Rough Ridin’ with Daemons
Been a bit busy breaking in my new laptop. I did some research on Epic strategy with Lost and the Damned, and most lists contain traitor Rough Riders. Was going to just bu regular Guard Rough Riders when I realized I had a bunch of Daemonic Cavalry from the old Chaos sprue. So, I sawed the Chaos Space Marines off and replaced them with Beastmen to fit in with the rest of the army and be more fluff-worthy. After all, Rough Riders are not as good as Space Marines! Here’s three formations, dedicated to Khorne, Slaanesh, and Tzeentch. Nurgle didn’t have old cavalry. Oh well, I got more where this came from if I need it.
So far, my Lost and the Damned contains:
-Four formations of Cultists, with Demagogues (Dark Wanderer, see previous Epic post)
-Four formations of Mutants, with Demagogues
-Four Stands of Chaos Space Marine Aspiring Champions (to swap out)
-24 Land Transporters (third party, from Brigade Models, will add chains, spikes, etc.)
-12 stands of all 5 types of Lesser Daemon
-One of each Greater Daemon
-8 stands of “Big Mutants” (Old Chaos Minotaurs and Trolls with Gothic Imperial Masts that look like laser pistols in their hands)
-36 square bases with the old shield-and-axe Beastmen that count as Plague Zombies (dedicated to Khorne)
-3 Hydras (to be chaosed-out)
-Two Lords of Battles
-Three Khorne Doom Blasters and One Khorne Deathdealer
-One Slaaneshi Questor scout titan
-Four Slaaneshi knight titans
-Four Imperial Guard Bombards, modded into Nurgle Plague Engines (in progress)
-2 formations of 4 Defilers from Otterman (looks just like the 40K defiler!)
-4 old Cannons of Khorne (counts as Undivided Hellfire Cannons)
Now all I need is some Tzeentch flyers and Silver Towers, possibly scratch built as regular ones are rare.
Edit: DERP! Rough Rider formations contain SIX STANDS NOT FOUR! I’ll get the other stands done in a bit.
