Midnightmare Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Question - Can a unit of Terminators and attached Character(s) deepstrike within 6" of a Bloodletter/Bloodcrusher unit featuring and instrument and not scatter IF one of the Characters in said Terminator unit is a KDK Herald? I haven't got the rewlz in front of me but just had an idea featuring Abaddon, a Herald and some Khorne Terminators Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/22/#findComment-4279473 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnightmare Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Laaaaaaaame guess it would work for warp talons fwiw, so at least they can be pin-point accurate for their turn standing around. Had my hopes up for a (semi) fluffy entrance for Abaddon then, ho-hum.

Prot Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yes I've used it with warp talons and while I did get off pinpoint Blind tests,it's too expensive to be truly effective.

Khornestar Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yeah, I'd imagine Bloodcrushers are the "best" way of getting the Icon where we want it, but that's 155 pts minimum to make a 180 point minimum unit DS accurately. And they both are used for 12" movement and AP3.

Prot Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Actually I used 2 squads of bloodletters because they're cheap and disposable. I don't care if they die. Look at I like this if one squad comes in aggressively then they grab the warp talons automatically and get to extend another 6" very deep into an advantageous Blind location. If I get lucky then both Bloodletters grab a squad of daemonic units in reserve. I don't think you can be that aggressive with bloodcrushers nor guarantee 2nd turn arrival.

Khornestar Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I guess it depends what else you have rushing up the board, because going full speed ahead there's no way bloodletters are going to match the crushers for distance. You make a good point about having to be careful where you put 'em, though. If there are enemies in your own deployment zone due to drop pods, I'd say bloodletters get the job done for sure.

Slayer le Boucher Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Was thinking about something the other day, when i was looking at Venom Juggers cavalery pics. Why in the Nine layers of hell don't we have a Blood crusher cavalry?... I mean SW never, since RT til 5th Ed had any mention in the fluff or somewhere else, not even a model or a picture or illustration, that would have let you assume that SW marines would go into battle on Wolves back, at the time people allready found ridiculous the very concept of Marines on a steed, because of weight considerations and the like. And at 5th ed, sudenly, they got TWC... Now Chaos since RT era, had CHampions on Juggers, not only Lords or D-Princes( yeah in 3rd you could put a D-prince on a jugger), but squad champions!. And for some reason, they never bothered to give the only guys that makes sens a Zerker/Marines on Jugger cavalery unit... I mean look at this :cuss!! http://www.coolminiornot.com/pics/pics11/img45db3937c5c33.jpg Yeah...i know..., they're ugly as sin... But still my point stand. Well in the end its just another rant really, but still it pisses me off...

Khornestar Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Well in the end its just another rant really, but still it pisses me off... I'm totally with you, slaughter brother. They're missing out on a :cussing gold mine. Maybe they're saving the idea for a rainy day, should they put that much forethought into Chaos. Anyway, here's what I've been working on: Finally finished priming and such. A few mold lines snuck through, but I'm just gonna roll with it. I settled on a color scheme for these guys, thinking of calling them the "Sons of Cerberus" or something "of Cerberus," at any rate. Gotta have that Cerberus. Black armor with copper trim, using GW Screaming Bell. Really love this color, and haven't had a chance to use it much until now. Probably because I never really paint anything, eh? :P http://i.imgur.com/qRjJz0xh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pciry2wh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/lwcIqjSh.jpg About half the unit has these frost axes, the other half is armed with dual chainswords. Not counting the 2 plasma pistol dudes and the icon bearer or the champ. Planning to use some other metallic colors. Metallic black for some of the details, brass for certain other things. Dark grey for the joints.

Khar'vros the Crazed Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ooo! Very nice work Venomlust! I really like that screamingbell. I've been trying to come up with an original paint scheme for my army...I thought about using that scheme you used for your 'bikes' for all power armor/vehicles and liberally apply blood splatters....but maybe this might be a bit more striking of a color to use.

Khornestar Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks! And yeah, you really don't see copper as often as brass/gold/silver. I like it. As for my bikers, I think I may cave and just go with the classic red/brass and maybe do full brass on the unit champs. We'll see, having a hard time deciding.

