Rage of Khorne

This is an attempt at a pure Khorne Daemon list.
It is probably not that great. It does have 4 Monstrous Creatures at 1500 points though. I have a feeling it would either wreck-face or plummet badly ....

I'd really like to find a use for skarbrand. Not sure this is it, but... it's worth a try.

Daemonwake

The idea behind this army is to make use of the warpstorm table in a one-sided ... shenanigan..

You actually have a lot of scoring in this list, I just don't know if it brings enough hurt. You get to re-roll on the storm table, then re-roll 2 of the "to-hit" rolls. I Just don't know if 2 strikes per turn on average makes it worthwhile. It is sort of flexible. Not sure if it does the job of clearing the board though. There is some shooting, some psychic, some melee and big scoring. Oh, and you are pretty much immune to the bad side of the warpstorm hits, bar 3 units.

Need.. 10 more cultists, 3 more chaos spawn, Fateweaver, both units of Daemonettes, re-do fabius bile,
a lot of wrok here- could also do with re-doing the chaos marines. But it overlaps with other armies.

Planned Minis- Chaos Marines Tattered Fates

So in the past, a mini plan has resulted in bupkis. Never the less I am doing it again. This time- 3 related armies I'm aiming for, which I have actually fielded, or at least similar, and have a few models for.

So the ideas are as follows-

Daemon-engines Will Not Die.
The core of the army here is a lot of AV 12 with "daemon" and "it will not die" At 1750 it doesn't have a lot of scoring, but it does pull some evil shenanigans. It is also not spammy, in the sense that each unit is different, and actually have quite different functions. There is no instant win button here, but a big toolbox of nasty.

Initially I'm going to model this straight out of the box as GW imagined them.. easy for folks to see what is going on. But at some point I want to build clockwork-bound-warp-engines, and fit this out as "The Red Cages", and erasmus haarlock's minions. (see tattered fates, sinophia, quaddis, xicarph)

Painting Record

So this my paint it and buy another record, sort of incentive to keep painting. So I can buy most plastic crack...

Painting Scheme record for Relic

The minis in relic come in grey..

So I've added colour. This is just ot keep track of those colours for later touch-ups.

Commissar: Brass Scorpion, Pallid Wych Flesh, Black, Blood Red
Inquisitor: Rakarth Flesh, Gehenna's God, Skull White
UltraMarine: Burnished Gold, Caledor Sky, -chainmail to give the burnished some depth

Ogryn: Astronomican Grey, Kislev Flesh as a wash, dry brushed with ice blue/kislev and the white/kislev
Calidus: Black, runefang steel washed with leadbelcher, wild rider red and cassandra yellow

Painting in the works.

So I painted some stuff so that I would have some nicely painted oppionents, and so I can field Lamenters, Carcharodons and Dark Angels as the mood strikes me. *whack*

And I finally got round to pinning and assembling a Lord of Slaneesh who has been the closet, I mean cupboard forever.

Campaign Structure

Campaign Structure
So a friend of mine suggested an escalating series of battles, something like an escalation campaign. I wasn't particularly a fan of the Dark Vengeance battles. Although they were fun, you could look at them and tell who would win..

What I have in mind is a variant using the "Fall of Orpheus"

These are the elements I want to blend in:
1. The armies fighting have an effect on the battle (Altar of War) rules
2. The landscape or zone they fight in has an effect- planet A, asteroid belt B, planet C (Orpheus)
3. The battles start small and get bigger
4. The opponents have some consistent components in their armies
5. Objectives and storyline have an impact on the terrain and the outcome of the campaign but not on the power levels of a given side
6. There are different battle types- Patrol/Skirmish, Mortalis Fight, Battle, Cityfight, Planetstrike
7. Never play the same battle twice, never play relic(ball)

Not sure how to roll this into one, but I was thinking- one player picks the realm, the other picks the battle type, or something..
