We’re days away from roaring into May for a new leg of this year’s Armies on Parade extravaganza, and you’ve been making some incredible progress on your Battlefield Behemoths. Before we get into next month’s theme, let’s have a look at some of the amazing work the Warhammer community has been doing in March and April.
Nothing screams ‘Battlefield Behemoths’ quite like a big quadrapedal construct with spikes for legs and a gun for a face – this Canoptek Doomstalker is giving us chills.
Speaking of chills, let’s go from the far future to the Mortal Realms. This creepy and cadaverous kitbash is sure to inspire the Soulblight Gravelords to success on the battlefield – you can see even more of this haunting host featured in White Dwarf 475.
Meanwhile, @cetrahead has done an absolutely staggering job on this towering Imperial Fists Leviathan Pattern Siege Dreadnought, and its even bigger companion, the Mastodon Heavy Assault Transport.
And rounding out this particular collection of highlights is a positively poisonous Venomcrawler. That’s a creepy crawly you don’t want to find trying to escape your bath tub…
With all of these awesome creations, there was only one way to make things even grander – invoke the divine.
Mighty monsters aren’t enough – we want to see your Gods of War take to the field, be they storied legends or literal deities. Marshal the defenders of Excelsis with Morathi-Khaine and Lord Kroak against the almighty Kragnos, or pit Aeldari against Imperial as the Living Saint Celestine faces the molten Avatar of Khaine.
So what exactly counts as a God of War? Aside from the obvious godly* figures that stalk the far future and Mortal Realms alike, your most legendary characters – and their favoured followers – can also get their time in the spotlight.
The mightiest warlords of Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar often exhibit divine blessings, or approach the realm of godhood themselves – perhaps a Primarch like Sanguinius is leading a host of his Blood Angels from the Horus Heresy’s darkest days, or a Celestant-Prime guides their Stormcast retinue while shining with the light of Sigmar himself?
As long as they look absolutely majestic on the battlefield, and are capable of feats worthy of prayer, they’re fair game. And if you’re already well on the road to giving your army a touch of the divine, you can get cracking with a sneak peek of the next theme: Wizards and War Machines.
Make sure to show us your Gods of War progress on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter with the hashtag #ArmiesOnParade2022 – you may even end up featuring on Warhammer-Community.com yourself!
* And demi-godly, semi-godly, pseudo-godly… there’s a lot of options.
