So we\'re oficially running the project! The \"Chest of Colors First Anniversary\" army will be created! Want to join us?

If you want to join the fun, contribute something to the project, and have yourself - as a miniature - in our common Chaos Space Marines army, read the full story!

The Chest of Colors Legion will be mustered!

CofC Anniversary?

Yes, our little community is over a year old and we wanted to celebrate this anniversary with a special project. We\'ll be painting an army, which will be sold, and the whole profit will be given to charity. We\'re don\'t want the money for ourselves, we want to do something together. To show that we feel we\'re a community, we\'re friends, who want to do something for a common cause

So if you are a fellow miniatures enthusiast, why don\'t you join us? You will be another member of the Legion

What army?

We decided (after discussing and voting) we would be going for a Chaos Space Marines army. Chaos Undivided, because it will allow more variety and will go well with the theme of various colors (Chest of Colors). It will be also more tollerant to different styles of all the painters involved and will allow more freedom with choice of the minis you would like to paint...

We created a fictional Chest of Colors Legion, where you can make yourself a member of it. When you\'re painting a mini you can call it with your nickname or name, and so, you will become a trooper in the legion

What are the Legion\'s colors?

We\'re currently discussing the colors for the legion. We want to use some colors of our website in some way, so greens and sand colors will be used in some way. We\'re still not sure about any particular color scheme though, but followers of particular gods can use their \'official\' colors as long as the minis will match the army as such

If you want to see what we came up with, check this thread and if you have any suggestions - feel free to submit them :)

What is the Legion\'s logo?

As for now we\'re still not sure what will be the logo of the Legion. You can check this thread and participate in this discussion. Navarro suggested several variants of a stylized version of the CofC sign with a simplified representation of a brush. Some of the ideas are really good!

How do you contribute?

Just check what minis are already \"taken\". Whoever declared their participation in the project, they \"booked\" their minis in this thread. LadyEyes, ToMaZ, and Skrit keep compiling the army list in a separate post, so you should be able to see an updated list of the army (so far) here.

When you know what you want to paint, just let the coordinators know. Thanks :)

You don\'t have enough time to paint a whole unit?

And nobody expects this much from you. Many of us are contributing only single miniatures. If everybody added a single mini to this army, it would be something cool even then! On the other hand, some participants are preparing whole units or even vehicles. We\'re gonna be THE legion!

And don\'t worry much about time, we don\'t want to make people have to rush their works. The deadline won\'t be before the end of August, so that you should be able to paint one mini in this time. If you\'re afraid it\'s not enough, let us know :)


You see, it\'s not that complicated. Maybe you would like to join us?
Have fun :)

Hi Mahon

I\'m interested in painting a mini.... is there a list of figures that are still available to paint? I\'m a bit dim and need assistance lol

I just joined CofC... nice forum :)

@ Beelzebrush: I believe this is the thread you\'re looking for.

This sounds like fun, but having no understanding of the Warhammer 40k universe I have no idea of what to get based on what\'s left to paint.
Are the names of the miniatures on the forum the ones we can find on GW\'s on-line store?

Cheers! I saw that, but like you, I have no clue about 40k either lol

It is a cool project and one I am very much going to enjoy taking part in, I have assembled my Daeth Guard squad and will get to painting them within the next day or two. CofC is a great site and it is nice to be able to give something back to it. Good stuff Mahon.
