Noctus Cornix Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 It is a sad but true fact that basically every older daemon model looked better. I was never a fan of Tzeentch, but I absolutely adored the horrors, the Daemonettes and the Bloodletters. Hell, even the older Plaguebearers looked better...

Noctus Cornix Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Aye Aye, sir! I even plan to add a little bit of fluff to them to explain the difference between the two, sort of as an idea that the larger more bestial daemons are of an older form of thought, more ancient warp creatures that look down upon their fellow Bloodletters as lessers.

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Just had a quick look though your Word Bearer army log - Noctus Cornix. Really great army with a lot of cool conversion. I really like the conversion for the Sorcerer http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/Noctus-Cornix/20140127_044414_zpsc401ca6f.jpg Enjoy.

Noctus Cornix Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks Psycho, can say the same thing about your awesome Iron Warriors! Alright, so a quick update for you guys. I decided that I would actually go for different colors for the two breeds of daemons. For the newer daemons, I'm going to go for this ethereal mass of walking blood, while the older daemons will look more like a dark blackish charcoal, like the blood has clotted and scabbed. I wanted to have a bit of fluff to my daemons so I did some thinking about them. Looking at the model now, I realize that aside from the banner, the Hellblade is the only thing that seems tangible. And, with such emphasis and value placed upon these things in the fluff, I thought 'Why not make that the daemon?' So, to play on the whole living weapon concept, I'm essentially going with the idea that the Hellblade itself is what holds the daemon's essence, forged in the raging furnaces deep beneath the plain of skulls made only from the most bloodthirsty of warp essence made reality. From these blades, the blood of the crimson seas are drawn forth, twisted and manipulated into a shape to Khorne's liking, baring horns and fangs from the bestial skeletons that litter the Blood God's realm. So he's all done aside from the base. I just noticed as I was taking pictures that he has moldlines on the legs... but I've already painted him and to be honest I just can't be assed... http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/Noctus-Cornix/20140512_222103_zps074aa500.jpg http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/Noctus-Cornix/20140512_222117_zpsb2d18676.jpg http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/Noctus-Cornix/20140512_222128_zps0c25d15e.jpg Enjoy.
