Is the blood slaughterer more than just a knornate defiler (that was what I understood they were)? If so, a defiler with a character upgrade (if that's allowed , I don't know the chaos list very well) would represent it pretty well (same as SM venerable dreads can be approximated as dreads with char upgrade).

As for the blight drones, I'm not sure how well they fit into the list (like I said, I'm not very familiar with the chaos lists), but I figure they'd be along the same lines as a SM land speeder. Also, they would be fairly easy to 3D model. That is, assuming people accepted that it isn't worth the trouble of getting an exactly scaled version. The good thing about curved but non-organic parts is that their are lots of ways to generate nearly the same shape, and alot can be achieved using fillets.

Those deamons list/rules will be in Imperial armour 8 (or 7?),  "The siege of Vracks part III".

The Blood Slaughterer is barely bigger than a Dreadnought.

(I'm still confused as to why people think that's 'not khornate')

No skulls, no head, round, no chaos thingy, dark eldar little thin weapons on tail?

It's as khornate as an eldar anti grav tank could be.
And a scorpion has 8 legs, not 6.

Same thoughts on the blood slaughterer. He's a bit funny but still better than the scorpion and waaaayyy better than the V1 one: http://yrcm.free.fr/figurin....don.JPG

Holy cow, I'd forgotten about that horrible thing.

On a related note, have there been any more recent pics of the FW Lord of Change in the past few months?

But.....but I LIKE the old one  :_(  :_(  :_(

It's Khorne-meets-VSF to me :)

I read this post by Yakface on DakkaDakka, and he seems to have given the right words to how I feel about Chaos designs:

"I love, love, love that the Forgeworld guys seem to 'get' that Chaos needs a separate aesthetic besides 'Imperial vehicles with spikes on them'. Yes the Defiler was a nice start, but that was released along with the 4TH EDITION codex.

I understand that Chaos Legions are a vital part of the Chaos mythos but they really need to develop the 'idea' of the Chaos army beyond the CSM legions and Daemons. And I'm not talking about just adding a LatD army list to the game.

IMHO, a "Chaos" codex should allow players to field a full (mortal) army of Chaos. Yes, you should be able to play a purely CSM army if you want, but these guys should really be few and far between in the galaxy, even less than regular SMs as they don't have enough new recruits (or the tech) to replenish their losses (even including new SM elements that go renegade). The 'typical' Chaos army should include a few CSMs that are super bad-ass (as they've lived for thousands of years and are powered by Chaos as well) flanked by crazy cultists and mutants and backed up obscenely cool Daemon engines like those Forgeworld is finally putting out.

Yeah, some CSM equipment from the Heresy should still be around (or those from SMs that have recently gone renegade), but again, they should be all ancient and extra-dangerous warpified versions of their SM counterparts' equipment. But MOST equipment from the Heresy should have either failed (or have been destroyed) by now or be so twisted that it is nearly unrecognizable as to what it originally was. In the 10,000 years since the Heresy, Chaos forges have been building all sorts of crazy Daemon engines so why aren't these things more common on the battlefield when compared with old-ass Land Raiders/Rhinos/Predators that still look exactly the same as they always have except with spikes on them?

I can only hope and pray that when GW gets around to doing more Chaos codices they continue on with their trend of stealing Forgeworld designs and we start to get some truly 'Chaotic' looking vehicles in the Chaos army. It will be so great to see Chaos armies that actually LOOK really different from standard SM armies.

So I say KUDOS to Forgeworld. I LOVE their Daemon engines!!! "
