This popped up while I was eating my “khorne” flakes…..
** groan ** that was so bad it’s good … (thumbs up)
It is a bit “khorney” :p
Haven’t watched the video yet, but didn’t these used to be called Bloodletters?
The regular ‘daemon’ for Khorne was the Bloodletter yes. Bloodcrushers are their beasts they ride into battle.
Ah, that’ll teach me to comment before watching. Didn’t they used to ride Juggernauts?
The mounts are juggernauts, the unit is called blood crushers (blood letters on juggernauts), juggernaut riding chaos knights are called skullcrushers.
Bloodthirster – One who thirsts for blood
Bloodletter – One who lets blood
Bloodcrusher – One who, erm, crushes blood?
At some point GW got really lazy with their portmanteaus, and Bloodcrushers weren’t amongst the the first of these.
*were amongst the first
Thanks lads, love this series
AJ, you cannot summon daemons from the Daemon book and sac it for for Blood points, cos they don’t have blood for the blood god rule. That rules belongs to the KDK book
Forgive my ignorance as I’m not a 40k player but do these differ in anyway to the age of sigmar minis?
No they are the same, you can use them in both. There was a difference in base when it was still warhammer, then they has square bases.
Always love the series guys! It is the highlight of my Mondays. @NeedlesBucket: Yes, these models are utilized in both universes. An old argument was if you wanted to cheaply play both warhammer fantasy and warhammer 40k just get daemons.
Darn autocorrect… “needlesbeckett” my apologies
Lol, no prob. Are there a number of factions that exist in both systems?
I can’t recall any additional factions, but I have a very limited knowledge about old warhammer fantasy
All of the Chaos Daemons factions (Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch and Slaanesh Daemons) exist in both 40k and AoS.
It was just the Daemons following the 6e split of Chaos into Warriors, Beastmen, and Daemons. There were a few kits that you could only use in 40K, but everything in fantasy could be used in both systems. I used to run my fantasy Daemon army as a 40K army for the occasional game of that system.
@aj86 Reading heretical texts will do that to you. Just be careful that the inquisition doesn’t come knocking on your door.
is the skull cannon used in Warhammer/AOS or 40K @AJ86 @warzan
never been a fan of them, I crush them with my grey knights terminators back in 2012 😀
‘Blood For The Blood God’ now that sent a shiver down my spine. Not because I’m scared of Khorne but for the aural assault that was the flexi disc of the same name that came with an early copy of White Dwarf. I think it broke my record player and almost put the old lady next door into an early grave. Maybe Khorne would have approved.
