Daemons scratch built Portal Glyph

 This is my portalglyph. It is made of plasticard. I made it using this template:

This is from here http://synaps3.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/building-portalglyph.html and you should check it out cause his one is good too.

To make it just get some plasticard, cut out the template, and start slashing to create a worn effect. The battleworn look on it is fantastic and leads to some nice shading later on during the painting process. Actually making this wasn't too hard, just be careful of your fingers. The nice thing about this portalglyph is it is undivided, meaning any daemon army alligned to any god can use it, although i sneaked in a nurgle symbol in there to show my true alliegence.

I painted it using a chaos black basecoat, followed by a mechanicus standard grey drybrush, nuln oil wash, another mechanicus standard grey drybrush (lighter then the last), then finally a light dawnstone drybrush.

In general game use as every chaos daemon player will tell you it is FANTASTIC. Get one.

Cheers.
Until then

You've probs already seen this, but its a 40k MMO. It looks awsome, and you can now throw money at them! Will be playing this as well. Also this:

The pledge manager for this is coming up soon so you can get another chance to get the miniatures. This guy is incredibly talented and i will definitly be getting a Maggot demon to use as Scaebithrax (the Daemon lord of Nurgle).

So yup, cheers for reading. I will be posting a scrathbuild portal glyph i did soon, so stay tuned for that.

Until then.

No daemon prince nurgle daemon army 1750

While daemon princes are my favourite unit in the game, it is sometimes nice to use something different, like a list with no flying things at all. This is where this super awesome list i came up with and have tested out comes in. Analysis of list after i actually show you it:

Herald of nurgle - Warlord
Locus of Fecundity
Mastery 2
Exalted reward - portal glyph

x3:
Herald of nurgle
Locus of Fecundity
Mastery 2

x3:
x10 plague bearers
icon of chaos
instrument

x20 plague bearers
plague banner

x2:
x3 plague drones
icon of chaos
plague ridden

x2:
Nurgle soul grinder
baleful torrent

Aegis defence line
comms relay

Everything rolls on Malefic daemonology, you hope to get cursed earth and try to swap some powers with summoning. Deploy the big blob of plague bearers (which man the aegis), the drones, the aegis (obviously) and one of the heralds (preferably the warlord). Everything else is in deepstrike, with one herald for each bearer squad. Your whole army will have a 2+ cover. first turn if it is behind the aegis (which it should be).

Move the drones up but keep them hidden. Throw down the portal glyph and use the herald to try and cast the summoning or something like that, you might as well. Then turn 2, you have a 8/9 chance of each unit coming from reserve due to the comms relay, and the plague bearers have instruments to further ensure the grinders come on. Deepstrike everything behind the enemy or in front (just where ever there is space, you need alot) using either the drones icon or risk a plague bearer squad and scatter. Deep stike everything close together (at least within 12'' of one or more heralds) using icons to safetly land and cast cursed earth with one of your deepstriking heralds (put alot of warp charge into this as it is important, and to minimise chance of denial from your opponent). This makes your grinders and plague bearers incredibly hard to kill (4+ invun + FNP? Yes please). You then procced to cast whatever you see fit and whatever you need. The grinders use their baleful torrent to mess with stuff.

Turn 3 you charge all the stuff you deepstrike and fuck everything (especially with the soul grinders).

From using this list i have found it works, and is incredibly fun. Your going to need a lot of plague bearers (50 starting off, then more to summon) but it is worth it.

In the game i was playing i used possesion to summon 2 great unclean ones in the course of the game (mainly because i wanted to have fun and fully test Malefic powers) which was useful if one part of the battlefield needed help. The problem with doing this though is you lose overall warp charge (herald = 2 charge, Great unclean one = 1 charge).

The fun of this list is its intial passiveness, which turns to fully blown aggression turn 2 onward, which can take your opponent of guard.

From the games i have played of 7th, i have found it to be incredibly fun. I would even dare to say it is the best edition yet.

Also thank you all!! I now have my first follower and first comment on my blog, plus almost 4000 views!! I will do my best to post every now and then and keep content on this blog good. Thank you all again.

ONE MORE THING I PROMISE! I am working on painting my soul grinders, and they look fantastic. I will finish my first one, then document the painting of the second to do a how to painting guide. I will warn you it is going to be a LONG time before i get round to this but it will come in time.

To anyone who has stuck round and read the entire post, thank you! You get 1 awesome point and this gif:

Cheers.
Until then
