been working at a CD list since just before the Tamurkhan list came out, however my primary reason for having a CD army is the 3rd Ed whirlwind and tenderizer models. Does anyone proxy these with the Tamurkhan list? I know I should just use a fan list but I’m just getting into Warhammer again after 15 years so need to have a modicum of acceptance in my gaming club before I really bring the whack on them, haven’t seen any fan lists there.
I’ve thought I could use them as K’daii fireborn with some canny basing (3 models as 6), they could fit this model, although the flaming attacks are a stretch. Any thoughts?
I’d go with the Skullcracker for the Tenderiser. It’s so clearly what the Warhammer Forge miniature is based on that it’d be a fool that wouldn’t let you use if as such.
An other solution would be to use them as a Warriors of chaos Gorebeast Chariot on a chariot base. I can easily imagine these machine givings killing blows.
So yeah it is not in a tamurkhan dwarf only list, but could be easily used in a great host list, or even in an army based on two allied detachment.
Im using my as an iron deamon - it’s down right perfect og suits the oldschool chaos dwarf army perfect instead of buying an large modern model from FW
Bear in mind that the Whirlwind and Tenderiser models are significantly smaller than the Skullcracker and since it doesn’t have a base, you really should use something that’s about the right size.
Again, a Skullcracker doesn’t actually have a base. And, because of true line of sight, it ought to be reasonably similar in size. There’s a pretty significant differential.
The Skullcracker isn’t really intended to “be” a modernised Whirlwind/Tenderiser (like how the Dreadquake is an updated Earthshaker), it’s more that it uses some similar-looking components as a bit of a throwback to the 3rd Edition designs. Comparing a 7-Wound steam engine to a contraption pushed by a little boar centaur is probably a bit of a stretch!
Dont disagree on the scale thing its more to the point that if your going to use it as as such go with a full on 3rd edition retro army but the new list.
I wouldn’t complain about using it as an Iron daemon with the Skullcracker option, as long as you made it clear when you presented the army. In a hardcore tournament, TLoS could be a problem, although as long as you’re lot being a douche and abuse the fact that it’s smaller than the original model to some great tactical extent, I’d personally never complain.
I use a greenstuff/plasticard replica of the 3rd Ed Juggernaut as my Iron Daemon as my Iron Daemon ans so far, all the comments I got have been positive.
