There's limited use in a pack of dogs if the pack doesn't have a suitable leader. Luckily, the 'perfect' character for the job is right there in the HQ section of the Chaos Daemons codex.Enter the Herald of Khorne, astride a Juggernaut to be able to keep up with his charges. Alternatively, this guy can just as easilly represent a Chaos Lord on a Daemonic Mount.
While Beasts and Cavalry do interact a little differently with Difficult Terrain, they behave similarly enough that potential issues are easily avoided with a little forethought.
The model above is kitbashed from a number of different kits. The Juggernaut itself, the rider's legs and right arms (See below!) are from the Skullcrushers. The rider's head, torso, backpack and shoulder guards comes from CSMs Possessed. The final bit is the left arm, which comes from the Blood Throne.
While the initial idea is to run the model with an Axe of Khorne, I have made a little effort in magnetizing the right arm to allow for multiple weapon options...
A little dark pictures, but it look fantastic and blends perfectly in with the rest of your army. A perfect juggerlord for hounds in a Daemonkin detachment as well. Fearless and no Daemonic Instability.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah; love the pose of the rider, weapon options and the chains and of course - the paintjob (wery gloomy).
