Daemons of Chaos Units - On whom do you bestow the most favour?

Grom_the_Paunch#8146

Hello everyone. I have decided to take a break from meticulously counting the cocktail sticks I have left and rearranging the spoons in the kitchen. Why? Because I have a question on my mind.

I looked deep into the warped reflection of my own face in a dessert spoon and had a thought. I don't get them often, so brace yourselves... I think I know my favourite daemon unit. I have made a decision. It got me thinking. What would everyone else pick if the question were asked?

I searched for a thread on this and couldn't find anything that quite fit. Has @DarkLordD really not done this yet? So here's a new discussion.

What daemon unit is your favourite and why? Are you most excited to see them in TW: Warhammer 3, or do you think another daemon unit might somehow steal the show?

Some ground rules... No specific characters. Just generic daemons or something you expect in their roster. Potential single entities rather than units are ok if you are simply a greater daemon fan or something. Don't mention the "Great Monogod Debate of 2018". We have only just stabilised the rift since the last one.

What is my favourite? I like Khorne dogs the most...



No! Not those...! Well... I do like those, but I was talking about Flesh Hounds of Khorne. I am a massive fan of doggos in general and what could be better than scaly wolf-like daemons shredding the place up like wrapping paper on Christmas day?





I worry they could turn out to be a little generic with all these other doggos skittering about, but Flesh Hounds are still the dogs... The best of the lot, surely. A lovely vibrant shade of red will make them extra fast too. I know how colours work. Trust me.

Flesh Hounds did get a Chaosbane show off if your looking for something recent.

Great unclean one. Cos he big, fat, disesed and he can hag any one and gaving his love to any one.

Daemon Princes .... (Valkia, Azazel, Belakor, Uzhul the Skulltaker and so on)

screw your no specific character
as for units: chimera, bloodletters, skull cannon, soul grinders and fiends of chaos...

RikRiorik#9890

Give me Pink Horrors any day of the week. Apart from the Blue Scribes and Lords of Change they are my favourite Daemons.

Keeper of Secrets


Just look at that gorgeous creature!!
(I bought that model for TT and I don't even play Chaos)

Runner ups would be purely for utility reasons (1 for each god): Juggernaughts of Khorne, Beasts of Nurgle, Exalted Chariots of Slaanesh and Flamers of Tzeentch.

P.S. that Keeper of Secrets model is massive... it's like 10" tall or something rediculous.

Lords of Change...

with screamers as a close runner-up!

Nyxilis#3646

Pretty much what Michael said there. Ran Tzeentch based armies, sometimes Slaanesh but I always loved the birds or the manta rays.

Beast_of_Guanyin#8747

Juggernauts. The whole Demon bull made from metal is cool. It's also used as a mount by a lot of units.

Flamers! Let's hope CA will make flamethrower units viable at least in Game 3.

Pocman#6295

Pink and blue horrors:


Glam metal ain't dead, bit ch!

Timpeyo#7210

Horrors for me, really interested in seeing these guys, there forms always changing and warping, splitting in two and ripping themselves apart. A truly chaotic creature. I'd love some really horrible freaky bizzare sounds to come from these guys





daemonettes on steeds of slaanesh are my second choice tho I hope they keep the look close to these

I was very impressed with that model too. I've only seen the pictures, but it could lure me back into painting again, no doubt. Much better than the standard lumpy-head GW miniatures, in my opinion.

A Keeper of Secrets should make us feel inadequate, naughty and deeply disturbed all at once. That model gets closer than any other, surely.

I think this is the most badass chariot I have ever seen.

Haha! Breaking my rules in a way you know I can't complain about, then dropping a Glottkin bombshell. Nonetheless, a Great Unclean One fits the bill, so technically you followed the rules with a wee sideshow. Top marks.

Like, whoah! Totally. I've not seen that one before. Looks sweet!

Just put in all the deamons CA. For Warhammer 3 I hope the theme will be Chaos.

The Seeker Chariot of Slaanesh is a nice model. I do kind of hope Creative Assembly can include some of the models that have been coming out for Daemons in Age of Sigmar. Slaanesh has been getting some neat new models for Fiends, Seekers and a musician playing a harp strung with the tendons of a living person.
There's also a lot of nice models for Nurgle and Tzeentch. Though I do prefer the older pink horrors, specifically those ones with the blue horrors climbing out of the mouths of the pink ones.

My favorite daemon though has to be the Juggernaught. Having a unit of those, or being able to mount a lord on one, is something I've hoped for since Warhammer Online.

Those tzaangors, i like the birdstyle, a lesser more common variant of the Lords of change.

Yeah that chariot is badass. And if you put a Herald of Slaanesh on one of those you could make them pretty amazing.

Every time Papa Nurgle blows his nose the snots turn into the next generation of Nurglings.

Canuovea#6291

I kinda like the birdmen from Age of Sigmar.

What?

My favorite thing about daemons of chaos isn’t the army itself, but the marks & rules they give to other chaos armies.
Specifically Beastmen of Slaanesh: the Slaangors!
(Dragon Ogres in Beastmen when? Slaanesh Shaggoths now!)
