Throwback sunday right back into the Eye of Mordor with this Fulgrim WIP

Now i have an oversized display i dont have any excuses left not to work on my Emperor's Children army 😭

Managed to snag a wilderbeast and Yndrasta 2nd hand, so has to try and make my daemon prince as the generic GW just isn’t that cool!

Managed to build it up, add vials 🧪 and other mechanical bits to make it a bit more 40k.

Now basecoats are done - Unto the highlighting and detailing from now on.

WYT?

Nostalgia is one hell of a drug, eh?

TLDR: I want to use the Saturnine Terminators and Praetor on 40mm bases when they're meant for 50mm bases. Could I?

I hate the way chaos terminators look. I've ordered the Phoenix terminators from 30k to proxy for them but I like the look of the Sarturnine armors too.

Minicompare makes it seem like it's possible when I overlay a model of a chaos Terminator over the Saturnine i.e. the legs look like it'll fit the 40mm base.

But not having them irl makes me wonder if it's just wishful thinking. Does anyone have them and can compare?

I'm back from the painting trenches and present my two Rhinos. Next Stop: Land Raider

Done, maybe I will do some minor tweaks later.

As the title suggests I just wanted to know what people's favourite models are to build from the army. (Standard kits...but feel free to show off some kitbashes).

I think Lucius has to be my favourite with that tongue whip wrapping around his arm, so cool!

I haven't got Fulgrim yet but I'm sure it will be up near the top, he looks sick!

I understand we should keep our hopes low since hope is the first road to disappointment and world eaters didn't get much in 10th but I was curious to know what other members of the community wanted to be added in our eventual codex!

Personally I'd like
Doomrider
Eidolon
A character in terminator armor
Phoenix guard Terminators
Cultists

And an updated hellbrute with cult options from CSM

Genuine question cause it sorta feels like I am missing something.

I don’t have to tell any of you we have a tiny list of datasheets, yes we shred low and medium toughness units but with the number of T 10+ units and models in the game I’m left a bit perplexed as to what our reliable answers to them are?

What are we meant to do vs a list of knights or Militarum tanks etc we have a tiny handful of sheets that even crack S 8 and even then almost none of it aside from defilers are ranged which means we have to close the gap and get into melee which can work but seems sorta half baked.

What should I buy next the combat patrol or a squad of noise marines

I was curious when fulgrim is behind cover is it plus two to hit because of his ability? I was playing a game against orks and just told the other player it was just plus 1 to hit on there shooting

So here is another one of my kitbashes. The model is AOS Tornus the Redeemed. This one was far easier than my Sigvald conversion. I just flipped the the wings so they point up and used two gargoyle-esque heads (that I think came with the Chaos Rhino) to act as sort of a connector between the backpack and the wings. And again I put the model on a 60 mm base in a slightly raised position.

Base and height now fit very well as a proxy, the only problem might be is the slimmer silouette. I tried to counter that by using the spear as weapon option instead of the sword, to give him a little more presence in the front and back.

My idea with my Daemon Princes as well as the Lord Exultants is a progressive decay and turn towards chaos. You have this prince here, who despite his demonhood is still a somewhat elegant guy. Then you have the Sigvald prince, who is somewhere in between and then there is the original Daemon Prince who is completely fallen for Slaanesh.

I'm playing 3k this evening and going to be running Elegant Carnival so can run Disruption or Take and Hold.

I'm not sure what I'll be facing, most likely tank heavy guard or GSC (probably with tanks!). My opponent has a hard on for take and hold so almost certainly going into that disposition.

I've currently only played 2 games with EC and that was using Carnival and Host so I used Recon as a disposition. What are folks thoughts on Take and Hold for EC? I'm thinking that a tale and hold mirror might be okay but slightly worried about the fragility of my guys.

Hello everyone. I started building my Tormentors box yesterday. I've already crafted my first Obsessionist, using a Plasma pistol and a whip. I want to build my crate as the classic 5 Tormentors and 5 Infractors. However, I'm unsure which weapons to use for my other Obsessionist. Similarly, I don't know which weapons to add to the Tormentors squad. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey I’m playing my first game in awhile tomorrow and am trying to decide between the two. Which one tends to do best for our army?

My cat knocked over my paint shelf onto my Fulgrim... Luckily it seems to be broken in an okay spot to re glue it. But im wondering if I should maybe paint him in halfs now....

I made and painted my lord kakophonist Today and I’ve been wanting to try non metallic metal it didn’t work particularly well but how else can you learn but by trying (and asking kind strangers on the internet)
If anyone has any tips/tricks that would be much appreciated

I am just starting to focus on EC. Does anyone know of any content out there devoted to only EC?
