To put it simply, a homebrew Chaos Marines Warband, who is good at manufacturing and using Daemon Engines, not only uses Daemon Engines as tanks, but even their personnel heavy weapons are also a man portable Mini Daemon Engine.


Mainly for fluff and count as. The specific performance is not very different from that of ordinary heavy weapons (perhaps with slightly enhanced features such as Masterwork). A Mini Daemon Engine which count as Lascannon is still range48, S9AP2/S9AP-4.


In terms of modeling, what should the Man portable Mini Daemon Engine Heavy bolt/Mississippi Launcher/Plasma Cannon/Multimelta/Lascannon look like?

Just need some idea.

I did not set out to do that, I wanted a unit of rapier csm, but the dinobot guns happened to fit perfectly.
So might give an idea I suppose:

There are various mechanical dog based heavy weapon system models starting to come through.

For example

I’ve seen some other kicking about as well. Add the right weapons and should be fine.

That's a good idea!

A small dog-like/spider-like/serpent-like/scorpion-like Daemon Engine,follow its master and carry heavy weapons for him, free its master's hands, reduce his weight burden, and carry more ammunition.

Definitely a fun concept! Think it’d look really cool.

Something that came to mind for me was the old grot oiler model:



Something similar might be fun - easy to imagine a flamer or melta weapon that uses some fire-spitting demon as its source.

Key materials, I think, are needed:


The main difficulty is the arm. The reconstruction of this part is risky. You must cut a part from the CSM heavy weapon.

Then the weapon itself must emphasize the characteristics of Daemon engine, such as the organic part,a cyber-aug/modified daemon-head.

The conversion of backpack may be slightly simple, and the characteristics of Daemon engine still need be emphasized.

In short, main problem is where do you need to get organic and daemonic bits(especially,head bits). This means that you may need to buy some daemon kits that you are not interested in for this purpose.



a Daemon engine-equivalent of missile launcher,Maybe it will be a daemon device that will launch a small daemon that is half organic and half mechanical as a missile.it may have addition rule of "ignore cover".

a Daemon engine-equivalent of Heavy bolter,may be a cyber-modified hedgehog-like daemon that can continuously generate and spit a lot of spikes made of infernal steel.it may more like a tyranid symbio-weaon but with more mechanic parts,and statics of Range 36,Heavy3 S5AP4 and Shreding.

and for Lascannon,it will be some really cool daemon stuff.may have the "Lance" or "blind" rule.
