Ive kinda got a back story going for the sorcerer, I used modelling clay to bulk him up and add alot of fleshy masses. I also stuck heads into him! I just finished reading Dark Apostle and they talk alot about the machine cult, and how they use brains to store data.

When you get that rolling I hope that you'll post a link back over here so I can see how wrong I am!<br /><br />For the Lord you might also consider giving him Gift of Chaos instead of Rot and make some techno-spawn to represent newly-infected victims. <br /><br />sonsoftaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466971377569066201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212131361856908484.post-68527979075875431922010-06-02T09:20:27.429-04:002010-06-02T09:20:27.429-04:00Oh and for armies not focusing around this they co...Oh and for armies not focusing around this they could be considered something along the lines of slaves or prized champions. The power of an obliterator is a rare thing so play that up. Maybe have the leader of your army somehow tied to the past of the obliterator so its indebted to it? I will agree that its almost impossible to tie obliterators into a strict form fitting army.

This does not mean they don't believe in them, they just haven't chosen a single diety to follow strictly. So Obliterators are more or less mercenaries for hire. Like it says in the codex they hire themselves out for weaponry and such. However I like to think that obliterators were once followersCoreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875464457240170643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212131361856908484.post-50051884151329293482010-05-06T14:15:51.164-04:002010-05-06T14:15:51.164-04:00So it's not just me?

A Chaos Generals best friends, but a hobbyists worst nightmare.<br />I am just painting my army and I have given up on trying to figure out why or how Obliterators would be in the warband.<br />I just decided that I would paint them to match the rest of my army, same base, same iconography and leave it at that.Grizzled Gorillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16715567863938779627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212131361856908484.post-17780790186979048362010-05-05T12:30:07.086-04:002010-05-05T12:30:07.086-04:00Having recently read 'A Thousand Sons', I ...Having recently read 'A Thousand Sons', I always try to imagine the Obliterators like them- powerful sorcerers suffering from a mutation gene.

I'd planned on implementing the Obliterators as, basically, IG-style Dark Angels weapons teams. One battle brother is dropping a Lascannon while another's handing him a Plasma Cannon. <br /><br />I'm not altogether sure how it'd have worked out, but the list overall would Rushputinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867389429325778387noreply@blogger.com
