So, I decided to begin a deamon army. Why? Well I have been playing 40K and Fantasy for a long time and I wanted to do something very different that usual. I have collected Black Templars and Dark Eldar, these have been my main armies. For fantasy I rock the Tomb Kings!
Because I have a son on the way (due in a few weeks in fact) I thought that If I where to start a new project it should be one that will not be ultra expensive, so I was thinking duality of purpose (and system) hence... Deamons.
In 40K they are a nasty army to face but they are not the be all end all. This means that I will be giving myself a challenge when I play them and because the dynamic of the army is so different then it will also keep me entertained.
In Fantasy deamons are still one of the nastiest armies that you can possibly use, and therefore this would be my main purpose for them, competitive fantasy play. So a lot of my unit choices will reflect their use when played in a competitive fantasy list.
Anyhow. My brother gave me a few models for my birthday:
Bloodthirster
5 Khorne Hounds
In fantasy these are fantastic! The bloodthirster is a monster in the WHF world and the khorne hounds are not far behind. As for 40K tho, the BT is decent but not always deemed the "best" and the hounds are lackluster (although not against Grey Knights!).
So a list that I should be working towards in fantasy is this:
Thirster
Khorne Herald BSB
Tzeench Herald
20 Horrors in unit
30 Bloodletters in unit
10-15 Khorne hounds
12 or so flamers. Maybe less.
Now, This list that I just posted is brutal in fantasy but I am not sure how to translate it to 40K appropriately to make a game out of my games... So, I was wondering if I could get some insight from the community into how I could mold this into 40K without changing the models too much, or purchasing too many new things.
Anyway.
Cheers!
