Before things get too rotting and slimy... here are the Khorne Daemons!
There's not much in the Khorne range that appeals to me, to be honest, but these iconic little blenders were high on my wish list. So I got myself twenty of them because they seem fun to summon in.
I'm still trying out Contrasts with this lot. Beginning with a base coat of Grey Seer primer (the 'cold' white one) and then a liberal coat of Flesh Tearers Red.
Not liberal enough, as it turns out - this particular paint seemed to pull together as it dried, so I have to go through the unit twice over to spot-check. It would have been easier to prime them red and wash, so that's a strike against Contrast.
The swords were a more pleasant surprise. With a base of Nazdreg Yellow Contrast, I found I could use Fuegan Orange wash for a very cheap 'n cheerful 'wet blend' fiery effect.
If I were doing it again, I would probably paint on another layer of Grey Seer as a basecoat (even though you're not supposed to need it with Contrast) - it would have made the swords brighter.
The rest of the model was straightforward: Balthazar Gold and Agrax Earthshade for the brass bits, a drybrush of Averland Sunset over the scale, Volpus Pink Contrast for the tongues, drybruhsed Chaos Black for the horns, then picking out the eyes, teeth and claws.
And Blood for the Blood God. Naturally.
As some point, I should get a HQ for them - a Herald would be easy enough, a Daemon Prince could be quite useful, or a Bloodthirster if I'm feeling ambitious (after all, Kraken painted one during a tea-break).
But for now - my opponents just have to keep an eye on the number of reinforcement points my chaos armies hold on to!

Very striking! Simple and effective, that's a good-looking unit for not much hassle.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThis felt like a nice little must-have unit. Narrative possibilities abound!
