so i like chaos warriors over blood warriors and blood reavers over marauders.
how do you think i can use my blood reavers in a slaves to darkness army as marauders?
i can give them shields which is no trouble but they heavy khorne iconography on them alone seems like it wont mesh well.

maybe theyre just crazy khorne marauders tagging along with a chaos warband?

any thoughts/ideas?

I would say that general silhouette of models is more important than any iconography they may happen to carry. As long as you minimize the potential confusion by being consistent, go for it.

I don't know if actual unit of Bloodreavers can be used in Slaves to Darkness but I would assume no. If you are using lightly armoured muscular men to represent lightly armoured muscular men (and nothing else) with matching equipment and make sure that your opponent is aware of that, I don't see any issue. If Marauders have the option of Mark of Khorne, even better.

As std no. As allies yes. Biggest issue is weaponry. Blood reavers seems to be fielding 2　handed axes mainly. Marauders are either 1h weapon and shield or flail.

If you sort out weaponry to way that pleases you and isn't totally unclear works well enough.

(oh and yes marauders can indeed get mark of khorne)

Im more interested in how to make them mesh aesthetically and fluffily.
Do i tone down khorne on the reavers or tone it up on the warriors?
