WrathOfTheLion Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Howdy y'all, I decided to start a small force of Chaos Daemons, picked up a few start collecting boxes (2 of Nurgle, 1 of Khorne) while those are still available, as well as a Beast of Nurgle and figured I'd start painting some stuff up before the Daemon codex comes out. Right now, I'm focusing on Nurgle and Khorne daemons kind of to pair at least thematically with the Death Guard and hopefully the upcoming World Eaters. One question I do have is for when making the larger blobs of Plaguebearers/Bloodletters, do you normally take a banner and instrument per 10, or just one throughout the squad? To start us off, I've just finished a Herald of Nurgle from one start collecting box, as well as the Beast of Nurgle that I picked up Some more images http://i.imgur.com/9kRy23f.jpg TheWarmaster, Lord Marshal, Jorgend Lupus and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closet Skeleton Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Its 1 banner and instrument per squad in the current 8th ed 40k Codex and per 10 (for free) in Age of Sigmar so in a future 9th ed book who knows?

Yeah, I'm planning on also running Maggotkin in AoS. I have that book, but not the 8E Daemons book, which is really the source of the question, as they're free for Maggotkin. I guess for now, what I'll do is just start two squads instead of the big blob, that should be the safest choice.

Not disagreeing with the "who knows", but isn't it currently any number per squad in the current codex? That said, given that there is no benefit of multiples in the same squad, it might was well be 1 each per squad.

Okay, so I have no incentive to really care about more than one per squad, even if they're free like in AoS. I don't think there's anything gained in AoS either, it's just they're free so you might decide to.

WarriorFish Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Good to see more Daemons emerging into real space - you've got plenty of models to go so don't worry about too much right now the important thing is to get some basic squads done to start building on :) Looks like you're off to a good start here with a classic scheme and Contrast :tu: WrathOfTheLion and TheWarmaster 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really used them 'as instructed' before now, but I think this is the kind of job they really shine at. More importantly, I'm having fun with them as kind of more relaxing with a little less attention to detail in between some of the other things which require a bit more. Got some Nurglings up next, have the other three also primed now and the basecoat done: Edited February 4, 2022 by WrathOfTheLion Brother Chaplain Ryld, Lord Abaia, WarriorFish and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Enjoying yourself is the secret sauce to any endeavour :lol: I like the paler look on the Nurglings keep the updates coming :tu: WrathOfTheLion and TheWarmaster 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Made a little bit of progress on that and some other things, but mainly going to be working on some plaguebearers for the next vow for Anger and Arrogance Got 10 primed to fill out a squad a bit more WarriorFish, Dr_Ruminahui, Tallarn Commander and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave to Darkness Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Ahh I love Nurglings, adorable little chaps. Dont look too good painted brown though, wasnt one of my best ideas. Your Beast of Nurgle and Plague Bearers are looking great as well. TheWarmaster, MithrilForge and WrathOfTheLion 1 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I’ll be honest, Nurgle never appealed to me but they do seem easy to paint well and they’re quite resilient as a force.., mithril TheWarmaster 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
