An absolutely HUGE parcel was dropped off today
YOINKS!
Kind of dwarfed the box contained within!
Disciples of Tzeentch: Warpflame Cavalcade
This box includes:
- 1x Kairos Fateweaver
- 3x Screamers of Tzeentch
- 3x Flamers of Tzeentch
- 1x Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch
- 1x Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot
- 10x Pink Horrors
- 10x Blue Horrors
- 10x Brimstone Horrors
The Kairos Fateweather model could also be built as a generic Lord of Change (Greater Daemon of Tzeentch) - instead of the named character. Also the Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch and Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot could alternatively be built as a Changecaster and a Burning Chariot of Tzeentch.
I think I'll stick with the Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch and Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot.. But I'm really torn about whether to build Kairos Fateweather or a Generic Lord of Change... The named character greater daemons (Kairos Fateweather, Skarbrand, Rotigus, Shalaxi Hellbane) are alway better than the generic ones. I've seen them referred to as "Auto-Include" in discussions of army building... Now.. I don't care at all about matched play, or competitive gaming. I like narrative play and making up stories about my OWN heroes (or, anti-heroes) carving out their own destinies by their sword (or... spells?).. but the people I do play against (other than Amanda) DO build competitive armies and there's always a nagging feeling in the back of my brain that I am hampering myself and dooming myself to always lose by not making the "competitive" choice...
Also... the Kairos Fateweather version of the model looks pretty cool - with TWO heads!
But also... I don't CARE about Kairos Fateweather, that giant battle chicken's story has already been told...
I can think on it a bit, I have LOTS of other stuff to build and paint.
I think I'll start with the Fateskimmer, Herald of Tzeentch on Burning Chariot.. partly because it's a cool model and partly because I picked up White Dwarf #518 recently, and there are chariot racing rules for Age of Sigmar in there!!
I'll probably simultaneously put together all the Horrors... just because they look fun and they'll be super easy to paint and that will bring me close to being back in the black quicker (at least for the 28mm Foot)!
This puts me at...
2026 PAINTED
- 28mm Foot: 43
- 28mm Mounted/Beasties: 2
2026 PURCHASED/ACQUIRED
- 28mm Foot: 65
- 28mm Mounted/Beasties: 9
- 28mm Vehicles/Monsters: 2
- 28mm Larger Terrain bits: 2
I doubt there will be any other purchases in the near future... so it shouldn't be too hard to catch up and start chipping away at the Pile of Opportunity!
(I guess there are the Endless Spells for the Disciples of Tzeentch... but I won't worry about those until I actually have enough of these painted to actually PLAY a game!)
