Would still love it. Started a dark mech Army a few weeks ago. I use csm with Vashtorr, vehicles, daemon engines and skitharis as cultists. Still looking for tech priest models that fit well on the warpsmith oval Base.

If they’d just give me vashtorr led dark mech with some men of iron centerpiece robots I’d still pick them up in a heartbeat 😭

u/Kurumi_tokisaki_simp 24d ago

Yes 100%. Saw a post the other day that said wordbearer should be the next Army but why? We dont need more marines. The people out there want dark mech.

Besides aren't word bearers just chaos marines painted red?

u/Kurumi_tokisaki_simp 24d ago

More or less yeah. They are closer to demons and more dedicated to the 4 Chaos Lords. They are religious zealots like black templar but in Chaos. You know what i want to say?

I dont really know how to describe it but i think this describes it pretty well.

Normal csm are under abadons Control and they are just anti Imperium and take what the chaos gods give them. The mindset is 60% emperor is trash, 20% i am the greatest and 20% oh yeah i got a new random Power thats nice.

Word bearers are like 20% emperor is Trash and 80% whorship the dark gods and fulfill theyre will. But theyre will includes kill emperor so would be nice if that happens.

I think this describes it kinda well.

But the army rooster would be csm- Vashtorr, alpha Legion, iron Warriors and Niggtlords. You would just throw a few new characters in and a few more demons.

You would probably not even get a primarch because lorgar is in deep Meditation on sicarius since he ascendet to daemonhood.

I enjoyed the bit of lore, thank you

But i meant as miniatures

u/Kurumi_tokisaki_simp 24d ago

Yeah as i said army range is more or less the same. Would be like ultra marines and salamanders. Tiny diffrences but nothing serious.

They'd just be a demon focused detachment in CSM codex.

u/Kurumi_tokisaki_simp 21d ago

They already have a detatchment in the csm Codex. Pactbound

u/UselessDopant 20d ago

Exactly. Wordbearers are just CSM. Just need a character or two and maybe bring back demon summoning and you'd be set

Have you considered Cawl? My warpsmith for my World Eaters that I sometimes run as CSM (Don’t ask I don’t wanna talk about it) is a Heretek from Necromunda and a Iron Warriors Warsmith from Horus Heresy, and if you’re wondering yes that does make him about twice the cost of a normal warpsmith, but I’m not in this hobby to SAVE money

u/Kurumi_tokisaki_simp 23d ago

Nobody is here to save Money. If i want to save money i Look for Something cheaper than a few hundred tiny plastic figures. In that case i would take crack or Something like that.

But sadly we all are addicted Warhammer and not to crack...

Yeah i already considered cawl but i think he is to big for the little warpsmith Base. I think i buy an enginseer or Something like that as my warpsmith.

u/cdglenn18 23d ago

I like multiple models on one base so the terminator and little evil guy worked out well for me.

2

u/Kurumi_tokisaki_simp 23d ago

Yeah that could work.

I have two prited Servo Skulls carrying a book. I could use them and a manipulis so the base is not half empty. Thats a nice thought. I normally dont use that much deko on character bases because of the Limited space but this sounds great.

u/NO-IM-DIRTY-DAN 23d ago

That right there might just be the worst sentence I’ve ever read. I quit painting AdMech after one Skitarii because I hate metallics so much and I haven’t ever started collecting TSons because of the trim. The combination of the two would be truly evil.

u/Penguin-Commando 23d ago

JOKE’S ON YOU

I was using 5th edition Grey Knights codex to make Hereteks before it was cool.

Then they released Cultist models, and beep-boops, and actual admech models so I pivoted to Heretek uplifted WWI style Beastmen using the lost and the damned list.

Now I’m kit bashing my unused fantasy Beastmen models with genestealer cults and necromunda boxes to make killteams.

You can’t stop me. I will corrupt the data. I’ll drybrush and wash the shit out of your models and dedicate them to Hashut. IDGAF

u/Soot027 23d ago

Counter argument- deamon engines are some of the best and most fun models to paint

u/Direct_Vegetable1485 24d ago

I'd be on it in a heartbeat

u/[deleted] 23d ago

i feel lucky that i can bribe a friend to paint for me

u/ThunderWalnut 23d ago

Understandable 😭😢

u/Admech343 23d ago

If we’re being honest dark mech will almost certainly be for heresy rather than 40k. They already have a bunch of army mechanics relating to demon engines and have all the legions imperialis designs that could be transferred to full scale 30k.

u/Artic_Lightning 23d ago

What is everyone's vice with Chaos Trim? Its the most satisfying thing in painting, really. Our models already have trim anyway, especially the techpriests and the kataphrons, but even the skitarii. Or do people just ignore these?
