40K Khorne World Eaters Daemon Engines

         I could not even begin to tell you what half of these things are. More so exactly what they are meant to be. Some where between Ork, Medieval, Dwarf, & Steam Punk technology, and some thing to put more skulls on.
        30 years later GW shits something that is a properly developed idea and is little scary. A dark mech blending of flesh, tech, and warp to create a monstrous insane killing thing. With no God Dam Skulls! I am printing up a bunch of these beasts. Then failure.


Blood Reaper. 
     Another GW concept born from heavy drug use. Either the drugs were use in the design or both in the design and approval process. A cross between steam punk and heavy metal. It is not terrifying. I can't even say what it is meant to be. It is cover in skulls.
     Once again it appears to be powered be a steam boiler. It has wooden wheels again. Or solid metal wheels. They are too small and narrow to support the weight. The massive exhaust stacks are for burning wood? The piston driven arms are to articulate or absorb the recoil from the weapon, and external hoses. Its terrible! What else can you say?
         I got a set of 6 from the primarch load sale. List as pro painted, not so much. Nor did they match. I took the best looking one and repainted them all to match.

Lord of Battle
        Yet again a lost design concept. An ancient Bull God propelled by a track system which is pushing giant scrap metal wheels. There are motorcycle type exhaust pipes one top of the track system, but nothing or no combustable engine. It is an Ork or Dwarf steam punk design feature. The weapons are piston recoil controlled? Massive non-collapsable hoses every where. There are giant hydraulic pistons in back that do what exactly? Nothing representing of flesh and metal infused with a demon. And there are skulls every where.
        Another Primarch load sale item. Each where 50% less than eBay prices. So a two for 1 deal, sort of. I painted them to match the Blood Reapers. The bases will all get done at the same time. I won't be copying the original Blood Reaper bases.

        Forge World originals. I had only 5 for some reason. The come in packs of 3. One has to be lost somewhere. I got another FW single from the Primarch load sale. Then quickly lost that one. Dumb, dumber, and taking pills to be more extra dummy.
        There is a lot going on with these fighters. Overly detailed. I tried to slick it down some.
