I’ve experimented a little with 40K and found its not really my thing, but I’ve never tried AoS.  I wanted to take part in this weekend so I thought I’d get an army that’d let me play AoS as well aso 40K, and I already own 3 Khorne Daemons and the Wrath and Rapture box, so Khorne it is.

I have already finished painting up 3 big Daemons over here.  It is my intention to use the same paint schemes and recipes where applicable, although maybe use fewer steps on the front line infantry as they don’t warrant the same level of attention as the bigger special pieces.  Here are my existing painted models as an example of the effects I am hoping to match or improve upon:

My plan is to paint the Khorne half of Wrath and Rapture at the same time as this start collecting box.  I’ll be breaking it down in to its two primary colours: the red of Daemon Flesh, and the black of my Daemon armour.  I’ll be airbrushing these colours on to the models first so it makes sense to get the similar models together and do them all at the same time.  The Vehicle might be saved until later as it has a multitude of colours on it and I am still thinking through how I want to approach that.  I hope to have a better idea once I’ve built it.  I do plan on finding a way to magnetise it to allow me to use both variants at will.  The Flesh Hounds will also be a separate task.

OPINIONS WANTED: 

I am currently thinking of painting the Bloodletter swords as if the blades are made of fire so as to add another colour to the scheme.  Anyone any thoughts on this?