Khornestar Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Painted most of the details and washed everything, leaving the black armor for last. I'm really liking this color scheme: http://i.imgur.com/yvCEKWwh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xEilTquh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9HuMfUSh.jpg I think I want to paint the axe blade a vibrant red. Just not quite sure how to pull it off. Will have to do a little searching for the right recipe/technique.

Slayer le Boucher Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Nice model Venom! So on another note i played a 3kpts game friday Vs a Salamender list I added to my usual list a FW Infernum dread, a unit of Spawns, a Drake, 3 units of Bloodletters, 1 unit of CSM, i could have added other stuff, but the guy said that he wanted to play 3kpts to be able to play his list, and since i din't plan acordingly i did with what i had in my boxes. His list was a Gladius or something like that, 8 pods full with 10 man squads, 6 tacs, 1 assault , One Dread and one deva, one with Vulkan and cmd squad, formation with the 3 WW and speeder, a land raider full with artificer armor marines, and a Chapter Master on bike with a cmd squad on bikes, nearly all with meltas and multi meltas, bikes with Groovytron and Devas with Heavy groovytron. I win the initiative roll, i let him deploy and start first so that i don't waste my turn around since i allready deployed my models to negate him any safe landing zone in my back yard anyway. 4 pods comes in first turn, he combat squads them and nimbles a bit one model here, one there with his shooting, unfortunatly he blows first turn my raider with his cmd squad with Vulkan. Now of course he is exposed to the Wrath of the Khorne followers. to make it short, by turn 3 he conceed the game, because i lost a Dread a unit of Hounds, my Raider, while he was left with only his Artificer armoured unit that failed an assault, his speeder, his 3 WW where 2 of them only have 1HP left and 2/3 pods scattered on the middle axis of the table. Had a few highlights, namely a desperate 10" charge from one cultist unit, that succeded, not only did the cultists kill 3 marines, they also drive them off an objective, securing me a VP! My Jugger Gore-Axe Lord killed a few marines before going after the Chapter Master on bike and his cmd squad and murdering him( Str10, +D3 A, Ap2 is brutal as :cuss). Now since things where going pretty well, i completly forgot to make my reserves roll for the Drake, and i din't feel the need to summon any Skull cannon or anything like i usually do. And thank Gods i din't, because even before the game the guy was like" ok so i allready know that by turn 3 i'm tabled, yada yada yada...". When it happened off course-then again what did you expect, when you litteraly deploy your army 5" of mine and that gives you only one shooting phase?-he went " see?, my Battle plan is flawless, Turn 1 deploy and shoot, turn 2 been assaulted, turn 3 die horribly", ...well the way he put it was kinda funny.

I tend to really like non-traditional color schemes but always gravitate towards the classics when I paint. The only thing I did a little different was the axe blade. It seemed way more like a mouth with teeth than a metal blade to me. Also, batteries make great objective markers!

This happens far too often to me as well. Khorne favours the bold! I can't tell you how many fails I get from my 'ace' unit only to have a peon carrying a piece of wood with a rusty nail hanging out of it winning the day. It cracks me up but every game I can point to it. I feel so much better about cultists in this army over any other I've tried, and I came to realize it's because in my lists, they aren't worth shooting at.... So anything they do feels like gold. (Man, if they were S4, I would love them a lot more.) Thanks for the batrep, but did he actually use a full Battle-Co with free transports? Because at 3K wow... he would have had tremendous low level firepower that should have taken a lot of T4 stuff off the table. Also, good for you on using the Landraider. I'd love to, but it would last all of 1 turn in a lot of the games I play. He looks great, very clean painting, and some nice traditional looking colours. Very nice.

Khornestar Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Not the best pic, but I've been working on the berzerker some more. This one is a little messy. I need to fix all the white spray that got onto the black armor, but that's why I left the armor for last. His axe is a little too thick in terms of the paint, but the others look better since this was just the test mini. Not really sure what to do in terms of highlights, because I honestly just want to leave it red. I may paint the runes glowing or brass, but otherwise I sorta just might leave it alone for now. http://i.imgur.com/cN9HNoqh.jpg And a cultist I was playing around with to figure out how I was gonna do the skin: http://i.imgur.com/6ICnwPxh.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/22/#findComment-4283618 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Agreed. The cultist looks really good. I can't imagine painting 24 of them though! That dude does look a touch sick though. He may want to see a doctor. It is that time of year. The skin brand is a good colour.
