Thread: Emperor's Children

  1. #1

    Emperor's Children

    Ok, I hate the given colors for the emperor's children legion, i mean come on we're freaking chaos marines, my 4 year old cousin saw them right away and declared she liked them best, wonder why? anyways, I was wondering what other people paint their emperor's children marines, other than the colors specified in the codex? what do you guys think?

    Mine have:

    All trim done in Chainmail.
    Left shoulder and right leg in Fiery Orange.
    All other armour sections in Chaos Black.



    [[Before you comment on the strange colours on some, my dad painted these because he will alws insist on painting the Elites or HQ units in my army (did a great job on Yarrick and the Ogryns). He has, to say the least, a not-so-firm understanding of Space Marine colour schemes (I think he took it too literally when I said "contrasting colours") so don't start giving me the "omg they're crap" thing.]]

    Those would make a cool color scheme if your army was called the Black Bengals or something. Very original. Just so you know dude, you may be chaos space marines but you were space marines befor which might exsplain the colors.

    Pink.. because that's the colour they're supposed to be.

    Why does everyone have such a problem with the colour pink. It makes sense, in this case. Besides, there are so many shades of pink.. you can go from shocking to pastel, creating some very interesting effects.

    I suppose you could be 'pre heresy' and paint them in purple..

    Nothing wrong with making your own renegade chapter and using the EC list, but painting marines in non standard colours and calling them Emperor's children just reeks to me of trying to change things to suit yourself. The EC wear pink and black, that's been decided already, now work within that.

    That's the colour Emperor's Children are supposed to be. Just because they're listed as Emperor's Children doesn't mean you have to paint them the pink and black. All they are is Marines with a Mark of Slaanesh.
    The fluff behind mine is that they're just a squad of Black Legionaires who worship Slaanesh and have become Noise Marines.

    @Bigshindig. I know what you mean about the pink. I showed my dad the Emperor's Children and he said "Hell no, I'm not painting gay Space Marines." :lol:

    I've seen this type of discussion many times in many different forums. You don't like the color scheme? Fine. Paint them however you want. Search around for different space marine color schemes. You can find a bunch on the GW website, and pretty much every color scheme you can think of in the "how to paint a space marine" book. What colors do you like? I say paint them however you want. Or better yet just make a DIY "pure" slaanesh army using the same rules. You'll get less complaints and fluff writing can be fun. :cool:

    I paint them just as they are on the box, or at least try. The pink color really sucks and sometimes doesn't come out very well.

    Tanks are easy, just paint them black and color the turrets and depressed areas pink and use gold on trim.

    Paint them however you wan't. I play emporers children and use regular marines with a really old paint job. It don't matter how you paint 'em just as it looks good. I call my legion the Forgotten and they use EC rules but I don't paint them pink. They don't even look like Chaos space marines. Instead the look like marines who fell in the middle of a cross fire. :yes:

    Paint them however you like, people shouldn't argue. Slaanesh is by far the god with the largest range of color choices: lotsa colors. Read some Emperor's Children fluff, they're described with different color armour by almost every author.
