Fantasy Beast Herd as Lesser Daemons?

[SteveBerenyi]

is this a good idea as you get 20 for $35?

or is GW going to release lesser daemons?

I have seen these before, specificly Beastmen used for Khorne Deamons. They looked AMAZING!!!

I think in the deamon release there will be lessers in it but it is also a great way to vary your army!

I've been using Beasties as Bloodletters for a few years now. Yeah, 20 figs for $35 is so much better than 10 figs for $40 for the old BL. I may pick up some of the new plastic 'letters, @ 10 for $22, that's just a bit more that the beastmen. But, the beast have served me well, in a "Counts as" sort of way.

As for GW releasing lesser daemons, I kinda doubt it, or they would have released them last September when the army came out. They want us to keep buying the metal Daemons at $4 a pop.

ok, i appreciate that. now to buy 3 beast herd boxes....... yay.

I thought the NEW plastic letters WERE for the deamons army.....I am probly wrong though....

[SteveBerenyi]

we are talking LESSER DAEMONS (generics for CSM codex)

[munkey joe paints]

Man I really need to sit down and read that darn thing again.....of course i do confuse easy......

So Blood Letters are no longer lesser deamons? Or just not GENERIC lesser deamons as per codex CSM?

[God_Grinder]

yeah steve i dont see why that wouldnt work. gors would make cool generic deamons. though the ungors would seem to small IMO.

Hey Steve, great ideal. I need some Lesser Daemons myself, and I really want to convert a Balrog into a Greater Daemon.

[SteveBerenyi]

i'm thinking either a shaggoth or a doombull for my greater daemon as the GD (generic) dont have wings and can not fly those would be better models for it.

but a balrog, that model screams Bloodthirster to me.

there was a WD article a couple of years ago using the plaggy Beast Herd models as Furies - i shall try and figure out which one, but it may not correspond with yours as mine would be UK.

when i eventually get around to it, i am going to use the Be'Lakor model for my Greater Daemon - since he is smaller than the God Specific models, that would fit in with his lesser profile, and instead of wings i was thinking of something like the lictor's scythes in their place

[Dan296]

this is not a bad idea, though i wouldnt give them spears, just hand weapons...

[Rhaalidor]

The Bloodletters will work, but not as Bloodletters. The Beasties should work as lesser Daemons, because they are lesser than a Bloodletter, but still have the look about them. As for a greater Daemon, I've been using Belakor to some extent, but a Bloodthirster, or any other greater daemon should foot the bill fairly well. You're looking for a non-flying daemon, so any should fill in, until GW decides to make one, or tell us that the BT is OK.
