Daemons of Chaos Book - Finally in hand!

Daemons of Chaos Book - Finally in hand!

At last, finally got my hands on that new Chaos Daemon book. Scanned through last night, will slowly work my way through it over the next few days.

A good read, well thought through, nerfing some of the overpowered units, and really introducing a great element of fun into the Daemons game. I'll probably also bemoan the fact that Fiends have to be in units of 3 now, and that the Masque and Blue scribes has been nerfed. (Thankful I haven't bought the Blue scribes model, nice as it is)

I did invest in the Rot-flies to bolster my nurgle army and the Tzeench Flamer disc. Still have to decide what build will be best.

I really love the element of change and fickleness of magic that has now been introduced to the DoC Armybook. I think it really reflects the nature of the Chaos energy, and how it can buff or damage. Losing a whole unit is not so flash, but I  think it fair given the nature of Chaos energies. It adds the fun element of Greenskins without sacrificing decent WS, S or T.

So I'm looking at my options for tonight's game night at the Kapiti Wargames Club:

(Drat: Still have to build my Rot-flies and Flamer Disc)
Thinking

• Bloodthirster
• Bloodletters with Herald

? Possibly 2 or 3 Juggers (not so sure about this yet)
? or Kharnak and hounds, try ambush rule

• Plaguebearers with herald
• Epidemius

• Herald of Zeentch on disc

? Furies

• Nurgle beasts x 2

So the new Daemon Army Book is out. I had planned on getting to Wellington on Saturday to get my copy, but a family crisis intervened. Had to content myself with digging out my DoCs, and dusting off a few half-finished projects:

1. Bloodletter Herald of Chaos.

Using the (now defunct) Confrontation Great Skull (Le Grand Crane), with some conversion

2. Old Bloodthirster (Really, really old model)
Bought one off Trademe, missing Left arm and whip. Have grafted a spare River troll arm on.
Will have to check stats to see as what I'll run him (generic photo)

3. And the Avatars of War Netherhound

All 3 had long been built and undercoated, now sporting first layer of paint after the weekend. Will get WIP pictures.
Painting them to match my Bloodletters, who are painted in an orange and yellow base-coat with a blood wash, drained from my radial artery (NOT)
