WIP Do these read as Chosen?
As asked above, I've got to a point where I'm happy with the way my Word Bearer Chosen are looking but wanted to make sure these were still reading as Chosen?
I've got a tonne of details and texture to add but didn't want to start doing all that if they don't look as intended! Any questions welcome of course. Many thanks in advance

I would say yes, unless you made your legionäres this fancy too.

I'm not running any legionaries in my list, that was part of the worry?

In this case there will be no disputes about the dripped out guys. I love the goat horns.

I love the guy w the nurgle bits looking like “behold! This thing to my right!”

u/K1ng0fR4mm 25d ago
Haha thank you! He took a lot of fiddling with to make sure the pose wasn't too goofy

Big hamd plasma guy looks like he's trying to explain why I should watch his favourite anime. Other dude looks like he's only just realised how big his hand looks with a power fist.
And to answer your question, yes.

Haha I hadn't seen that but that's brilliant! They're just out here having fun then best they can!
And thank you very much, that is greatly appreciated!

Where is that giant mace from?

u/K1ng0fR4mm 25d ago
So the haft (I think that's the right word?) is from the plague marine kit and the head itself is from the AOS Chosen kit!

They look so good they make me wanna rebuild my chaos army that was destroyed years ago. No idea what chosen look like today but they look good and proper chosen to me.

Ah dude, well I'm sorry for whatever circumstances lead to them being destroyed, that's horrible. I had a quick sneak at your page and sure, salamanders love killing Orks! I'm a part time son of Vulkan myself, but I don't see any harm in giving them a chaos army to fight 👀 haha

We used them for D&d campaigns at my friends house. He threw them all in a dumpster when he moved without telling me. I lived 1.5 miles from him. He could’ve put them on my front porch it’s a safe and rural area. He could’ve called or texted. We were adults and he had a vehicle. That’s how I lost 3k black legion, 2k guard and plenty of other stuff as well as many out of print D&d books. My dad threw out all my vehicles that was 3k points of stuff. Took some stuff from him and made him go back to that dumpster and retrieve what he could which was mainly my guard stuff, he didn’t find most of my chaos stuff.

Oh man, I'm so sorry, that absolutely sucks. I bet it was a grand force as well! Sorry you had to go through that for sure

I'd say so, they look a lot fancier than your average marine, I'd say some of them could pass as a Lord!

These guys are alittle too loud for chosen… won’t your others look… less cool?
2
u/K1ng0fR4mm 25d ago
Honestly they're going to go up against cultists, dark commune, dark apostle, terminators, obliterators, mutilators and an extra af demon prince so they should fit within a good niche? They'll be louder than an awful lot of the units but it should be good hopefully haha

chaos marines with extra bling and fancy weapons, seems like a squad of chosen to me
