I'd kind of wanted to assemble all the miniatures for all the faction and then take pictures so it would be clear finished/painted versus still-to-do/unpainted, but there was no way I'd be able to assemble ALL of the unassembled miniatures for this faction and be able to post it this month... or maybe even next month... or this QUARTER!? There is a LOT to DO!
This is what I have and what I still need to do for my Slaves to Darkness force as of the beginning of January 2025...
Painted
These are all the Slaves to Darkness that I have finished!

A little heavy on Monsters and Heroes at the moment... but, as it turns out, if I finish off ONE of the Darkoath Fellriders, I'll have a playable force of EXACTLY 1000 points ready for Path to Glory...
Still to DO!
This is all the Slaves to Darkness I still have to do...
It's a lot...
Heroes
- Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Daemonic Steed (1) 150 - Any Slaves to Darkness (Anvil of Apotheosis)
- Darkoath Warqueen (1) 120 - 0-1 Oathsworn, 0-1 Monster, Any Darkoath
Units
- Chaos Knights (5) 250 - Warriors of Chaos, Cavalry
- Chaos Knights (5) 250 - Warriors of Chaos, Cavalry
- Darkoath Fellriders (5) 150 - Darkoath, Cavalry
- Darkoath Fellriders (5) 150 - Darkoath, Cavalry

- Corvus Cabal (9) 100 - Infantry
Endless Spells

Quite a LOT to do... I probably don't have to do it ALL right away...
I have that unit of the Corvus Cabal to do - originally a Warcry warband, they were a unit in Age of Sigmar in 3rd edition, but have been taken out of production and moved into Legends... there are only nine in the box... but I do have the bonus Darkoath Marauder from the Free Miniature of the Month... I thought perhaps I might just spread them out among the Darkoath Marauder units... and call them Marauders...?
When it's ALL DONE
All the stuff together. Clearly a lot MORE To Do than Done!!
When I am done, though, I should be able to field...

Perhaps I went a bit overboard with these...
Options! I just have a LOT of OPTIONS!!
I can take the Chaos Sorcerer Lord General's Regiment and the Darkoath Cavalry Regiment... and that's 1950 points right there! And it's (almost) entirely MOUNTED!! Only the Chaos Sorcerer Lord and Darkoath Wilderfiend won't be mounted... (Unless I'm just playing a Narrative Play game and using the Anvil of Apotheosis Chaos Sorcerer Lord on a Daemonic Mount! which would bring the total to 1970 points!!)
THE PLAN
The plan IS to work on these and the Soulblight Gravelords for the first part of the year.
The priorities in this force will be:
1) one unit of five Darkoath Fellriders - so I can have a 1000-point Path to Glory army... going to try and get that ready by the weekend!!
Chaos Sorcerer Lord General's Regiment
- Hero - Chaos Sorcerer Lord (1) 120 - 0-1 Ruinous Champion, 0-1 Monster, Any Warriors of Chaos
- Ruinous Champion - Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount (1) 160 - 0-1 Ruinous Champion, 0-1 Monster, Any Warriors of Chaos - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Ruinous Champion
Darkoath Cavalry Regiment
- Hero - Darkoath Chieftain on Warsteed (1) 130 - 0-1 Oathsworn, 0-1 Monster, Any Darkoath - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as an Oathsworn.
- Unit - Darkoath Fellriders (5) 150 - Darkoath, Cavalry
Monsterous Regiment
- Hero - Ogroid Myrmidon (1) 150 - Any Ogroid Theridons,Any Monster, Any Daemon - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Ruinous Champion.
- Unit - Fomoroid Crusher (1) 120 - Monster
- Unit - Mindstealer Sphiranx 1 170 - Monster
B) The Darkoath Warqueen, the Darkoath Savagers, and ten of the Darkoath Marauders - so I can have a Spearhead army to theoretically play with (in case anyone wanted to play Spearhead again!?)
iii) Get working on ALL THE CHAOS KNIGHTS, and ALL THE DARKOATH FELLRIDERS!!! for that massive all-cavalry horde!! MWA-HA-HA-Ha-Ha-ha-ha-haaaaaa.....!
STUFF TO GET!?
Is there really ANYTHING I could still possibly want to get for this force!?
Um...
I mean, maybe... at some point...
For now, I'm totally good! But maybe next year, or after I've gotten all (or at least MOST!) of the stuff I have painted, there are a few things I might consider picking up for fun...
The Centaurian Marshall looks really cool (and fits with the mounted theme of the force!)
Maybe the Chaos Beasts (Furies and Raptoyrx) they'd be fun for small encounters in the role-playing game or usefull in skirmish games...
There are a few other monsters that look fun; the Mutalith Vortex Beast or Slaughterbrute (same model kit, that can be built different ways!)
I'm not sure I care at all about Be'lakor, the Dark Master, first of the Daemon Princes... or Archaon, the Everchosen... or even the Varangard (despite the mounted theme to the force!)
Maybe a Daemon Prince... because that could be used in 40K as well!
Also, if I could track down a unit of the Unmade (another Warcry warband) I'd love some of those!
Side Note
I also have this assortment of old metal Chaos figures - in vasious stages of painting/repainting... Some will probably just be used in role-playing games... but I think it would be fun to work some of them into the battle game...
I could use the Sorcerer as is (or maybe rebase it to 40mm base (the current size for Chaos Sorcerers... but add some other elements because it will look like a tiny figure on a 40mm base all alone!)
The unit of Disciples of the Red Redemption (which I have pained purple...) I might rebase onto 28mm bases and just call them Darkoath Marauders!?
OTHER PLAN...!?
Of course... just after I initially posted this... I got thinking about things and realized there was ANOHER option to finish up a 1000 point force for the Path to Glory campaign!? THIS one makes use of the Anvil of Apotheosis Hero from the Claves to Darkness Battletome!?
Chaos Sorcerer Lord General's Regiment
- Hero - Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Daemonic Steed (1) 150 - Any Slaves to Darkness (Anvil of Apotheosis)
- Ruinous Champion - Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount (1) 160 - 0-1 Ruinous Champion, 0-1 Monster, Any Warriors of Chaos - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Ruinous Champion
- Unit Chaos Knights (5) 250 - Warriors of Chaos, Cavalry
Total: 560
Monstrous Regiment
- Hero - Ogroid Myrmidon (1) 150 - Any Ogroid Theridons, Any Monster, Any Daemon - This Hero can join an eligible regiment as a Ruinous Champion.
- Unit - Fomoroid Crusher (1) 120 - Monster
- Unit - Mindstealer Sphiranx 1 170 - Monster
Total: 440
Army Total: 1000
Advantages... only TWO regiments... not-so-much to paint... I get to use the actual Mounted Chaos Sorcerer Lord!
Disadvantages... not a lot of boots-on-the-ground to hold objectives...? (I guess it's really only four less hooves on the ground, as it removes the Darkoath Chieftan on Warsteed and five Darkoath Fellriders, and replaces them with five Chaos Knights... so one less model...)
So maybe this week I'll be assembling and painting five Chaos Knights!? (and finishing up the Mounted Chaos Sorcerer Lord!?
Oh... TECHNICALLY I may have to reorganize that...
While the Anvil of Apotheosis Sorcerer Lord does say ANY Slaves to Darkness... it does not specify that it can include a Ruinous Champion, like the regular Chaos Sorcerer Lord... so, if someone was being a stickler... I would have to organize it thusly...
