Thedarkprincesnun Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Just had a rather amusing tactic in my head Ally 1 or 2 conclaves into a csm or kdk list with zerkers in Put said zerkers in terrain Use geokenisis power number 6 to chuck them.into the enemies lines Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/29/#findComment-4386053 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backslide Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 thought I would add my daemonkin to the mix: there is more I should take better photos Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/29/#findComment-4386391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Venom, that knight is sooooooo awesome!

Khornestar Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Thinking of using this Bloodletter as a "dirge caster" but not totally sold on it yet. It might be a little much, take away from the coolness of the knight on its own.

Plague Angel Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I think the Bloodletter overburdens the Knight. Trust me, that's the sort of thing I did on my very first models when I was a wee lad, and I regret it.

Adra'Melek Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 You could use the horns though. That should tie it to the bloodletters anyway.

Khornestar Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 It was much cooler in theory than in practice. I'll let the little juggernaut heads/spouts from the LoS kit act as the dirge casters.

KrautScientist Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 While I agree that the Bloodletter seems a bit much you could always go one of the following routes: a.) have the Bloodletter emerge from the Knight's carapace at the waist, like it's actually fused to the carapace/emerging from the very substance the Knight is made of b.) use multiple Bloodletters that are clambering over the Knight's carapace c.) a combination of the above d.) use opion c and paint it all in tarnished bronze, to make it look like it's all decoration instead of actual live daemons. Just a couple of ideas, off the top of my head...

Khornestar Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I like those ideas very much! I'll have to think on it and fiddle around, some. I really like the idea of the letters as part of the knight, emerging at various points. He's a daemon, after all!

KrautScientist Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Yeah, you know what: Let's just be crazy for a moment here and imagine you covering the entire back of the Knight in Bloodletters emerging from the carapace like it was some primordial goop -- some of them would only be faces and hands, some would be almost fully formed.That could actually end up looking fantastic! You should probably use the standard plastic carapace to try that out, though. Which means you could always fall back on the pristine FW carapace if things go south.

Khornestar Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 And I have more bloodletters than sense, so I can in theory pull that off for both of them.

Teetengee Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Bloodletters crawling out of a surface is pretty easy too. http://i.imgur.com/hBqmql1.jpg EDIT: 'letters, not 'thirsters. A bloodthirster crawling out of a surface sounds terrifying and awesome, but not easy.

Brother Mayhem Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 It's a pretty sweet idea definitely :) So, how are people using knights for their Daemonkin? I know Prot has gone into detail about how he uses them, but I was wondering if anyone else was using them with the Daemonkin? I'm looking at adding 2 to my Chaos Armies in general, 1 with 2 Gatling Cannons and a Battle Cannon Chainblade one.

Khornestar Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Bloodthirsters crawling out of a surface is pretty easy too. http://i.imgur.com/hBqmql1.jpg I had forgotten you made that! I've built one emerging from one of the shoulderpads, but used green stuff around the edges to make it look like it's a part of the armor pulling away from it.

Teetengee Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 GS is definitely a good plan. Wasn't necessary for mine because it was just a bases and no one would really notice it underneath the bloodthirster, but on a knight carapace it is a good plan.

Khornestar Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Alright, here's how the shoulder pad is looking right now. I'm reasonably happy with the results. I think pulling off a good paint effect for the transition between the armor plate and the bloodletters/skulls will be the key: http://i.imgur.com/xbDRw5eh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wJjVtBdh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/TqjA1ZDh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Zmxjspoh.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/29/#findComment-4389679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 You are definitely on to something here! The effect is very well done, and I think having the Bloodletter's pose conform to the shoulder pad, by and large, was an excellent choice: The challenge here is to have the emerging daemons enhance the Knight's silhouette with some suitable chaotic spikiness without breaking it up too much. By the look of it, you are off to a terrific start! Not quite sold on the skull, though -- personally, I would have preferred to see a Bloodletter face/head emerging from the right side of the shoulder pad (only the face and a hint of the horns, maybe).

Khornestar Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I'll have some bloodletter heads here and there for sure. I liked the skulls embedded in Archaon's dragon thing, and the Khorne monstrous creature from the AoS starter set. Didn't quite end up with the same effect but we'll see. I won't be using too many. I envision much warp-related weirdness going on throughout the knight's armor.

Prot Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Venom that's crazy stuff man. Just a word of advice. A Bloodthirster came to my dreams last night... he said to me, "Get Venom to paint some of those awesome conversions up... or I'll be forced to show him the error of his ways with my thirsty D-Axe".... I just wanted to pass that along to you. ;) Also, that shoulder pad is extremely well executed. I don't know if I'd go that direction, but you've nailed the effect.

Khornestar Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks to both of yas. SOMETHING will get painted for ETL. I primed some jugger bikers and spawn, so if the knight isn't ready, they will be.

Prot Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 You just have to force yourself through a few squads. Seriously this works for me. You start seeing lots of colour on the table and it will motivate you.
