No Tech Is Safe From The Lord Discordant In Warhammer 40,000
March 14, 2019 by dracs
Games Workshop have previewed another HQ choice that will soon be coming out to lead the forces of Chaos Space Marines. A master of daemon engine technology, The Lord Discordant.
Look at this thing! It's like the GW design team asked themselves, "Can we make a a Chaos Lord more metal?" and then answered "Yes. Yes, we can!"
The Lord Discordant is akin to a Warpsmith with the dial turned up to eleven. They lead the charge from atop their daemon engines, dealing out damage with their chainglaives and mechadendrites. however, that alone isn't what makes them so dangerous.
That comes from their Aura of Discord, disrupting enemy vehicles while bolstering your own daemon engines. This makes them the obvious leader choice for any force filled with those twisted works of malignant machinery.
I will admit, I have never been more tempted to turn to Chaos then I have been seeing this. The daemon engines have always been the most interesting part of a Chaos force for me, so the idea of getting an army focused around them really appeals.
Would you set your army under the command of a Lord Discordant?
That is actually good looking model. I do like that he has those very Techpriest style robes. It’s nice touch.
This looks like a scorpion has someone stolen the pincers?
I was just thinking that. Would be easy enough to add some. I like it, but would swap out the rider for some desert themed thingee. Great figure, though.
Unfortunately, I’ve blown the budget on Ambots and Atalan Jackals, so this will have to wait… sigh.
What the heck ?
Kill it … kill it with fire.
creepy thing
This thing is screaming to be an iron warriors mecha centaur demon Prince…..
@dracs – come to the dark side, we have Lord Discordant riding atop helstalkers!
?
Will I be setting my army under the command of one? Unfortunately no, as I’m fairly sure Thousand Sons won’t get one (to be fair to the lesser Legions, having one be a Sorcerer Lord in addition to everything they’ve already got going on would be overkill ?).
Such a confusing model.
Looking at it I really dont know what the heck is going on. It s is chaos in a rather bad way.
And it will take forever to paint.
Not a fan.
Yep you beat me to it. Just when they had started to tone down the Chaos forces from the crazy over sculpting this guy pops up. It’s a really cool idea, the rider alone is a really well done mini and pulls they eye where it needs to go. . . but then you get to the beast its riding and the eye fights to stay focused on anything to do with the model.
Having seen this one and the new Abaddon, i think i’d pick Abaddon. I think they dialed it wayy too much (for my tastes anyway…).
I love this thing! They are finally getting away from just space marines with spikes and skulls. This looks fantastic, and I hope they continue to put so much thought into the future releases.
It’s silly…but I like it ?
Looks great! Bet it made @warzan weak at the knees! 😀
It is busy as hell but…I like it? I think? Not so sure I’d want to try painting it, but it would look pretty great at the head of the army.
Reminds me a lot of the Animatrix robot rider.
I like it apart from that pintle mounted gun stuck on the top. Did this guy have 10 points left over so picked a random extra weapon? It really disrupts the silhouette for me, takes away attention from the driver (rider? human??), and looks very mundane on an otherwise quite organic model (it’s a creature fundamentally, albeit made of metal).
In the illustration it is clear and easy to read, but the model itself is so busy it is not apparent what is what. A more differantiating paint job might help to tone down the busy-ness of this model.
How long until we see the Dark Mechanicum come to 40k?
