Khorne Daemonkin – WIP – 20-07-2015

I didn’t find time for an update before the tournament but ive manged to paint one more thing before the deadline. Here is my Herald of Khorne.

Ive taken him as the army general since it was just a small 666p skirmish. Ive painted it with aero and then finished with standard brush. Im quite happy with how the color scheme went and im even thinking of repainting my juggernauts to replace black armour with brass. But thats something for the future, meanwhile i want to expand my khornate army by finishing cultists and adding flesh hounds.

As for the tournament ive managed to won it 🙂 Ive secured first place together with my friend who played tyranids. It was a lot of fun and required some careful thinking to get the combos right and tap into this army potential.

My army consisted of 1 unit of cultists, 1 herald, 1 unit of five possesed in rhino, 2 units of bloodletters and a forgefiend with ekto plasms. It was all organised into slaughter cult and blood host allowing me to keep feel no pain through most of the turns and summoning blood crushers in each battle. It requires a bit of carefull playing through first turns but then allows you to play agrresively in the second half of the battle getting into a lot of bloody close combats. Ive played 4 battles against Necrons, Grey Knights, Eldar and Space Wolfs and only Eldar gave me a solid beating through superior firepower before i was able to gather enough blood tithe points. Ive said it before but im really happy with how this army is working. Allowed me for some of the most enjoyable games this edition. Looking forward to further expanding this army.
And here are some more photos of the Herald.
