Recently, I've been thinking of using the Cataphractii Terminator models in place of the GW ones for my Word Bearers army. It would provide an "older" look to the army, and I have been putting in other Forge World bits and pieces to the rank-and-file marines as well. The intention is to show a Word Bearers force who don't get resupplies very frequently, and thus must salvage and repair from older models.
Now, for the Cataphractiis themselves: the good thing about these models is that they don't have any overt Imperial insignia, which is nice. The problem is how to make them more Chaos-y? I can see maybe putting on horns on the helmets, or just above on the torso, but is there anything else I can do? Does anyone have pictures of "Chaosified Cataphractii" conversions who have done this before?
Thanks in advance.

You could try the etched chaos sheet.

Have you seen the new Word Bearer Jump Infantry from FW? Look at their legs, they have etchings w^hich you could replicate on the cataphracts. A good way of chaosifying stuff, is adding trophy racks on shoulders, chains with hanging skulls instead of the belt pterugees, add chaos stars, try and get some heads from Gors from WHFB they are ideal gargoyle decor for gunmouths. Or you could just wait for FW to bring out the WB Version of Cataphracts and start from there?
