Khornestar Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 So I finally finished a unit of juggerspawn. There was a lot of experimenting with techniques and such. 4 of them are second-hand, and the paint didn't strip completely. This obscured some details and such, not sure if you'll be able to notice. Over all pretty sloppy, but I just gave up caring about them being perfect and just wanted something finished. I'm happy with 'em: http://i.imgur.com/ezteqlUh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Dw5aFkSh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/OgXFzdth.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6ca0a0kh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/lnEdjxYh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/V9gvLA6h.jpg The idea for their bases is that they're on a goreworld where the skulls and bones of billions of warriors are ground beneath my army's boots into small pieces/dust. As new combatants are drawn to (or transported against their will) to the goreworld, fresh blood and bones are continually added.

Bloody Legionnaire Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Had my 3rd game of the league I'm in today. VS Space Marines. I found out just how hard it is for us to deal with higher AV. My opponent had a couple of Iron Clads as well as the Vindicator squadron (for the apocalypse blast) and they all had IWND per their formation. He also had a nasty group of bikes 9 strong with numerous storm shields. Stormshields+FnP+ 2 up save on a few models was not cool at all. Maulerfiends let me down BIG time today. They pale in comparison to the Loyalist dreadnoughts with their WS4, 4 base attacks, and Initiative 4. I really think I could have benefited from the Forgefiends shooting, but, I know the Vindicators would have made my forgefiend disappear pretty quick. I guess it's back to the drawing board to figure out what to do against armor saturation.

HeresyBeliever Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 A D thirster or two would help. Fiends should work but like you say the dice gods can hurt. upgrading to the tendrils will help as it reduces their attacks.

He also had a special rule with his list where his Vindicators gained PoTMS... they just reversed full 12 and shot at full BS. Made it very hard for my D-Thirster and maulers to get to his tanks. His iron clads pretty much laughed at my Thirster was well. S10 at initiative with 5 attacks wasn't cool.

Skathrex Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The D-Thrister will always got hurt, and there is nothing you can do about it. Another thing you can do (not in KDK though), is play a normal Thrister and give him the Weapon that makes D hits on a 6. That way you still strike at Iniative. Vindicators are nasty, but just because of their High Strenght. You should to be able to kill them easily in CC. Walkers are a real pain though. Especially for Maulers with WS3 and less attacks.

Khornestar Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Gorepack bikers with meltaguns all over the place are good against walkers. They're toast if they get charged, though.

Khornestar Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Here's a WIP of the second unit of spawn for my ETL vow. I've tried 3 different brass/bronze paints for 'em: GW Skullcrusher Brass: http://i.imgur.com/NjG0R1bh.jpg Vallejo Brass: http://i.imgur.com/KG4hg3Vh.jpgVallejo Air Bronze: http://i.imgur.com/pT4JUsBh.jpg Group shot: http://i.imgur.com/VaXlaqoh.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/33/#findComment-4420830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I'm a big fan of Vallejo air metallics. The non air metallics have this strange, grainy appearance to me. That's just me though. In my humble opinion I think any of it can work, but I have to admit, a steady hand with Agraxearth shade can add a lot of depth with very little labor or time investment. I really wish I had found a spare base to finish my 6 crushers and paint along with you but it appears I missed the deadline! Honestly I'm just really glad to see you doing this as I never thought I'd see the day you would put some paint on your awesome conversion work. I know at times it probably seems like all I do is play competitively but my favourite games are beautiful, thematically matched armies going toe to toe. You've got a great start.

Thedarkprincesnun Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 So with kdk has anyone considered allying in a herald of khorne from the daemons codex with the grimoire?

