Kytan Demon Engine - WIP part 2 - "Blood in the Water"

 So finally posting the update of the finished Kytan Daemon engine for my 30k and 40k Warhammer chaos armies. I was able to get him finished just in time for the Eye of Horus podcast event "EOHCON 2024" at the start of the year, was lucky enought walk away with the "Most Sinister" award as well for the conversion. 

 

 Below is a a few pics of the finished product and some action pics during the event. The second Kytan is in the wings getting slowly worked on. Will go more spooky green instead of the blood effects for a change on that one.

 

Kytan Demon Engine - WIP part 1 - "Skulls or blood?"

Finally back posting on the blogg, and this time with a cool simple conversion for the Kytan Demon Engine of Khorne. Very work in progress still and only about half done, but finally getting there and back on the hobby table.

 

 

 Have had a couple of Kytan engines in a box of shame for ages and came across the idea of combinign them with the AOS Endless Spells weapons. A simple cut witha  jewlers saw and some pinning and bam! new weapon for the arm of each one and a really niced matched scale.

Luckily there is the big axe and scythe so I could convert up one of each, I then replaced the heads with a ghostly skull from the same AOS endless spells kit.

For base coating and metals I used an airbrush to put down a black then a dark tone silver, followed up by a zenith lighter silver. This was all then washed twice with the amazing Army Painter Dark Tone wash thinned down with some flow improver. 

Group shot with the incoming Brass Scorpion as well!

Khorne Daemonkin 40k WIP: Flesh Hounds, Test Models and a Khorne Lord on a Jugger

So while all this Heresy business is going on I have been working on a 40k Khorne Daemonkin army as well. I really don't like the older and well out of date GW flesh hound sculpts and as every good Daemonkin general will tell you Flesh Hounds are the work horses of the army. With Scout, beast, move through cover, good formation rules that give hammer of wrath attacks and being able to have them bubble wrap a lord on a jugger is awesome.

So I grabbed a bunch of alternate models from puppetswar and got to work Khorning them up to match my silver, bone and red scheme for the army.



A completed unit of 5 only 11 more to go!


And the lord that they will be escorting across the battlefield as quickly as possible, he is only 50% done but coming together ok. I used terminator legs and chucked on the AOS Khorne standard bearer body with a quick head swap.

A whole table to primed models done as well, note the horde of cultists.....mhmmmm cultists!
