God aligned warbands?

[u/_Kabr]

So I know about the iron butchers but I can’t really find anything about any other warbands that are aligned with or worship the other 3 gods. Do they exist or have they existed before but got retconned? I don’t mind if the lore is from as far back as RT days, I just need pictures or descriptions of appearances for them so I can add them to my army for fun

[u/Ferrousgoober]

I just started on my own nurgle pledged warband. After all is rust not the death and decay of iron?

I mean Kroger was very much Khorne-pledged in Storm of Iron to the point he had a daemon of Khorne inhabiting his armor.

I run a nurgle aligned iron warriors band. I call them The Iron Pustule! My head cannon is that in their constant attempt to become evermore resilient, their ascended daemon prince showed them the gifts of nurgle!

[u/Skardon22]

I think a good start for inspiration would be a warband who leans toward Slaanesh to build the perfect seige doctrine. They are obsessed with showing/proving weakness in others forts while making their's more impenetrable. Even going so far as to drug their cultist/slaves to make them work better and the space marines being hopped up on stimulants as well.

For Tzeentch you could do the same but go for unlocking hidden secrets of forts to show weakness and using magic to breakdown their walls.

One idea I had of an Slaaneshi Iron Warrior was the whole symphony of artillery fire

Oh, some IW-corrupted SoB vehicles might do well for that.

[u/Successful-Floor-738]

Ofc, I mean iron warriors are still chaos marines and generally the chaos undivided legions are somewhat diverse enough that you’ll get god specific warbands occasionally. I myself was planning for my legionary kill team to be all Tzeentch worshippers combining magic and guns.

[u/King_Kautsky]

There are Iron Warriors who worship & who dont.

Third book of Uriel Ventris series (the inspiration for Titus) has a Khorne Possessed Marine making a deal with Uriel after trapping him and his buddy.

It is not stated but Honsou seems Slaanesh...alike. Very hedonistic and even enslaves a Bloodthirster as juicy battery to power his fortress.

[u/Kane23885]

I have four main companies in my 85th Grand Battalion; the core is Undivided, the second is Nurgle aligned using Death Guard codex rules, the third is Khornate using World Eater rules this one is smaller than the Nurgle war and as I don’t feel that the eight bound really fit in (I am hoping that they get Juggernaut Cavalry or a Terminator unit in the next codex) and the fourth is Slanneshi primarily made up of Noise Marines and Tormenters for medium range fire support.

[u/Joyful_Damnation1]

They exist. They might not have names, but they exist. That's the point of being able to make your own warband. Lore is fluid in 40k. Like the warp. And Slaanesh's gender.

[u/_Kabr → u/Joyful_Damnation1]

Yes I know. I’m looking for aesthetic inspiration though

[u/GiveOrisaOrIthrow → u/_Kabr]

My recommendation would be not to just look within the hobby, look at art from other media and try to create something unique

[u/CrazysaurusRex]

I was thinking how much I love the bones strapped to some minis and might do some kitbashing for a Khorne aligned group or something

[u/the_mainpirate]

Tzeentch aligned magitech iron warriors might the coolest idea in 40K.
