This Old Bloodthrister


Kylar The Destructor, my Khornate Daemon Prince of course started out life as a imposing Bloodthrister in 2nd & 3rd Edition. Then the really huge and imposing Bloodthrister came out and this figure went to the sidelines for a short time. I had intended to make a Daemon Prince for my World Eaters but there was only that really lame, small metal miniature. As I was painting the new Bloodthister the obvious idea occurred to me; make the old greater daemon into a daemon prince. I swapped out the whip for a  homemade halberd/war-fork thingie, put him on a round 40mm base, add a new paint job and Kylar was (re)created. I don't have any pics of the "before" but I am still happy with the "after". I have been tempted to make a new version of Kylar out of the current plastic daemon prince kit, but for now, I'm sticking with the heavy lead version.

*******************************************************************
Welcome to the new section cleverly called, New Units. Here I hope to give you nice people a place to display your creations. The 40K universe is really quite big and there are many undocumented heroes, villains  creatures, and vehicles. The old Vehicle Design Rules were never perfect, but I liked them a lot. For many years rumors circulated of a Character Design Rules set to appear in the White Dwarf. That of course never came to pass, but it was a great idea for non-competitive gaming. Put just a little bit of the Role Playing element back into a game that kinda started out as a R.P.G.

So here we are. I have several creations I will be posting in the coming months, but I really want to see yours. Send me the new unit's stats and history with a picture and I will post it. Big or small, from a new super heavy tank to a special veteran sergeant upgrade. Having more units can only increase our enjoyment on the battlefield.
