r/redcorsairs

I am working on a Red Corsair CSM army but have only just started collecting and painting Warhammer 40k and I was hoping for some advice from people that are more familiar with the game. I have assembled and painted a couple groups of Red Corsair Raiders and a group of Chosen. I would like to add some CSM Legionaries to my collection, but I see they are in the same ornate style as the Chosen. I personally like the less fancy Red Corsair marine models for my army since I see them as more pirates than cultists. I was thinking about using my leftover bits and maybe the Red Corsair upgrade kit to convert a different box into Corsair Legionaries. Can someone suggest a more "basic" box of marines that would make good candidates for conversion? It would be a great bonus if the box had the weapons that Legionnaires have as options as well.

I’m looking into getting Red Corsairs as my next chaos faction, my question is what’s the best models to start out with as I heard the CP and Battleforce are not the best options. Not looking for too much to start off.

I've picked up the Combat Patrol and wandering if The Lords of the Maelstrom would be a good addition?

Also I know nothing about them so is there any good books to read?

Hi!

I've gotten back to the hobby and happy collecting the new RC kits. Stopped playing about 20 years ago when I sold my IG Valhallans. I sold all but two. I kept the flamer w/ garrison cap, and the running guardsmen w/ helmet for a KT. The running Valhallan was possibly my favorite sculpt until the new Fellgor and why I chose the RC CP.

I'm looking to finish out my last 2000pts. I am planning to take a war dog as a last unit, but alternately I have the following question. Is there viability for a Helbrute with my current army? I don't have a havoc squad to hang back with, and I don't envision the Helbrute fast enough to meet forward infantry mid board. Is there some combo of detachment and unit I should be considering with what I already I have that beneficial?

(Basically CP, BF, and MoM soup, no Daemons)

• 2 Raiders x5 w/ Capt
• Termies x5 w/ Sorc
• Raptors x5 w/ Lord
• Beastmen x10
• MoM w/ Chosen x5 in Rhino
• 2 Legios x5 in Rhino
• Predator
• Vindicator
• YTMNWD

I love the traditional box naught and may want to bash something regardless in the future, but I am interested on how I should play a Helbrute with the units I currently have.

Thanks in advance for any responses.
