++Blood for the Blood God: Daemonkin community++


Recommended Posts

My army is starting to come together. Painting the Skulltaker at the moment, decided on a brighter red for my daemons! Recently bought the AoS Daemons of Khorne starter boxset for some reinforcements! 

 

At the moment, I have:

 

*Bloodthrister (Old)

*Chaos Lord with Axe (4th Ed Model)

*Skulltaker

 

*2x 10 Bloodletters (New)

*10 Bloodletters (Old)

*12 Khornate Beserkers

*2x 10 Cultists

 

*3 Bloodcrushers

*5 Possessed 

*FW Helbrute (WE one, need to buy a Multi Melta for it!)

*(Maybe some Terminators if I fancy)

 

*Heldrake

 

*Skullcannon

*Maulerfiend

 

After this lot is painted, I think I'll have to invest in Rhinos and a big, big Gorepack. Oh, and a D-Thrister for good measure. I feel that the army I have collected does not reflect the way I want to build it (lots of hounds, fast things etc), but it's built around what I have, which is important enough. 

I really like the conversion. It's subtle but really good.... what will this guy's final rules be?

 

Also... I know you aren't loving the axe. Let me be honest, it's the blade that I don't care for. I personally would have done a blood soaked metallic blade or something much darker in reds. BUT let me say the burnished metallics on the Axe are really, really nice.

 

Please finish him and get some skulls rolling off of that blade. :)

He's just gonna be a boring old berzerker for the fist of Khorne formation. The other axes look better in terms of the gradation in the red to orange, but in the end they won't be as cool as I'd hoped.

Don't know if this has been linked before but a guy on warmer (edit: Warseer, damned autocorrect) is talking about a new AoS book which has some detail on the Hosts of Khorne to add to the three we already know

 

http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?416013-AoS-Upcoming-releases/page15

 

1- Anger Incandescent

2- Seething Fury

3- Wrath of Khorne

4- Apoplectic Ire

5- Infernal Outrage

6- Insensate Rage

7- Executionner of Khorne

8- Unfettered Fury

 

 

This is cool. Now considering the new Daemon touches from the Campaign, I wonder how many of these we'll see?

 

I actually have one more kit I haven't opened. I have no idea if this will have any bearing on the Daemonkin (logically it should, but who knows with GW sometimes.)

 

If we get some more depth or rules revealed on these other Thirsters, I'd love to put one of my kits together and potentially use one along side the Daemonkin as the existing Thirsters are very, very soft. (Eternal Warrior is an absolute must in today's plethora of Force and ID.)

  • 2 weeks later...

I scraped the paint off the dude's axe from before, because I ruined it. The rest of them look good enough, but I'm taking my time with the axes themselves. For now, I'm painting the entire unit one step at a time for all 20 of them. Started with power weapons, (though I have a few left to spray with orange on top of the red), but I'm moving on to the Screaming Bell trim:

Also of note is that I'm pretty sure every single one of them has a unique head. Between the Blood Claws/Grey Hunters box, Wolf Guard Terminators, and maybe a random head from here they're all unique. Oh, and the upgrade kit helm on the icon bearer.

Studying pathophysiology doesn't leave me with much time to hobby, but I've been painting more trim. Almost done with the copper trim. Then moving on to brass and metallic black:

And here's the Skull Champion:

Working on yet another diversion, as it's really hot and I didn't feel like painting during my study break:

 

I'm still kicking around possible names for the Chaos Space Marines aspect of the Brass Stampede. Sons of Cerberus still possible, but Fangs of Cerberus is sounding much cooler to me right now. I think rather than worship of a daemon directly, I think I decided to steal an idea from Talon of Horus wherein the entire warband of traitor wolves is possessed in unison by a greater daemon of Khorne known as Cerberus. I'll get to writing fluff about it one day, but for now that idea sustains me.

 

I'm going to have the 20 berzerkers, and 30 marines riding in 3 rhinos. The 1st squad of 10 was more or less finished about 2 years ago but I haven't taken any photos of them. They're sort of a commando theme dual wielding boltguns and pistols. The other 2 squads are going to look very similar to each other, using mostly the same helm and armor elements. 

 

Here is an aspiring champion from one of the Fangs of Cerberus squads:

And one marine showing the helm and combat blade that the majority of the unit will be equipped with:

I LOVE THAT IDEA

 

Cerberus the many headed dog! They are not just possessed collectively, they are the many heads of a single hunting beast.

 

Haha, I must ultimately give credit to ADB with his description of Khayon sensing the daemon inside the Justaerin, but I stoles it fair and square! Glad you like it. When I heard it I knew instantly it would work for my warband. Learning so much from this book about chaos and the warp. I didn't think it was possible to like chaos even more, but there's so much more depth to the faction now.

 

*edit*

 

I didn't realize Cerberus was 8 letters until I counted it on my fat fingers. Woot!

Could definatly imagine a situation where they all utter in unison or by finishing each other sentences " We are the Many Headed Hound, We are Legion!"

Minor update, wanted him to look slightly more Wolfy so I gave him this pauldron:

*edit*

 

And added some bladed spikes on the side of the wolf skull.

 

Gonna add some battle damage but these 5 are more or less fully built:

Here's another. I have a little greenstuff work to do on his left wrist, but I'm happy with the result:

The last 4 in the unit of 10. This unit has been a blast to build.

 

These 3 are the closest to done:

This is the last marine, needs shoulder pads and accessories:

And I fiddled with this dude a bit. Not sure why he wasn't kneeling flat on the ground with his left leg. Perhaps I glued him together at a strange angle or something. Anyway, nothing some cork didn't fix:

These are fantastic. I personally could see painting them up with those bone white death helmets shown in the codex. I don't know why but that special marking just really appeals to me for these guys.

 

I despise putting models together but if GW actually made a squad like this I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Really great job you've done with these.

NIce.

 

LAst night played a 2 Vs 2 game, Orks and me Vs, BA and BT.

 

BA player had an odd list of 3000points of Scout bikes, Scouts and TAc marines.

 

Now the guy isn't a bad dude, but sometimes he can really get on my nerves.

 

Specially when my GoreAxe lord and Bloodcrushers( first time i've been using them since forever) Kills models-because thats what they are supposed to do- and looks at me saying " And you guys dare complaining that Chaos isn't strong enough...

 

Wish i could Bitch-slap people sometimes

Damn, thanks so much for your kind words. I'm glad you like 'em, Prot.

Yeah, that is a frustrating experience. Naturally, losing to another army means the opponent is overpowered. It has nothing to do with skill, luck with dice, or poor choices on the opponent's part. Chaos is secretly OP and we constantly complain about our army to trick people into thinking we're weak so we have an easier time winning...

Wow a 6000 per side game?

 

How did the bloodcrushers do for you? It'd love to do the termie/crusher formation for fun one day. If only they were T5 they would be gold!
