Warhammer 40,000: Renegade Armiger Moonshadow

After my 500-point battle at Red Rocket against the relentless space wizard fuckery of the Grey Knights, I wanted some space wizards of my own.

The ninth edition Chaos Knights codex lets you make one Knight in your army a Tzeentch psyker. So I want a psyker-Armiger, and I also want to build a sort of mini-Abominant model for it.

I started with a tail, following the example of my Knight Rampager, also from the Abominant's electroscourge, and also had one of the birds perch on the meltagun.

The carapace weapon is very easy to magnetize, so I did.

To my delight, I found that the slot in the arm weapons where they would ordinarily pivot on their mount is exactly the size of a Primal Horizon 1/4" × 1/16" magnet.

So this was a very easy magnetizing job, and now worth doing since the new Armiger box comes with both sets of weapons. I did the same on the mounts as I had on the big Knights: chop off the whole tab and stick a magnet on.

Then I forgot to take more pictures, so here's the finished model.

She is Renegade Armiger Moonshadow.

I'm quite happy with how the Abominant bits worked!

That was a fun model to build and I'm happy with the result. I don't think 10th edition has psyker Armigers, at least for the moment, but based on what Goonhammer is saying about Chaos Knights, they sound fun.

I think I'll be spending most of this year at a very different scale, though!
