Idea to boost the hellforged hunting pack with artillery support. Ordance tyrant allows the wyverns to be elites and to shoot into combat. Of course the daemon engines are immune.

The purge has compulsory elites, so no troop tax going on. It causes the blasts to remain as dangerous terrain.. which sounds cool but might end up doing more damage to the daemonengines than its worth.

The daemon engines can also rack up blood points, so summon some bloodletters to hold objectives and stuff.

Im sure there's room for improvement with this idea

That is an unbelievably good idea! Stops tarpitting dead! Enough units to be dealing with MSU as well.

Well you might actually have the models to pull this off...

As it is I'm falling quite far short.. it's been an inspiration of mine to buy/build a brass scorpion for... What 10 years now. Never got around to it

Lol i definitely don't have the models to pull it off. Until I got the GBS on ebay and started collecting renegades, the only chaos vehicles I had were 2 rhinos, a LR, 2 hellbrutes and various unpainted vehicles from my BA collection, such as a sicaran and vindis. I used to have a foot horde CSM army before that.
Defo get that GBS though - it is so much fun to use!

Here's a slightly less OTT version without a scorpion
