Hello Hive!

I'd like to get your opinion on the following:
1. What is your favorite Chaos Space Marine colour scheme?
2. Which Chaos Daemon army (Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch) would look good as an Allied Detachment with this Legion?

I'm just wondering what looks good on the tabletop. Thanks!

I'm personally a big fan of the Alpha Legion colour scheme and I think Tzeentch Daemons would look cool as their Allies.

Tzeench makes a good match for this(which from fluff makes some degree of sense). Plus Fateweaver is sick nasty still.

I love the Alpha Legion colours. Problem is trying to paint them up was so hard, now the simple red of Khorn appeals to me. Red and silver or Red and a bit of gold I am loving right now in Age of Sigmar. Still love the blue/green of Alpha Legion. Just wish I could paint them justice.

But we have the Genestealer, and so I fear nothing."

The only one I don't like is Emperor's Children, I wish they'd stuck with the purple. Otherwise I love them all!

I did Death Guard in 3rd edition, Word Bearers in 4th and have some Alpha Legion now. CSM are my first love in 40k, tyranids second.

I can't decide my absolute favourite scheme. Black Legion (bronze trim), Night Lords and World Eaters would be the top three for me. I love the bronze trims, for me GW got it very wrong in 4th ed when they started giving chaos legions gold trims. Only Thousand Sons can pull that off, maybe Emperor's Children.

Black Legion would sorely tempt me if I were starting CSM from scratch. Despite being the vanilla CSM legion in the same way Ultramarines are the vanilla loyalists, they actually seem to be very underrepresented by players. Maybe the most underrepresented of the 9 traitor legions, despite probably being the most flexible legion for fluff and army composition. I quite like their supplement too, it's an interesting option being able to take chosen as troops.
