I had a long talk on the phone with Tom today and came to a realization. I never posted up pictures of any of my Daemon stuff except the stupid bloodletters! I converted this guy up from an old bloodletter and some bits I had laying around. He was the reason I started the Daemon army in the first place so let me regale you with a story of daemonic possession! In 2003 I bought a box of bloodletters thinking I was going to start a Daemon 40K army. Very shortly after I got out of the hobby. Many years later after getting rid of all my GW stuff I started the hobby again. Soon after I found a greater daemon of Slannesh and a box of bloodletters in a container in my garage. I shelved them and went about starting a Space marine army. Almost three years later a friend of mine was cleaning out his bits boxes and had a bunch of the new bloodletter stuff laying around and threw me one of the banners. It immediatly occured to me that I could make a cool looking BSB with it and some of the old bloodletter models I had laying on the shelf... A Daemon is born.  Here is my BSB. I call him Fluffy the skulltaker Battle Standard Bearer to Ragecleave the Bone Collector. Greater Deamon of Khorne. |

With Adepticon coming up in 48 days I figured I should get cracking on the army I'm bringing! I'm playing in the team tourney with a WOC player. He's running all the anvil/ hammer stuff and I'm running all the fast cav and magic. Last night I got most of my core together, and my rare. I have to build all my specials and the rest of my core today. This is a low model count 1k army so it shouldn't take me long to finish.
I'm not going to tip my hand just yet for those who are going to play in the TT so there will be no pictures of whole units completed or of my list. After the tournament I'll post up pictures of everything I painted for the TT alongside my partners army.
Good luck to all who are playing and I'll see you there,
Chris

I started with an ultramarine blue, washed it with a blue wash. Hit it with a mix of ultramarine blue and ice blue, then straight Ice blue. Then Ice blue and white and then straight white. black beak with the fire lines orange, yellow and white. Grey highlights on the beak and purple on the tongue with a mix of the same purple and white as a highlight there. That looks to grey to me so I'll be redoing that.

Ok, you may not know this but I ABHORE the bloodthirster model. Maybe thats not strong enough. I LOTHE, HATE, DETEST, DESPISE, and generally don't like that model. It upsets me that I built one and used it on the table. It is the WORST model GW has ever put out IMHO. now that I got that off my chest...... I got my new bloodthirster model together today. I was so happy that it wasn't as difficult as I had thoguht it was going to be to get all the joints to line up. BEST Greater Daemon of Khorne model EVER!   |

Washed and prepped, primed and the first coats of red are on. I have to do some touchup work when I get home on the red and then onto layering. I think this guy will look just like my Herald when I get the skin tone done. Thats the plan anyway.  |

Thats "Darkness" from Legend! Frickkin sweet man! That alone makes me want to collect demons! You just need some Tim Curry voice bits to play when you field him.  |
