 |  My Apoc (WIP) blog thing People of 40Kterra I need your help, I want to start an apoc army and I need your help to choose it, so far I have narrowed it down to: 1) Chaos from the Word Bearers, or 2) DIY space marines based around the Norse Each one would have super heavies and characters I also need help with the fluff for the army and characters. The DIY marines would have IG allies aswell. The army would be made over time due to many reasons. All help is appreciated and progress and pics well be posted when it happens.

Blog Entries: 3   | Norse Marines.. Word Bearers CSM just can't really be 'fluffy' anymore. Besides, you have greater resources and knowledge pool to draw on if you go that way. Off topic: Word Bearers have made me think.. Where is our cuddly blue detroyer of world, AKA Stitch?

Blog Entries: 3 | that color scheme is ACE for the Sons of the Russ (Ruse, with a silibant 's' and long 'u' is the Norse name for Russia, where the Norse came from in part). As far as a name.. How connected to the culture do you want it?
