Manic Monday # 67

 Well another weekend has come and gone and while I dont feel like I did much modeling, I did get plenty of sleep...I needed it too. 

So the plan was to airbrush the Heraldry on the Stormhawk Thursday/ Friday weather permitting. Build MKV Dreadnought arms (Plasma Cannon/ Multi Melta) for MkV Dreadnought. Do some work on Nemesis Skull Reaver. 

I slept in Thursday so painting was out. I did not even leave the house except to take out trash. Relaxed. Later that day I busted out the Green Stuff World Roll Maker and started making some hoses and tubing for one of the 2 Dreadnoughts I was planning on working on. 

I dont think he will live again

So some green stuff tubing and hoses with some sheet aluminum and we have destroyed dreadnought. With the Front of the Sarcophgus open I had to try and to make a pilot

 Yup I think he's dead

Pilot built from Green stuff and zombie torso and head I think. 

As of Friday/ Saturday here is where I left off on the base and pilot

Got wrecked

still dead

So I started on my Other MkV Dreadnought Weapons 

I needed to get some paint on Storm hawk

Friday

Saturday

Panel lining down, Hazard stripping started, gonna try to get weapons casings first coat started 

Did I mention I worked on the Skull Reaver......

Size Comparison

Collar of Khorne!

So I decided my nesxt 2 Terminator squads are gonna be Terminator Squads so I can have 4 Terminator squads as troops since I cna use them more than a 3rd squad of Paladins. 

For Titan! We are the Hammer

 

Crusade

With the Metal Head armory Crusade looming, a few of of us are thinking, retooling, refining our 50 Power Level forces.  With the exception of Flyers, Dreadknights, and few units here and there I have plenty of models completed, so my force is ready to expand as needed. The big debate is who is my Nemesis Hunter and What units do I take.  I can co go big and hard hitting taking terminators or go fast and maneuverable units. being Power Level it is taxign on Grey Knight Players as I can take a Librarian (6PL) 5 man Terminators squad (12PL) and 5 man Interceptor squad (7PL) and thats my list...at 25 PL no heavy weapons. I know I am gonn need some weapons to deal with the other armies and Considering if I am the Grey Knights I have the most expensive base models going to battle. So I am leaning more toward strikes and cheaper units.

Non Crusade

One model I have been looking at, now that he is done, is the Brotherhood Chaplain. I think mine is going to be assigned to the Purgation Squad with Intonement for Guidance in my 1500 pt list. 

So now with that and Sanctuary my Purgation squads can move and shoot at BS 3+ with a 4++ save if the Litany, Sanctuary, and ignore cover if Astral aim is added to the mix. Thats a lot of Dakka.

Nemesis............................

 

So with my group beginning to dive into Crusade, and I am probably gonna play my Grey Knights. In Crusade My Warlord can possibly have a Nemesis if I am playing a Chaos Marine or Chaos Daemon Player ie FREE MODEL for Chaos players. Its one of those models that I should build and paint for my collection for Crusade games. Options are as follows:

• Master Of Possession
• Herald of Tzeentch
• Herald Of Nurgle
• Herald of Slannesh
• Herald of Khorne
• Daemon Prince
• Great Unclean One
• Bloodthirster
• Keeper of Secrets 
• Lord Of Change

Of the 10 options I feel the Master of Possession and all 4 Heralds are a joke. The 4 Greater Daemons......yeah not giving opponent a free Greater Daemon..

So Daemon Prince it is. And when it comes to the Dark Gods....I am all about that Slaanesh but not wanting to fight against. Never been a big fan of Tzeentch or Nurgle....So Khorne it is. The Idea of my Grey Knight Warlord fighting a Winged Khorne Daemon Prince is going to be awesome. 

Years ago I bought the plastic Daemon Prince from GW. 

And well he has been sitting around unbuilt for years. I am still not a fan of this model. While looking up conversion ideas, I stumbled upon this image for a Daemon Prince On Blood of Kittens back in 2018 deemed the Skullreaver Khorne Daemon Prince. 

"This conversion is based on the Ogroid Thurmaturge model from the Disciples of Tzeentch AOS army. The wings come from the Varghiest/ Crypt Horror kit, which is so fantastic for conversions. The axe and belt buckle are from the Bloothirster, his ponytail and Khorne tabbard (not visible) are from the Bloodsecrator AOS kit and the shoulder pads are from the Helbrute.

The basing is the Ophidian Gate terrain and some Miliput."

Size comparison

not much size difference but once properly based and given wings he will be bigger.

So pricing him out:

Generic GW Daemon Prince - $45

vs

Ogroid Thurmaturge- $42

Crypt Horrors-  $50

Bloodthirster- $140

Bloodsecrator (on ebay) $23

So Crypt Horrors I guess I can use as Spawn....or Lesser daemons. The parts out of the Bloodthirster kit are variant pieces so I'll have a Bloodthirster....so Ok its doable.  I will have to source out the shoulder pads from Pop goes the Monkey....but I'm gonna try to give him skulls from the Citadel Skull box as shoulder pads first.

Basing would be my standard urban rubble terrain, with destroyed building and destroyed MkV Dreadnought.....good thing I have spare plastic dreadnought pieces.
