sounds good to me...

hey, a question: if I decide to use a demon pack, where do I get models for the demons?

Daemons come in box sets (Bloodletters, Daemonettes, Plaguebearers, and Horrors), although you can use plastic Beastmen as Bloodletters and Wood Elf Dryads as plaguebearers.

I have added a vewy secksy Predator to my army, to serve mostly as a Tank-killer. next, I plan to add either a fast-attack of either demonic beasts or a helluva lot of Bikers, or I'll add some more Marines or demon packs...

I havent been able to find any demons at my local hobby shop, btw...

Hm... ask to talk to the manager and see if you can special order them- even if they don't normally stock daemons, there shouldn't be any issue with special ordering them, period.

(used to work at a store that sold GW merchandise)

lol... I just thought of a fun littl conversion for a defiler... I just stuck a piece of cloth painted bloodred/fleshtone(kinda) in it's claw. it's actually cool looking.

quick question:

I'm trying to make as much sense as I can out of this Codex...

could I get a rundown of what models can bear Icons for Daemon summoning?


also, where might I find models to represent Greater Daemons?

Icons are passed out to any squad with a mark of chaos. One member of the squad (preferably not carrying a heavy or special weapon) may be designated Icon Bearer, and carry the icon (btw, he's treated _like_ a heavy weapon or assault weapon trooper for targeting purposes). If not, then the Aspiring Champion will carry the icon.

Anyone with access to the armory and a Mark can purchase a Personal Icon (which is the only way to get one on a Chaos Lord or Lt.). The Word Bearers' Accursed Crozius includes a Personal Icon, BTW. Finally Greater Daemons have icons for their patron.

GW makes four Greater Daemon kits- the Bloodthirster (my favorite), Great Unclean One, Keeper of Secrets, and Lord of Change. All four should be available at your hobby shop (if they stock GW merchandise but refuse to carry Daemons, I can put you in touch with a mail- order retailer that does). If you get too bored with the stock models, there's nothing prohibiting you from converting your own (after all, the minions of Chaos take myriad forms). My personal favorite (and one I plan to make) is a possessed Tau battlesuit twisted which was shown on GW's website.

The greater Demons come in their own special box. Sold seperatley from everything else.

You could always try Forge World's, if you have a hell of a lot of money, heh....their Greater Daemons (actually, I think they only made the 'Thirster) is a LOT bigger than GW's!

and a much nicer model.

hey, I've been considering giving my possessed the Mark of Tzeench, to make them Sorcerers... think that's a good idea?  

[Ackturaz]

Just started playing World Eaters after two of my friends convinced me to join. Anyone have any suggestions for my army? All I have currently is 24 Khorne Berserkers.  

[Drachyench]

Get some blood letters, flesh hounds, a Greater Demon Of Khorne, a Demon Prince, Some Chaos Bikers with the mark of Khorne, make each bezerker unit 8 strong and each Demon unit 8 strong.
