Modelling project: Sons of Malice

Yup, fell back into the good old GW-trap and read up on some Sons of Malice / Malal fluff.
Very interesting stuff, and quite cool to have a chaos army that fights chaos.
Decided for a few things beforehand (had help from Bolter and Chainsword forums <- the best place when it comes to anything with power armour).

The parts of them retaining the old "loyalist" markings and some codex guidelines while still following a chaos god makes for a few cool twists.

- Astartes squad/company markings,
- Using mostly loyalist models and gear,
- Trying to find explanations of the stuff that's not in the loyalist codex that's in my army,
- Will try to leave out models without helmets.

• HQ
- Lord: The Faceless One, using a daemon weapon, based on Sanguinary Guard model with a mask from one of the Empire Wizards
- Sorceror: Space Marine Librarian.

• Elites
- Chosen: Elite troopers a bit like Sternguard.
- Terminators: Terminators.
- Chaos Dreadnought: The madness part of the Dread might be authentic, but it makes it unusable.

• Troops
- CSM: Tactical Marines.
- Thousand Sons: Librarium Guardians, defining their rules with them being careful guardians of the Librarian (Minor Sorceror), both from outside threats, and the threat of the Librarian falling to one of the other gods.
- Berzerkers: They will be melee honour guard for my Lord.

• Fast Attack
- Bikes: Bikers will be bikers.
- Raptors: Assault Marines obviously, but the Raptor models are way too cool to ignore, so I will probably use them.
- Spawn: I don't really know how to implement them into my list.

• Heavy Support
- Havocs: Devastators.
- Obliterators: Thinking of something similiar to a gunplatform, but don't really know yet. Maybe a Dark Mechanicus Techmarine with a bunch of weapons.
- Predator, Vindicator and Land Raider: Predator, Vindicator and Land Raider.
- Defiler: I love the model but I don't know how to get it into a "loyalist" look and feel.

Daemons:
- Greater Daemon: Be'Lakor. Obviously. Painting him twosided with bright(white) and dark(black).
- Lesser Daemons: I'm gonna use converted Dryads (not painted as such, obviously).



So, now I have something else to fill my already full life with. Great.
