The Oldworld Warhammer Army Challenge 2022

Here it is, my army to become in the next 6 months;

The chaotic demon horde of UmussLanj'Vin, the Lord of Change.

There is still assembling and paint stripping to go through, but I shall keep you guys up to date as it goes.

UmussLanj'Vin

1 x Lord of Change 

This Greather deamon was/shall be sommunded by Velok the recruter. His contribution to the falling of Praag did not go unnoticed, and Vin knows that to be a great opportunity to reach the mortal Realm. Having landed seeds in 3 regions of the Oldworld, he considered the first havest wood bare its fruits.

Happily giving no "armywise" points, the demon lord of a Chaotic army is free, because it considers it will face an army with an equivilent lord/demon army. 

Banners:

The army will include 2 magical banners. It is interesting to read the original descriptions from The Lost and the Damned. The banners, being demons themselves, have their very own lifes. Their abilities are also very potent, although it is hard for me to judge if they are cost effective. I decided to include them as individual figures since I plan to create the miniatures that would best suite their physical description and behaviors.

1 x Daemon Devourer

200 pts

This banner is said to contain the souls of lost creatures, snake-like necks arboring the heads of all sort of beings constantly emerging out of it and going back inside it. In close combat, it generates 10 attacks of strengh 7, which makes it a great monster hunter! As for the miniature, I picture a merge between an hydra and the lower body of an horror. I simply do not know if I will opt for a 25x25 human sized creature or push the envelope and make it a huge 50x50 based monster.  

1 x Weaving Watcher

100 pts

Again, this banner should be a living cloth weilded by an horror. The representation of the Eye of Tzeentch, attacking from a distance only by gazing to the ennemy.  I will make it a huge eye merged into an horror... and in the process try not to have it look like Bob Razowski from Monsters Inc.



The Thumbsuckers

A childish sight to whoever see them in a quick sight. A dreadful call to the past to others. 

Their suction cup shaped fingers are meanth to one purpose, drain your thoughts and use it against whoever may be facing them.

9 x Pink Horrors

9 x Blue Horrors

1260 pts

The Grabelings

The only thing their victims remenbers are their hands... The only thing the survivors remembers are, their hands.

9 x Pink Horrors

9 x Blue Horrors

1260 pts

Flaming Fongoids

9 x Flamers

1260 pts


Flaming beaks

9 x Flamers

1260 pts


And of course, the offering to the Overlord, a cute little alien monkey!
