Smorgasbord of New Daemons of Chaos

Smorgasbord of New Daemons of Chaos

I don't know how it happened, but at some point I started referring to my Daemons of Khorne (Corn) in terms of food. Maybe it was the pun on their name. Or something to do with my wife's occupation (Chef); and how I get to paint and model when she's catering for functions over weekends.

Anyhow, my first Khorne army was called the Khornish Nasties
(Pun on Cornish Pastries)

Now I'm working on a Can o' Khorne.  Thinking I'll call my Bloodletters Fritters from now on ("Flitters" cause they move so fast); or am I getting carried away ? Or am I just hungry?

Anyhow, I'm diligently working away on my Deamons.

Bloodthirster looking good, New Herald of Khorne and Nurgle Heralds (Grand Crane from Confrontation ) and Ettin (Unknown manufacturer), Ancient Herald/Wizard of Tzeench on my own disc creation from bitz box and an old model snapped up at the Kapiti Wargames Club Swap Meet in September last year:

Works in Progress one and all:

(I must be hungry, even misspelt that as Woks of Progress)

Confrontation's Grand Crane (Big Skull) 

being transformed into a Herald of Khorne

My Magpie-like avarice at the Swap Meet last year being turned into a Herald of Tzeench on a disc

The rent in the flux of Magic as a new Herald is created attracts a swarm of Skysharks 

and another Herald of the Devious One

 It appears that Tzeench is pleased. For now anyhow.

A new Herald of Slaanesh uncoils her sinuous spite

A twin-headed Nurgle herald bursts forth in his pustulence

Papa Nurgle is well pleased

Daemons of Chaos Army Book 2013 Pre-order and Limited Ed Armybook

Daemons of Chaos Army Release (2013)

 Pre-order and Limited Ed. Army Book

OK, so the Pre-Orders are up on the GW Website:

The Army Book will look like this, retails for $98.00 NZ 

FOUR Limited Edition Fancy cover Army Books, featuring, by the looks of things, Blanchitsu's artwork.
Each with one of the Chaos Lores on the front page, and themed accordingly:

Price: $180 NZ

Blood Throne of Khorne

$64 

Surely this will end up being called the Cannon of Khorne

Think I'll call mine the "Can of Khorne" for short - will probably be getting this model

Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot

$64

May well consider getting this one too

Plague Drones of Nurgle

$110

May get these for my Nurgle Army too.

Other Heralds? Meh! 

$46 each, with the Nurgle one at $30?

More than just a little disappointed in the Khorne, Nurgle and Slaneeshi models. 

I think they lack originality, and are overpriced. 

Will stick with my own conversions or more elaborate bases. 

Or better looking competitor models at a lower price - many out there now..

And...Why, Oh Why would you make the Nurgle Herald 

$16 cheaper than the Khorne and Slaneesh Heralds?

Battle Magic Cards $22

I won't go on to berate the pricing structure of GW.

We all know that NZ is getting the short end of the stick...
I see players in the US and Europe complaining on the forums that they have to pay $20 for a Herald!

My browser must have opened on the US site, and for a minute I was delighted to see the Army Book at $49.50.
But then reality struck home and I realised that for some reason I was not on the NZ website...
