Building a Better Box
I have had some time to get more painting in (so weird seeing my Daemons with color on them, after all the countless games of primer black daemons). Now I just need a better way to take pictures. I have been looking into photo boots and how people take pictures of thier minatures and have learned several tactics that I hope to employee like the photo booth, no direct lighting and turn the flash off. Hope to have some new pics up soon.

Fatecrushers!
Not satisfied with standard crushers for my Tzeentch Daemon themed army I worked on the model some and I am rather pleased with the results.
***Enter the Fatecrushers*** (yes I know the name is used for a Fateweaver crusher list but it just has such a nice ring for the unit)
I took a note from our Chaos Space marine allies and did a blending of a khorne champ riding a juggernaught and gave it a Tzeentch feel. It still bears the Crusher body shaved off any obvious khorne markings, removed the bull head which was replaced with a giant eye of tzeentch. For the rider I wanted to visually carry over the 3+ armor save thier rule set gives them, so I mounted a thousand son marine on top. Now in an effort to make sure i still remained a "daemon" army and not some hybrid blend I didn't do just a regular rubric marine but instead did a possessed 1k son (seeing as thier own rule set marks them as daemonkin) on top. An to bear the apperance of a power weapon/hellblade I gave his arm the mutation that looks like an old powerfist with a blade cracking through giving the blade a turquiose coloring of power. Like I said all in all I am pleased with the model.
