**Commisar Von Humps**

Cool, like the BA Khorne idea i had. Would be interesting to see sane world eaters dreadnoughts (if such a thing exists...) and Khornate land speeders!

**Chaos Lord Gir**

heh, I have a good idea for some very Khornate missle launchers

**crocodoom**

For the blood god!!!!

**thenoobbomb**

Maybe you should make some IG more Khornish. More red, that is.

Do you mean neophytes?

Initiates are your normal battle brothers. Neophytes are like the normal SM scouts.

Also great idea, I've heard of people doing this before and it makes lots of sense.

**Anung Un Rama**

I don't have the BT Codex, but mutants are pretty easy to build. Beastman would have the right feel for a Khorne force, you could even consider just using the legs and combining them with Cadian torsos.

Ork bodies on human legs are also an option, though most of the clothing will still look very orky. Maybe try the new Savage Orks.

I used a SoB Repentia a Priest in my Traitor Guard. Might work out in your army as well.

**Hido**

I would use WHFB chaos marauders and maybe slap a Khorne shoulder pad on them, since they lack armor and while beefy not as beefy as CSMs