Skathrex Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 In Apo I saw the oportunity, but that because KDK doesn't perform soo well in big point games. In normal games I don't like to ally becaue I am loosing BftBG. And I think as weird as it is, the Daemon herald can't join a Unit from KDK, because of the Instabiilty. So yes you could have him Hide in his own Unit, but this one would be vulnarable, or Grimoire itself, which would defeat the purpose. But I like running a Tzeench herald, Lord of Change or even a Bloodthrister from Daemons.

oreaper84 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 So i have a general and a specific question that i was hoping to find some clarity on. I have aquired a Lord of Skulls that is all painted up and pretty. Now i have heard/read/experienced that he is hot garbage for his point cost, buuuut i am wanting to use him as a Deamon Knight of Khorne. Do you think that anyone would raise a fuss over this. I'd rather not buy another knight if i have a perfectly good stand in. And for the specific question, i am building a semi competative list for some future play. Mostly for funsies but id like to stand a sliver of a chance against the tough lists out there. It is as follows: -Blood host Detatchment- Jugger Lord (sigil, khorne axe, powerfist) 8 bloodletters 8 bloodletters possessed Maulerfiend -CAD KDK- D Thirster 8 Zerkers in Rhino 8 Zerkers in Rhino 7 flesh hounds -L.O.W- Deamon knight Errant of Khorne comes to just shy of 1850, was wondering what ya'll thought.

Lukash_ Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 You could use him as a Kytan, IIRC the Kytan was originally a conversion of the Lord of Skulls.

Any comments critiques are welcome Out of curiosity .. why the CAD? Are you trying to get OS troops? I wonder if 2x8 of CSM with bolters traded in for BPs would be better (cheaper) in this list. Also out of curiosity.. why no gorepack? I really like running Axe of Khorne and Gorechild on my Chaos (biker) lord. EDIT: Sorry, I for some reason thought the Chaos Knight could be taken as a war engine.

Brother Mayhem Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Daemon Knights of Khorne are awesome. I used on against an Ultramarines army with 20 terminators, centurions, a chapter Master and a Terminator Libby. He killed a Knight Paladin and a couple of terminators before he died horribly to a chainfist. Also had around 1/2 or more of my army engaged with 8 Assault Terminators which wouldn't die. My D Thirster died to Grav Genturions out of a pod, and it was only when my Juggerlord got stuck in that things got done. Even Skulltaker was demolished in a challenge with the Terminator Sarge! I lost the game 11-12, but it was a close game for 2500 points! It displayed how bad we are at dealing with TEQ (2+ save) models. I think actually that a Forgefiend with Ectoplasma Cannons could be a good shout, or a normal one with the special head. It would be a target of course, but it could help me deal with mass terminators...! Maybe even a Kytan could be a good shout.

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Just to say Alex now has a facebook page/blog - Prometian Painting. If anyone want to check out further cool models from his Chaos warband, as seen in the post I done after Throne of Skulls March. During the weekend I was that Warhammer World for the Throne of Skulls event & saw this really cool Chaos Marine force by Alex, useing Daemonkin. Gutted I never mange to talk to Alex until near the end of the event. This was just that the start of Round 4 on Sunday. http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/ToS%20March%2016/DSC00351_zpsbleawu9m.jpg http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/ToS%20March%2016/DSC00353_zpsia6nkasw.jpg http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/ToS%20March%2016/DSC00354_zpsar3qqpeo.jpg http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/ToS%20March%2016/DSC00499_zpsymmuyh8f.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306021-blood-for-the-blood-god-daemonkin-community/page/33/#findComment-4444289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Legionnaire Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So, as I continue to expand my collection of KDK... Are there any models/units you guys recommend staying away from?I've always thought the Daemon Princes were nice looking models but I know the general consensus is too expensive to be worth it. Has anyone tried to play a game with 2 D-Thirsters instead of 1?

Brother Mayhem Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Daemon Princes can be good with wings and blood forged armour or wings, power armour and goredrinker. They're quite fun to use.

Bloody Legionnaire Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Does the monstrous creature unit type allow the Daemon Prince to strike at initiative with the Goredrinker, or is it only walkers that work like that?
