[Archive] Using a tenderiser as an Iron Daemon

macbeth:

I recently bought on e bay an old tenderiser, hoping that I could use it as an Iron Daemon with the skullcracker option.

Now that I have received the mini, I’ve realised that it seems a bit small for an ID.

Would you accept it as a playable ID, if based correctly on a 60*100 base?

Absolutely!

I have mine on a 50x100 chariot base. I guess that I need to rebase them then?

Ofc :)

Zanko:

Surely you can use the Tenderizer as an Iron Demon - I will do it in the same way! :wink:

If I remember correctly someone (Thommy H?!) mentioned that in the 8th edition the warmachines need no bases!

I’m I right?

Thommy H:

True, they don’t - but an Iron Daemon is actually Unique, and no base size is specified…

Bassman:

Go with the proper base, use the extra space to make something cool and to the next kid that will complain tell him that the model is older,more expensive and cooler than him :smiley:

Bolg:

Actually, if you have a tenderiser and a whrillwind together would be awesome as Iron demon (:

Great idea… now just to get my hands on a whirlwind d:

Borador:

Mine’s on a chariot base and I like him like that :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

But IMO the tenderiser could be used that way, yeah.

And far more beautiful too :p

I think too that a tenderiser would fit. But, we have to consider that generally, the size of the beast (and so its capability to be aimed at by shooters) is a part of its balance in points. Well, not always in forgewolrd models' case, but most of time, if something is strong, it is big too, so that it is easy to shoot at.

So, i am thinking of putting a tenderiser AND a whirlwind on a big base (such as arachnarok's). Allow me to play two old pieces, and help me feel right when the machine hurt badly my opponent's army...

In the same way, i will probably try to custom a siege tower in order to make a juggernaut. And maybe this piece will be played as an iron daemon...

But it is only my opinion :)

++ "too bad i don't have tenderiser nor whirlwind yet :'("

The Tenderiser would make a much better Skullcracker than a vanilla Iron Daemon.

The Tenderiser as Iron Daemon Skullcracker sounds like a cool idea.
I would mount it on a chariot base and make a bit of a scene on the base, perhaps raising it slightly on "rock" to elevate it a little for size comparison.
But overall sounds good. Look forward to pics :)

PS Im going to use a Dwarf Flame Cannon mounted on a 40K Ork Skorcha to represent the CD Magma Cannon (sitting on a chariot base).

There are so many possible conversion options out there to help you stand out from the FW sheep ;)

Bassman:

Yes, use the tenderiser as a Skullkracker and pimp it with something on the base. You are plenty of space for cool stuff! :smiley:
