The Nightmares of Scyla
After 2 years in a row trying to go for my Slaanesh beastmen herd, which resulted in joining the field of bones way too soon, I am back with a vengeance!
And what better way to get a proper vengeance, than turning the table around and going for a Khorne deamon army!?
I had this fixation over Scyla Anfingrimm, this atrocious character stuck in his body, his mind consumed by his visions as he roamed around the chaos desolations.
I guess back then it helped my young brain processing the idea that a successfull hero could created his own downfall by pushing himself over the edge.
Anyway, fastfoward many years where I wrote the fluff for a Khorne deamon army on the now desolved "Wargamming Montreal Forum", which has never seen the daylight until now.
It was originally built around the Storm of Magic 8th edition concept, explaining all the plastic and the need for large units as you may see below;
Scyla, rampaging beast walking across the lands, only to find a place to rest and sleep... And in the process generating wounds in the fabric of reality, his feverish dreams of violence and vengeance pulling demons in the mortal realm.
The army I invision will be much more entertaining in 3rd edition under the Deamon Legion of Khorne rules, so here is the plan;
General - Bloodthrister 0 pts
2 units of 8 Bloodletters 1200 pts
1 unit of 5 Bloodletters on Juggernauts 750 pts
1 unit of 8 Fleshhounds 480 pts
1 unit of Khornate Legionnaires 240 pts
1 Khornate Champion on Hydra chariot 400 pts
2 units of 3 Chaos Spawns 600pts
I think it entirely fitting that The OCHO features Khorne armies, and this is definitely an offering designed to please the Blood God - lots of lovely old lead in there, I look forward to seeing the finished product! :D
ReplyDeleteOmes are indeed good for a Khorne project during OWAC VIII. I like your vision behid the project and hope to read more of the fluff you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun concept to come back to. I always love to see some interesting metal minis, so that collection of winged demons and dragonmen and so on gets a big thumbs up from me :)
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of old Chaos metal there. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMore of the old Juggernauts! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with he paint on this one - there's a lot to get through, but surely the Ocho and Chaos will be in your favour!
Nice to see someone else planning to paint lots of demons
