Khornate Warband.

So, while I was painting up the quick Slaaneshi warband, I decided to do one for each of the four chaos powers, and this is the result for Khorne:

So, first up is the Bloodthirster, the Greater Daemon of Khorne:

Admittedly, compared to the modern versions, he looks more like a cartoon pitbull than some kind of mind-warping horror from the Nether dimensions, but he's got his own goofy charm:

Next up are the lesser Daemons, the Bloodletters:

Again, particularly odd models, their anatomy is bizarre with extra elbows, bendy spines, and wrists that *really* like to snap, but they look considerably more disturbing than the Bloodthirster in my opinion. Also, in a range that's notorious for not ranking up base to base in units, these really do take the cake.

Next are a couple of particularly sinister looking Chaos Champions:

The first guy is an Eldar Farseer conversion, and the second is a conversion of a Chaos Mage. As he's not armed, and mages are a no-no for Khorne, I've given him an Imp to hold his sword until he's ready to use it. The first champion also has a helper imp to record the deaths of his enemies to read out in blasphemous temple rites.

Next up is the immortal Chaos Champion, Slambo:

One of my favourite Chaos models, he's so simple, compared to some of the other Chaos Champions, but he just oozes menace. Slambo also commands a unit of Chaos Warriors:

These are just basic Chaos Warriors, with a couple of light conversions.

And finally, the Warband leader, a mutated Chaos Champion on Juggernaut:

Mutation-wise, he's been given the reward of The Mark of Khorne giving him a particularly impressive Khornate horns, and the attributes of an Additional Eye, a Beweaponed Extremity, and Wings. As well as his claw arm, and his huge axe, I've given him a helper imp as well to hold a Daemonic Sword until he chooses to use it.

And finally a couple more group shots:

Thanks for reading!
 
These are great! I love the look of the classic Bloodletters, they are proper demons. I have some in my lead mountain and will get to them one day.

Exactly! These and the first Slaanesh minor daemons were some of the best miniatures in the range IMO. Never could gel with the bloodthirsters pose though, always looked a bit two dimensional to me.
 
Very menacing indeed! The bloodletters look remarkably alien, and quite fearsome. And Slambo is always a great addition.

You are going to be a bad influence on me.

Everything apart from the champion on the juggernaut came out of the leadpile, so luckily it hasn't cost me anything, at least recently!

I mean, money I spent years ago doesn't count, right? :lol:

Correct. After 24 months it's dead money.

Hang on - just spotted that you have two sorcerers with familiars - Khorne is not happy! ;)

They've got big-ass swords and erm, 'Imp' helpers, they're not sorcerers, honest! ;)
