Anyway, hey! With 9th edition looming closer every day, I've been thinking about starting up a Sons of Malice force. They are incredibly interesting imo, as weird space cannibals who worship Malice and like to fight both the Imperium and Chaos. So, easy to represent them rules wise, just use the CSM Renegade rules, right? Well... I'm not sure about that. I had a think about it, and the idea of some Marines that just all suddenly go insane and start methodically and efficiently dismantling the local Imperium presence on various planets sounds really interesting to me, and now I'm torn if I want to use 'normal' SM rules with Primaris units, painted as the SoM or to just go with my original idea of doing CSM rules. What do you guys think? I'd love some more thoughts on this, and maybe some advice on what units would be fluffy to run!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789924/10862605.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789924/10862605.page GMT Questions about a new army for a new edition - Sons of Malice
I guess I would first think about my own head canon for them. Are they using Demon princes or Demon machines? Are they using cult troops? Questions like that.

Some options might not be properly supportable by one ruleset or the other, but I would put the consideration which one is more powerful out of the way for the start.

Yeah, this is all very true! Got to figure out what I want to use.

I'm thinking they would use Chaos against itself. these guys would get Possessed in the name of controlling the Daemon and using it to fuel destruction of Chaos itself, or they'd enslave the daemon itself under sheer force of will.

Yeah, that's what I'm not sure about. I guess normal SM get all the cool relic stuff, but CSM get all the Daemon stuff, so I just need to determine if they are more using really old stuff and Primaris more, or daemonic stuff more.

Oh absolutely! The idea of that is what got me into the idea in the first place.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789924/10862919.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/789924/10862919.page GMT
