Ok so I was in a hotel for work last night. Miniaturs in hand... Completely let down and dissatisfied with my trial run of Word Bearers and Red Corsairs.

I would like to do a Tzeentch warband, from scratch of my own making... However since I started my prev warband the line of paints I used hbeen withdrawn.

So I have decided to come up with a new warband theme.
Im goign to move on my Thousand Sons, and few Berzerkers to a new foster family.

I have a Rough Idea, of background..

basicly a Chapter, forced onto a 'convenient' Space Hulk with as many population as possible when threatend by a warp rift and daemonic incursion. Said Hulk was deposited front of the rift as it opens.

The planet of course is wrecked, but those evacuated on the tainted hulk are irrecoably tainted in the eyes of the Imperium.
Just as Tzeentch intended.

They of course scrounge and raid to survive


What I need are the following:-

Name of the Chapter
Name of the World, and its type etc
Name of the Warband
Colours of the warband... also how to paint them (ideally keep it simple, and where possible what old colour equivalents are possible). Also keep in mind I have the full range of foundation and ink paints to use as well.

Hmm, I've been mulling on this since yesterday. Still working on some of the answers for you.
"From the fires of betrayal, Unto the blood of revenge, We bring the word of Lorgar, The Bearer of the Word, The favored son of Chaos; All praise be given unto him, For those that would not heed, We offer praise to those that do, That they might turn their gaze our way, And gift us with the boon of pain, To turn the galaxy red with blood, and feed the hunger of the Gods." - Excerpt of the 341st book of the Epistles of Lorgar.

Let me ask this... when you play, what is your favored tactics? Do you have a love for infiltration? A sucker for large caliber weapons? Perfer Mechanized over foot, or vice versa?

Play? I rarely play these days. But I do prefer infantry over vehicles, precise application of short range firepower, with heavies and vehicles concentrating and geared to eliminate opposing vehicles rather than troop killers.

You could paint them black, put a white hand on their helmets and call them the Hand of Tzeentch!

I support Kol's idea. Your champion must also have a head with red hair hanging from his belt.
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

This all sounds suspiciously like a lord of the rings reference.

Of course not. That happens when we name the planet Isengard and say that it was a budding Forgeworld with industry happening all across its surface. ;3

Until then, you just paint black with some green highlights and the white face palm.

I do like the black idea.
However I think I shall do an ice blue trim instead.

Some of the background is clicking into place as well.
When I get chance I shall have a go at writing something.
