It only just hit me earlier that this year will be my 30th in the hobby, so I thought it would be a good time to start a new project (yes another one), instead of just 'starting another army' I thought I should do something different to mark the occasion. After some head scratching and beard chewing I have decided to go back to my roots and do a first edition army log. My aim is to build two forces using the original army lists with some RT era terrain for them to fight over, eventually leading to some old school batreps to mark the completion of the project. For the forces in question I have decided to do something we dont see much of every day... SQUATS!!! and MOAR SQUATS!!! Well technically Squats and Khornate Chaos Squats with a smidgeon of World Eaters thrown in as allies. Eventually Ill add in some Tzeentch Squats and some Legion of the Damned as well (dont worry, they will all be in Mk6 armour for that nostalgic vibe). Decided for the bulk of the forces I will use the Wargames Atlantic Einherjar, heavy weapons teams will use the Wargames Atlantic Grognard weapons with Einherjar crewmembers. World Eaters I already have ready to be painted and the LotD will be using the FW Mk6 kit. All scenery will be made out of any old gubbins and doodads I find laying about the house, as was the way back in the Dark Age of Technology. For the moment I will build the forces to 2000 points to start off with to get the bare minimum needed for legal armies done, then I will start adding in more juicy things. Currently flipping between multiple books trying to work out the armies in advance, I think I can squeeze 2k of Squats out of a full box and 4 additional sprues of Einherjar, an actual army for under £40 pleases me greatly, Ill be ordering a couple of sprues at the weekend to build my Warlord and Hearthguard squad, the spare mini will be the basis of my Khorne Squat Lord...

The Changeling is quite frankly one of the most OP being in Warhammer. In fact, it is so overpowered it can easily win the Warhammer setting during the War in Heaven If the Chaos Gods wanted to give Horus a cakewalk victory then all the Changeling had to do is kill and impersonate Zagreus Kane PRIOR to the Schism of Mars!!! -'Kane' then personally goes to Koriel Zeth to kill her and take over her city. Same thing with Maximal. Kelbor-Hal gets the Akashic Reader so now he can MASS-PRODUCE twisted versions of the most powerful DAOT Warmachines immediately!!! -Schism of Mars is a one-sided slaughter as the vast majority of workers and soldiers on Mars are now part of the Dark Mechanicum -More Forgeworlds join Kelbor's traitors. The remaining Loyalist Forgeworlds now fight each other to appoint a new leader! -Legio Tempestus, Knight House Taranis and many other Loyalist Titans/Knights are not as loyal as they are in Canon. The Dark Mechanicum now has many more Titans and Knights -Sigismund and Fafnir Rahn die on Mars, even if they had brought several times as many troops as they did in Canon (This means Khârn doesn't die and he gets to kill Thane and the IF Libraruans in First Wall then kill Amit and Zephon in Warhawk THEN kill Raldoron and Amon Tauromachian in Echoes AND THEN kill Azkaerllon, Ollianius Pius, Khalid and a few Custodes in The End and The Death Vol 1 before finally dying!!!) -Ashen Claws are 'convinced' by 'Corax' to attack the White Scars in the Chondax system, killing 10k of Khan's sons in the process. They then attack the Wolves alongside the Alpha Legion. Ashen Claws are wiped out but they kill 20k of Russ's sons at Alaxxes Nebula. -'Sangiunius' orders the Blood Angels on Baal to attack the Shattered Legions, killing Shadrak Meduson and a few thousand SL Marines. Unable to tell truth from lie after the Changeling is exposed, hundreds of Blood Angels become Chaos-worshipping Blackshields. Corax is forced to take them out, losing a few hundred of his Marines in the process -Changeling then kills and impersonates countless Astarte and Imperial Army leaders so they and the soldiers under their command defect to Horus, at the worst moments for the Imperium -Archamus and Camba Diaz both die in Solar War along with 99.9% of the Loyalist ships, including the Phalanx. Corswain doesn't stand a chance (but he never makes it to Terra in the first place) -Horus reaches Terra much earlier in the war and with SEVERAL TIMES MORE forces in his Armada!!! Other ways Changeling can really do some damage: -Impersonate a missing Loyalist Primarch to deceive countless Imperials into worshipping Hurne (Chaos) and brutally rip apart the Imperium through civil war! -Impersonate Macharius after the real one dies. The Macharian Heresy causes much more damage to the Imperium, especially to Space Marines and Knights. Sabbat Worlds Crusade doesn't happen. Traitors occupy most of Segmentum Pacificus before the 13th Black Crusade

Hey everyone! I am a long-time Dark Angel player, who is a very inexperienced beginner in the whole paint-side of the hobby. One who has decided to try and form a 1k Mono-Tzeentch army of Daemons, despite his otherwise long-standing Imperial Allegiance. I've always loved the look of the forces of Tzeentch. Paiting them will be a lot of fun, and playing them will also add something nice to the variety of armies my local gaming group plays. So, here I go. This will be a slow process, which I'd like to keep track of here. To record my progress along the way. I hope anyone who wanders off into this thread will find some nice pictures and anecdotes of this attempt at painting a Daemon Army. Thank you.
