I've read books 2 and 3 of Adam Dembski-Bowden's Night Lords series and now my eyes no longer have any irises, I would never fight for, only against, the false emperor, I say 'ave dominus nox' instead of goodbye, and I frequently scream 'death is nothing compared to vindication!'

Since I am totally new to this, I see painting up the primaris as a learning experience and a bit of practice before tackling the Death Guard miniatures, which I think look amazing and I want to do justice. Then I plan to build up a proper Night Lords army.

That said, the primaris aren't throw aways, I just haven't been exposed to enough imperial fluff to align myself. They'll be one of the only two armies I have, and I want them to be decent at the very least.

My wife is the artsy Craftsy one of the 2 of us, but she has no interest in gaming. I have got her interested in painting models with me, and she likes the looks of the iron hands, angels revenant, carcharodons, emperor's shadows, and blood Ravens, but nothing is set in stone.

So please, try to convince me why I should join your favourite loyalist chapter.

TL;DR Which loyalist chapter should I paint up my first ever army and why?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728363/9422958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728363/9422958.page GMT Re:Seeking opinions/advice from followers of the false emperor After considering your paint scheme there comes another question: Do you like the fluff of the chapter? It doesn´t help much liking the colour regal blue on your models but disliking the flawless Ultramarines for being the perfect role model of a Space Marine. If you don´t like the fluff of any published chapter, just create your own along with their paint scheme and heraldry.
Hope that helps.

They also like Lightning Claws a lot. Oh, and as part of their training they have to sneak up and kill a certain kind of bird that is native to their chapter world bare handed. They keep the skulls on a chain on their belt and when they die their comrades carry the skulls back to the chapter world for them.

Other than that, I don't know of any outstanding suggestions based on our post.

As for my favorite chapter, thinking crusading knights in space and you have the Black Templars. Tabards and a desire to punch people in the face with chainswords and flipping the bird to the codex while using all the vanilla toys (except Psykers).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728363/9423176.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728363/9423176.page GMT Seeking opinions/advice from followers of the false emperor
Death to the false emperor! Ave dominus nox!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728363/9423221.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728363/9423221.page GMT Re:Seeking opinions/advice from followers of the false emperor

I think it is a bad idea to ask total strangers on the interwebz how to paint your minis.


It's not that bad an idea. All I want are some leads so I can make at least a partially informed decision. I won't get through all the lore, fluff, rules, etc. before I am ready to paint them. I'm not going to tally up the results and paint what the internet tells me to. I am going to make a focused investigation into what has been suggested. It's a starting point in a vast ocean of data.

@ClockworkZion thanks for the suggestions, I'll have a look at both the Raven Guard and the Black Templars.

Also, if you are looking for painting tutorials, I highly recommend the Tale of Painters blog (google it). They have done many step by step guides to painting marines.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728363/9425460.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728363/9425460.page GMT Seeking opinions/advice from followers of the false emperor RPG player and story teller at heart, but the hobbying aspect of wargaming just resonated with me in such a way that I have been hooked for 7 years. There is nothing wrong with coming up with your own Chapter, heck, get your wife involved with it! I created my own Chapter, and I'll be giving it a Successor Chapter with the Primaris Marines in the future (mostly because I am tired of painting the same color on the models for 5 years now).

It's important to note that the models in the dark imperium set apparently come with ultramarine heraldry modeled onto the plastic itself. This could be a really problem if you plan on using them for another chapter.
I actually think they don't have any Chapter Iconography on them. At least, looking at the sprue pictures on the GW website, I didn't see any Chapter specific iconography.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728363/9425503.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728363/9425503.page GMT Seeking opinions/advice from followers of the false emperor http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728363/9425515.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/728363/9425515.page GMT
