I marched to the GW the moment it opened today and got myself the Dark Vengeance box. As I've already got more than enough Loyalists (I have around 4000 points of Raven Guard already) and the local GW had organized a "swap your Dark Vengeance armies" event I swapped off my Dark Angel half of the box for more Chaos... So now I am a happy owner of a Chaos Army. Now I just need to figure out a color scheme. Have been thinking around Alpha Legion, Word Bearers or Red Corsairs. Or just something homebrewn.

Oh yeah, I kept the limited edition interrogator-chaplain for myself. With little bit of knifework and maybe a headswap and he'll make a fine heretic too...

For Alpha Legion, I recommend this thread for painting scales and this one for painting the armour.

For Word Bearers, you can't go far wrong with this tutorial.

I'll probably get a box soon too :)

If you go Word bearers the Chaplain with a little work would make a fine Dark Apostle.
The Chaos Lord is a good Corypharus as well.

I also say go for Word Bearers. Red is a bit different from green isn't it, might be a nice change of painting. Alpha Legion is half green already (tourqoise, right?) and while I think that Red Corsairs holds equal benefits for you, I still think that Word Bearers is the way to go :D
I tend to remember things off the top of my head as opposed to checking, so please excuse and correct any official fluff mistakes I make. A lot of it also personal interpretation and theory, so feel free to disagree as well, I won't mind

Hmmm... There is no green in Raven Guard as they are all black, but I've painted plenty of green for my Necrons so probably red is the way to go. I'll have time to think on the colors as I still have some Raven Guard lined up for doing. Once they are all in paints, then its Chaos Time!

Green as in your Nurgle force? The ones who are all frozen up, the Lords of the Rime wasn't it?

Oh yes. I did have a Nurgle force, but those were actually painted with greys and browns because I specifically wanted to avoid the all-too-common poison green :)

Wish I had the time and patience to paint like that! Those Word Bearer tanks are simply awesome.
