So I have a tzeench chaos space marine army and I was looking to expand into having some units from the other god, while still wanting to keep it tzeench themed. My idea was to have some models that have the mark of other gods and make it look like they were mind controlled\ manipulated by my tzeench sorcerers. (My warlord would also be a telepath). I would take for instance a unit of khorne Zerkers or noise marines and paint there eyes glowing blue and have splotches of tzeench here and there. So while being painted like there respective mark, it would still be obvious that they have tzeench influence.


My question is if this is fluffy/ would it work we'll?

Considering that Khorne is supposed to be resistant to psychic powers, I don't think Khorne Berserkers being mind controlled by Tzeentch psychers would be too fluffy.

However, they could have been tricked or coerced into following a lord/Sorcerer of Tzeentch. Or, they are mercenaries that are following him in exchange for combat and plunder.

Can't wait to see some painted up!

This is a hard question. Like kronk points out, Khorne is resistant to psychic manipulation. Then Nurgle and Tzeentch hate eachother. So you're pretty much left with Slaneesh. I'm really not into slaneesh personally, but I could totally see some of them in a tzeentch army.

The real question, is what's wrong with all tzeentch? I run a 100% Thousand Sons list that's awesome! Also, with demon allies, you can take flamers and screemers, both of which are basically broken. Not to mention the flying Lord of Change/Fateweaver/Daemon Prince that could be raining down the hurt.

You could use some Black Legion close combat marines, paint them up like BL but with one shoulder pad in Tsons colors, and just use them as "Berzerkers".

That way, you avoid an overly loud Khorne theme because they're just mercs of sorts and happen to be good at spilly blood for you.

On a side note, what would fluffy tzeench bikers ride?

Saw this pic on the GW website awhile ago, it's a pack of bloodletters with lizardmen heads to make them look more tzeentch. they're warrior daemons that guard the Crystal Labyrinth of Tzeentch.

Ha! I get it!

But seriously, Tzeentch affords a lot of cool kit-bashing possibilities For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we've been told that we're not ready, or that we shouldn't try, or that we can't, generations of Tzeentch devotees have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a chaos god.

Yes we can.

I do like the new spawn. T5 3W with a 6++ and beasts.

OMG Obama might the Changeling cus yes we can...change.
