Hey guys.

Just wondering as the title says had anybody painted any chaos space marines in white, showcase any models not only marines. As long as they're chaos

Thanks guys.
Kaleb.

I think BoLS's BigRed has Death Guard in their pre-Heresy green on white scheme.

**SilverMK2**

My marines are a dirty white.

Pure white would be hard to make look chaotic, but palid/sluggy/bleached/bloodless white can look pretty good.

I could see pure white looking really cool as a chaos army. It would basically look like an evil white scars army.

**SagesStone**

Well it'd fit with a Slaanesh army in a way.

ive seen really dirty chaos space marines (essentially deathguard

) but ive also seen really clean chaos space marines AND clean white WHFB chaos warriors...

the clean look will make them look really eerie and if you use tamiya clear red you can do the most gruesome blood effects! (bloody hands on their armor (warband mark?) and on their heads... you can even use the chaos warrior helmets for even scarier effects

I painted a few of my tzeentchian WoC models in white:

When painting white (with GW:s colours, then), I always found Astronomican Grey a great base colour for it. Supposedly it is Celestra Grey now. I suppose I could ask, is Ceramite White any good?

**DijnsK**

Yeah the white base paint is really good! I als use the white dry paint for bases and im really happy with it

**Saintspirit**

Oh? That's undeniably good to hear. Hm...

love them. Doing my chaos in a dirty deathwing scheme with DA green cables, gold trim and burn red mechanicus robes.

**Flinty**

If they are white, then the blood sprays make more interesting patterns?

**SagesStone**

Well more noticeable anyway. Works for the World Eaters.

I started painting my CSM white. At first, I was afraid they would end up looking like Storm Troopers, but as long as you make the metallic trim brass or gold they still look appropriately Chaosy (and not much like Storm Troopers). I say "started" because I only painted one power armor guy and my Demon Prince, and spent a lot of time painting other stuff. I think it looks pretty good.

Only thing is, I had already primed my models black before deciding on a color scheme, and this has since made me decide to switch color schemes. As cool as it looks, I'm not a good enough painter to make it worth the trouble, since painting white over black takes forever and is hard to make it look right.
