So after
Dark Eldar the speculations are that we are going to have Blood Angels! The Angels
are back!
Not this kind of Angels.
If we see
what the Space Wolves brought I’m hoping Blood Angels get some fast hard
hitting unit that has T5 and two/three wounds. Let’s hope they don’t get a “grey
knight codex”. Just like people are thinking the Dark Eldar are getting. But we
will see that this weekend.
I’m hoping
I mix my Nurgle Angels with Khorne Wolves. To get an army just like I run Chaos Space Marines. Fast hitting
and killing stuff. Heck! Maybe games workshop lets Death Company take bikes!
Which would be very sweet… a T5, feel no pain unit, 2 attacks standard, reroll
to hits, preferred enemy That together with a chaplain. Backed up with some Thunderwolves, Baal Predators,... I can only dream...
Rumours are like these:
via Steve the Warboss -The Sons of Sanguinius will come soon after Endtimes Book 2.(I hope this) -GW will use this release slot to replace older Space Marine Plastic sprues.(doubt this) -4-5 week are realistic. (doubt this)
Enough
about the speculations the only thing I painted this week and weekend were
the flesh hounds I bought from a buddy. They received a wash, some extra colors and only the
base needs to be finished. Other than
that lots of tv series have restarted so fun times ahead
for me and the misses!!
So let’s sit down and talk
some daemon prince stuff. I love the big guys. They are fun to build and there
are some nice conversion out there. One of my favorite is done by GuitaRasmus. His
Nurgle Daemon Prince and his Obliterator Daemon Prince. Just look and all the
things he used to build his bad boys! And then I haven’t showed all his other
stuff. Check it out here: Dark Mech, Nurgle, Khorne, Tzeentch,
Obliterator Daemon Prince
Nurgle Daemon Prince
Next up everyone their
favorite spam person… Goatboy! His painting style is a bit different but his
conversion make up for that. It’s more a personally feeling. I only show some
of his Daemon stuff. You really should check out his blog.
Daemon Prince ?
Fateweaver
His Keeper of Secrets
TJ Atwell is one of the
guys that really makes your jaw drop. He has done some crazy stuff and I’m
looking forward what his going to do with the new fantasy releases. His Daemon
Princes really pop with the yellow and all the necron / mechanical parts in it.
Out of a Hellbrute he made awesome gorilla daemon prince.
Minatour Prince
Lord Of Change
Keeper of Secrets
Gorilla Prince
Let’s not forget my own
daemon princes! First some are pretty standard conversion done. Like a daemon
prince jump pack and some trophies on the red guy. He can be used as
Bloodthirster or Mark of Khorne Daemon Prince. The blue can be used as any
daemon prince. A summoned Lord Of change maybe one day. Then I got the green guy
with the big mace thingy. If I use him in games he is used as a Black Mace
Nurgle Prince. Then you have my Games Workshop Great Unclean One (metal) and
one from Puppetwars (plastic). Mr. Nurgle always tags along now to be summoned.
Then I have a count as Keeper of Secrets. Taken from the fantasy Dark Elves
range. Pretty simple paint job but a fun model to build and paint. The last
Daemon Prince is one of Slaanesh. I did a bit more conversion work on this guy
since he has to stand out a bit.

Random Prince
Blood Thirster
Nurgle Mace Prince

Slaanesh Prince
Keeper of Secrets
Other companies there Daemon Princes: Titan Forge has a nice Nurgle Daemon Prince. Also some nice count as spawn and other daemon stuff. Titan Forge Site UltraForge Miniatures has a nice Blood Thirster!
Saturday 13th
september in Kortrijk it was time for a local tournament. 1850 points, almost everything
allowed! A ‘civil’ list and lots of funky maelstrom missions. We had some folks
from Gent coming to play there. They brought some non-civil list but still it
was a blast.
Damn I dislike Tau!
First
battle was a hard nut to crack… Tau! My favorite 40k army. I faced 9
broadsides, 3 Riptipdes, 1 imperial knight and some kroots. Rolled twice Invisibility
got first turn so I went in with some confidence. I must confess this was match
up that wasn’t in my favor. Surely because of the amount shots and all the ‘Ooh,
you are assaulting my friend? I’m shooting too then!’ Really? Who invented that
rule… First turn my Invisible screamer star (they failed the grimoir) moved
forward right in front of the broadsides. I used one sorcerer and spawn unit to
attract the Imperial Knight. IT worked! But I lost the unit. Then I gave it a
maulerfiend to eat. Meanwhile I eat two units of broadsides. I also gave him
some daemonettes to shoot at. They scored the maelstrom objective so they could
go. End of the battle? 13-7 for Tau. It could have been worse!!!
Rolling dice like a "pro"
Tau vs Screamer star
Battle two
was against Eldar! This was a battle where I had to ask my opponent everything
twice and let him check things. Not because of cheating more of not knowing for
sure. He did play the maelstrom missions very good. Did some funky stuff with
daemons. Locking a wraithknight with the screamer star. Killing almost all the wraith
guard dudes. Holding my objective against his seer council and scoring like that!
I also rolled double ones on my leadership test with the pinkies. BOEM! Unit is
back! Then the hounds killed his wraith walkers. He scored 9-11 against me.
Me facing the Eldar
Third battle
was versus a Chaos Space Marine and Daemon summoning army. He had 10 warpcharges and I had 20… So I controlled the psychic phase. Everything he
tried to cast I dispelled it! Was really frustrating for him… Didn’t get Invisibility
this turn but gathered my entire screamer star around his chaos marines so he
couldn’t get away. In the end he was complaining a lot that he couldn’t do anything
with his list. Sadly I was playing the tactical game and won big against him.
20-0 for me.
See the screamers having fun below the picture?
I end up
taking third place of the 12 people there. Happy me! So I bought a box of
daemonettes to make some fiends. Next tournament => Challenge 9! 4th
of October!
