Hey Mark, Since the chaos daemons codex got released, this army list keeps coming into my head. For me it sounds like a great idea, but when you actually start thinking about it there is a lot of flaws. I just cant seem to find a way to fix this list. HQ: Huron – 160 Great Unclean One – 280 Mastery Lvl. 3, 2 greater rewards Troops: 10 Cultists – 50 10 Cultists – 50 15 Marines – 250 MoN 15 Plaguebearers – 140 Plagueridden 20 Bloodletters – 225 Bloodreaper, Lesser Reward, Icon of Chaos Fast Attack: Heldrake – 170 Baleflamer 10 Flesh hounds – 160 Heavy Support: Maulerfiend – 125 Magma cutters Maulerfiend – 125 Magma cutters Fortification: ADL – 100 Quad-gun Total: 1835 The plan is fairly simple, Plaguebearers stay with the ADL and shoot the Quad. Cultists hide. Huron goes with 15 Marines and hold midfield objectives. Everything else just charges down to the enemy line (helps with hurons infiltrating trait), drowning the enemy with targets. I know that i cant deal with vehicles from range and flyers. I have thought about switching huron for prob a lord
The Daemonic Rewards in the Chaos Daemons codex are a lickle weird; they are wargear which is randomly rolled for, just like psychic powers. This makes building your unit/model a challenge as some things aren’t a clear cut choice. Rules of the Daemonic Rewards There’s three types of rewards you can purchase; lesser, greater and exalted. All cost the same points for all models who have access to them. You can have duplicate rewards through out the army but not duplicate rewards on the model, you must re-roll if you get the same result. If you do not like what you roll for you can always swap it for the 0 or ‘primaris’ reward. Lesser Rewards 0 – Magic Weapon – Daemon can take an etherblade (S:User AP2) or if daemon of khorne take axe of khorne (instant death on wound of a 6+), daemon of tzeentch can take a staff of change (if enemy model dies then it explodes all units in D6″ take S5 AP- D6 hits), daemon of nurgle can take a
Well, day after the Daemons codex is out, I gotta play against them with my Space Wolves! We did 1750(usually do 2k but decided to go a little smaller due to time and he wanted to start slightly smaller). We rolled for all the startup shtuff, and here’s how it turned out: Mission type: Purge the Alien Deployment type: weird diagonal deployment that I always forget the name of No Night Fighting(YAY) Warlord Trait(Daemons): His Warlord(Fateweaver) causes Instant Death in Melee Warlord Trait(Space Puppies): Warlord and units within 12″ roll an extra dice when running 1750 Space Pups Rune Priest: Divination Rune Priest: Divination Wolf Priest: Runic Armor, Saga of the Hunter*Warlord* 5 Wolfguard: 3 Combi-Plasma, 2 Terminator armored, 1 with a cyclone missile launcher 15 Bloodclaws: 2 Flamers 10 Grey Hunters: 2 Flamers, Power Weapon 10 Grey Hunters 10 Grey Hunters: 2 Plasma Guns, Wolf Standard 10 Grey Hunters: 2 Plasma Guns, Wolf Standard Vindicator 6 Long Fangs: 5 Missile Launchers 6 Long Fangs: 5 Missile Launchers And the new Daemons consisted of… Fatechicken(rolled a 3 on Biomancy and Pyromancy, a 4 on Telepathy, and took the Primaris Divination power) Great Unclean One: Level 3 Psyker(Nurgle), Exalted rewards(rolled a 5 so goes back into reserve with 1 wound the first time after he dies) 20 Bloodletters: Bloodreaper(rerolls Invulns), Bloodbanner thingy that aids one charge per game 20 Pink Horrors: Iridescent Horror(+1Wound It Will Not Die), took the Primaris Power of Tzeentch 20 Plague Bearers: Poisen Banner(unit is Poisened2+[once per game?]), Plague Champ(got 3+ armor save) 15 Flesh Hounds Daemon Prince: Nurgle, 3+ armor save, Wings, rolled same Exalted Reward as Great Unclean one Whoa that was alot of rolling! having two MC’s that come back to life once is pretty handy, even if it is only with one wound! Here is how the board looked(Long Fangs on the hill anybody?). Daemons won first turn, took the side with the calculater on it, so deployed. Pink Horrors far left, Bloodletters to their right in between the two medium sized hills. the 3 MC’s went on the grey hill roughly in the middle of Daemon deployment zone, while the Plaguebearers went on the far right. The dogs went in reserve. I deployed my Wolf Priest with my Blood Claws across from his Pink Horrors(didn’t Outflank this time). All the Grey Hunters go to the middle or right side in front of the large hill thingy.
This past weekend I managed to get in a lot of painting and knock out a unit of 10 Bloodletters. First up some shots, which aren’t very good. I’ll get better quality ones later when I have time to set … Continue reading → The post Hobby: Bloodletters Complete appeared first on Creative Twilight .
The final bloodcrusher of my pack has finally been based after much time has elapsed.
My summer class is wrapping up, with only a single paper left to submit. So, I figured it would be a good time to get cracking on my Chaos Daemon army. With little to no experience with or against Daemons – I have played 7 games against them ever – most have which ended badly for me (see Video Battle Report on Tuesday) -
