CCE1981 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 With Shadowspear coming out I am interested in an escalation force of Chaos to go with my DIY loyalists. The parent Chapter to my DIY chapter as part of their lore went rogue. After a font of inspiration I came up with the Void Harrowers! I want the Void Harrowers to work closely with daemons and daemonic units. So most of the units will be geared to towards that. I could use some help fully developing this list. Right now I am think of either Alpha Legion or Renegade Chapter. Predominately Slaanesh and undivided minor Tzeentch or Khorne no “Nurgle”. I don’t like the Nurgle Esthetic, but I can model/convert away from that. I am looking at something that looks cool and will be fun to play with a number of surprises. Also gearing to anything Astartes related having multiple wounds, yeah I understand that means no Chosen, or Havocs or Legions. First turn I am thinking of moving a 9-man unit of Bikes with 2x plasma guns, combi-plasma, and chainswords, withark of Slannesh and an Icon of excess. Buff the with Pescience, Delightful Agonies, and Warptime to get them into my opponents deployment zone turn 1 and endless Cacacophony will dump 36 bolter shots and 6x overcharged plasma shots twice, add veterans of long war if Alpha Legion and they paint a massive “Kill it with Fire” response. I am thinking moving 3x Rhinos with 9x possessed and Master of Possesion each. Masters of Possession can trade non-useful powers with powers from the Dark Hereticus discipline with Chaos Familiar. Also summoning things loke maybe a fourth Defiler in my opponents face, summoned units aren’t part of the army, sound interesting. Thoughts, suggestions, things I’ved missed would all help. Oh, for possessed I was thinking of combing a 10-man Reiver kit with A Chaos WarpTalon kit to get the bigger models and paint them different Chapters/Warbands. Will that look good? Would Morathi work as a Slaanesh Daemon Prince? Thanks!!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354478-diy-void-harrowers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyrak Slaughterborn Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Love the idea, however for me personally id wait a month for all the new chaos releases to roll out. Primaris size possessed work well but i wouldnt use the phobos pattern armour of the reivers... id stick with intercessors for the base and theres plenty of inspiration around for primaris possessed. Defilers are rubbish. I have three and they unfortunately just collect dust. Tried them over and over and im always dissapointed. Morathi works fine as a daemon princess and i believe it was systemsyn that made a beautiful conversion out of her. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I love the sound of heaps of possessed and a Master of possession. Maybe you could use you primaris possessed as greater possessed and kitbash the regular possessed.

Yhat’s half the reason for the eascalation, I am liking a lot of the new models coming out. I was using the Reivers because of the running pose, I will likely use a bunch of different base models for them. I like the bigger Primaris scale anyways so the Greater Possessed might just become the guys I use to bear the mark, coming up with something Grander for Greater Possessed. I have heard a lot of back and forth on Defilers, I was hoping on the points drop making them better and keeping them cheap. Helbrutes are kinda fun being that you can run them at 100 pts or 104 with combi-bolters. I want yo get a few daemonic machines in the list, at least as heavy hitters. I’ve also reconsidered the 9-man bike squad and thought about 3x 5-man bike squads with the same loadout, for 154 pts a squad. Turn one first squad throwing out 20 bolter shots, and 6 overcharged plasma shots twice, then charging will still attract a ton of attention and the other two will reinforce that I can do it again.

General Strike Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Defilers are good if you hit them with prescience and diabolic strength, but dumping two psychic powers into them is costly. But that is 9 S14 AP-2 D3 attacks hitting on 3s with scourge, or 5 S18 AP-3 D6 claw attacks.

CCE1981 Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Lol, I guess GW is underling that I need to slowly collect my Chaos with todays release. A combination of Daemon Engines and warpspawn is looking sweet. Hopefully Defilers get a better model, or I can do some conversions.
