Exactly what it says on the tin. Should I decide on Emperor's CHildren I'll probably give it a mix of black, purple, and gold.Word Bearers would be normal colors.

Those models make good Word Bearers.

They don't really have the EC looks IMHO. I think they look much better as Word Bearers. Plus, they come with cultists.

I was thinking of doing Emperor's Children myself.

Personally, I'm painting them as Blood Gorgons.

Emperor's children wouldn't work because the models are terribly spiky and Khorne-esque.

A DB style Night Lords

i think the way they are is pretty nice, and theres not too much room to convert them, so i might do them as they are on the box.
unless i see something that looks better on those models.

the ones on the box look most like world bearers but it love to see a reaaaly nice job of those purple ones. they could be intersting and unique

they would need a lot of converting to become EC's... for word bearers they are good right out of the box. Word bearers look to be pretty awesome army now. You'll probably be able to take dark apostles with ur cultists making them fearless, and use ally rules to call in daemons.

and oh yeah, if you just want to make them purples go ahead! a nice reddish dark shade of purple mixed in there, with some bone colored cloth, might look cool for word bearers.

The minis really scream "word bearer" to me, and the studio paintjob proves they look good in red... I'd go with Lorgar's legion myself. (actually the temptation to do that is distracting me from my black legion somewhat...)

agreed

As much as i love the Emperors Children, they dont really suit Fulgrim's legion in my opinion.

I'd say wordbearers are easier to do (they practically are wordbearers) but if you did EC, well, I'd applaud you good sir.

Yeah, Word Bearer. All they need is LOTS more scrolls/paper on them. I have no plans to do Word Bearers, even though I quite like the look and fluff, but if I were to do some, these Chosen would be perfect.

^ IIRC there are books and scroll bitz on the Skaven Plague Monk sprues. Possibly other WHFB sprues too. (empire wizards?)

I personally think that Word Bearers would fit better unless you want to cut off all the horns. I feel Emperor's children wouldn't fit the models.

Ya the cultist just scream word bearers.

i know, decide for yourself!

in my opinion world bearers would look better

Word Bearers.

I'm going with Purple People Eaters for mine

They would look good as either, but i am partial to bearers of the word.
