The Army Of The Golden Daemon
Some Of The Inspiration
As I have said in the project description, this all came about when I was joking about making a straightforward Khorne Daemon army for Warhammer 40,000. I joked that I could paint them up to match the colour scheme of the Golden Daemon from Warhammer with the bright yellow skin. The named Bloodletter hero, Skulltaker, even carries the Slayer Sword.
So, I went looking for some artwork…
As you can see, the skin is very yellow and so the colour of choice for this was the bright and poppy Iyanden Yellow from the Contrast range. I used this as the basis for the different miniatures in the army.
Additionally, the old Golden Daemon art shows the miniature with regular “bone” coloured horns. So, I wanted to use that here too.
The more modern artwork representing the Golden Daemon plays around with the scheme a little more and uses darker horns but I quite liked the ease of blending the off-white into the yellow.
With that in mind, it was time to get my hands on the Combat Patrol and get to work on it. It shouldn’t take that long to paint since Contrast is in play here and the Khorne Bloodletters are fairly simple miniatures too.
Additionally, this army has been designed for Warhammer 40,000 but it could also be used for Age Of Sigmar too. I could even use this to dive into Reign In Hell if I liked.
I also wanted to theme this specifically around the Daemons of Khorne. So, there are no miniatures coming to the extended collection from other Gods. No Tzeentch, Slaanesh or Nurgle here! Only the Blood/Paint God’s followers…
