I'm utterly paralyzed with indecision over the fate of my large Slaves to Darkness collection.
I have somewhere in the region of 20 knights, 2 chariots, a Lord on Daemonic Mount, chaos Lord, 2 sorceror and approximately 35 chaos warriors. I keep thinking about where I can use them and how; ie as a stand alone Slaves to Darkness mob or as mortals in one of the "big 4" armies. I'm reluctant to commit one way or the other for fear of regretting it and having a thematically inflexible force.
So, how does this sound;
I paint them all in generic dark armour, black cloaks etc. Just functional heavy metal colours. Then I paint a banner bearer on foot and on steed in the colours and style of each god.
That way if I want to field them for a specific army I take the unit and have the standard bearer as the one with the mark.
Does this sound like it would work visually, the idea that the guy with the banner has the blessing and he shares it with his comrades?
