Hi all!

So, I love the rules for the bloodcrushers of Khorne, in the chaos daemons army. I also love the bloodletters model's. But what I trully cannot stand, is the chunky lookin' bloodcrushers. I can understand why people like them, but I personally, really don't like the look.

So, I thought to myself. "Heck, I don't play fantasy, I have bloodletters, I have spare bikes...why not make bikeletters?

I love the idea of these flaming, crazed bloodletter bikers coming screaming out of the warp on chaosbikes. But I gotta know if it's a good idea, if I would not be allowed to use them, or if people think it's just plain stupid.

My only other option, is to take the chaos horse-riding warriors from the fantasy line, and paint them up and greenstuff them a bit to make them rather demonic looking.

So...thoughts?

PS, either option I take, they will be mounted on the correct bloodcrusher bases.

As long as they are on the right sized base, have roughly the same size for cover/LOS purposes, and are clearly identifiable as what they are supposed to be, I don't think anyone is going to give you much of a problem.

Sounds cool to me, post some pics when you are done.

Sounds awesome, like hells angels?
I too hope you post pictures of the finished minis.

Mount them on the correct bases, and rock on! I think these would look awesome.

Well, the problem is bloodcrushers are slow right? At least until a new daemon codex is released, they move they infantry.
Why not make one or two models and use them as a khorne lord on a Jugg until then.

The lord would get the exceptional stats, and also have the ability to move 12" like a bike should. Give one the "Axe of Fury" to really have that bikeletter kick ass.

I like it..

I wouldn't worry too much about it if you find you need bigger bases or the models end up bigger. Most of the time, especially with models that don't shoot, having a bigger model or base will be a disadvantage for you so it is much easier to let slide via "the Rule of Cool."

This would be an ok Counts As. Its not like there could be much confusion as to what they are.

Green stuff some leather jackets and have the bikes on fire and it will be glorious.

Edit: also imagine the awesome donuts and wheelies they can do on the appropriate round bases.

I was gonna greenstuff some sleeveless jacket's on them, and make them "Khorne's angels"

And as for the moving slow like infantry thing, that's easy to remedy with a bit of custom fluff.

"The peculiar daemon's of the Khorne's angels, are as unpredictable as they are deadly, and despite their swift "Steed's", often get caught up in the midst of battle by clashing against each other, or trying to prove their fearlessness by performing death-defying stunt's."

I would of said they are to busy pulling of awesome bike tricks to move quickly which also explains the 5+ invul other than that they are daemons.
