I saw an article on BoLS talking about the Daemon engines and looked further into it and found there are some for Tzeentch and a single one for Slaanesh that they only ever produced for Epic 40K. Any chance they might decides to make them for current 40K or are those likely to be as profitable as the Khorne or Nurgle engines ?

I sure hope so. The Thousand Sons are stuck using the vanilla daemon engines whereas Death Guard have a few unique daemon engines available to them.

That being said, I don't think most of the "known" daemon engines are ever going to be featured, many of them are just random and obscure one-off mentions in black library novels. The design studio is more likely to just make up something wholly new.

I’d really like the full size version of the Slaanesh Subjugator

**Voss**

The Epic ones would have to be re-imagined a great deal.
There were some very comical designs going on at the time.

In many ways it would be better to start from scratch. And if I remember right, the Slaanesh ones were Knight-equivalents.
Hell Knight, Questor, Subjugator, Hell Scourge and Hellstrider, on 25mm bases.

Tzeentch ones were mostly flyers (one was quite big)

Khorne had several artillery pieces which would be nice to have back.

I think GW still owns the rights to the fluff from Black Crusade; there were some Tzeentchian demon engines in there that were pretty sweet. The Mirrorfiend was a giant mecha-beetle with a Lord of Change shoved inside of it, the size of a light tank.

**Tygre**

From what I can remember...

Tzeentch had the Doom Wing, Fire Lord, and Silver Towers.

Khorne had Cannons of Khorne, Brass Scorpions, Doom Blaster, Blood Reaper, Tower of Skulls, Cauldron of Blood, Death Dealer, Lord of Battle. The Lord of Battle and the Death Dealer was basically https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Chaos-Space-Marines-Khorne-Lord-of-Skulls

Nurgle had Contagions and Plague Towers.

Slaanesh was the Knights Voss mentioned.

**Dysartes**

Forge World has already produced the Greater Brass Scorpion, Kytan and Blood Slaughterer (with weapon variant) for Khorne, and a Greater Blight Drone for Nurgle.

A modern interpretation of the Doomwing and Fire Lord could be interesting, though I wonder if the Silver Tower would end up being too large to be practical - or a Fortification for the Thousand Sons.

I would've liked to have seen some of the Slaaneshi Knights by now in the CK book, but there you go.

Don't forget the humble stalk tank.

I don't think the stalk tank was a daemon engine. But a manned vehicle.

was both, kinda, there's other hybrid daemonengines, like the xana II lineage.

Grotsnik had that idea a while back. Make the Silver Tower - or a mini-Silver Tower - the 1KSons fortification. It could hover around, teleport all over the place, and generally be very annoying.

Wouldn't that just be Hellturkey painted blue, though? Looks similar enough...

Modern Silver Towers are the size of starships, so yeah, a bit big for 40K.

Something tells me the Changer of Ways could also be the Changer of Sizes - or, in other words, that there may be Silver Towers of many sizes, for many purposes.

The larger the Tower, the more the Sorcerer is compensating for something, perhaps?
