My Path to Glory Army Lore

[@wargamerwilly8756]

Well this is crazy, I used the same genestealer model I believe as a slave to Darkness proxy hah I made it a Sorcerer Lord and used a skull with horns as a head

[@Jpipooly]

That is brilliant. Never would've thought to use Genestealers for that!

[@auroralee]

Me: Loves Blanchitsu Also Me: Refuses to paint anything unless I can include *at least* three different shades of blues and greens on the model 😆

[@jannebengtsson7338]

Oh my God. This has totally flown under my radar. There are so much convertion/kitbash potential here that my mouth is watering. Even though you said you don't want to do that, there is still huge potential for proxy/switch from other races and factions. Heck I can see lots from other gamesystems too. The firs thing that comes to mind is Bloodbowl. There are so many models there that with just a minor conversion or even jsut with the right paint job would fit like it was made for it. There are also some from middle earth and even 40k that could easely fit in there. Lore/inspiration wise there is also, albeit maby obvious, the concept of "freekshows" which I actually think are the origin of the concept of circuses all together. Just a quick Google of "freak show" would give a plethora of magnificent ideas. I am looking forward, on the edge of my seat, for more updates of your army. Awesome as always my friend ❤️

Enjoyed your Path to Glory vids so far, I couldn’t see any more after this one about the progress of this army?

[@Mr.Milkfingers]

This is such a cool concept, as a newcomer to the Fantasy/Sigmar side of Warhammer, you've helped me catch up on the lore and really sold me on the Mortal Realms; I have multiple Chaos warbands in the works thanks to you dude. Semi-related lore question for homebrew: While I get that stormhosts are originally Azyr-based, some have set up shop in other realms, like the Anvils of Heldenhammer in Shyish, my question being if it's possible for them to establish a presence or forward base somewhere in the Eightpoints, or is that too corrupted/inhospitable?

[@Ortoreus]

Hey good soul, I’d check out “the wraith of the ever chosen” for how that goes

[@pile-o-nonsense3688]

God, I love the old art in the beginning!

[@Leviticushateford]

Great job Doug!

[@michaelfouse4102]

Those models look awesome!

[@Jpipooly]

When it comes to worshipping Nurgle, I think of my plastic surgeon's words. "If you gotta go, go with a smile!"

[@TheDestroyerOfHumans]

I have a List of what units you could bring and what they do in the circus. Nurglings = Endless Laughter = Once the Circus gets in full swing, Laughter can be heard throughout the City even if no one is present. Plaguebearers = Backstage Hands = Never the center of attention, they help build up the tents, shows or guide visiters around with a smile on their face Beasts of Nurgle = Fantastical Beast = Disguised as whatever, they are used to continue drawing in the croud Furies / Raptoryx = Companions of Joy = These *Dogs and *Birds follow visiters around trying to coax them to let down their guard and enjoy the circus Fomoroid Crusher = The Ox = An *Ogor hired to carry the largest peices of equipment Mindstealer Sphiranx = The Vision Maker = A fortune teller, those who enter the tent will leave with a blissfull smile on their face. Ogroid Myrmidon = Arthur Saxon - The Iron-Master = A strong man with an ego to share, they welcome any to challenge them in games of strength. Mutalith Vortex Beast / Slaughterbrute / Soul Grinder = The Main Attraction = Disguised as whatever, they are used to continue drawing in the croud. Endless spells = The Grand Finally = All can be used before the witching hour, Eightfold Doom-Sigil is the center peice, Darkfire Daemonrift shoots confetti around, Realmscourge Rupture is the fence to keep the visiters *safe. This would normally be easy for wizards to detect but since it would be minuits before the witching hour and the city is already being corrupted it's far too late to save themselves. If you like any of these ideas and use them, then may I request a named charicter. Doesn't have to be a hero or even in the army, however still the catalyst of what you bring if you go with one of my surgestions. "Davnos, Beast Tamer Extrondinar" This individual whom hails from Ghur, a Corvas Cabal Shadow piercer begins getting visions of the circus in their dreams, warped with visions of grandure and wealth leave their warband with his kin and begin hunting. 3 Months later the Corvas Cabal flock are seen on the horison walking to the encampment of Polteric Galla bringing with them the beast(s) and requesting to seek the Warlord. Ringmaster Autorian meets with Davnos as he explains about his visions and wants to help out the Circus, they would go out and find more creatures to bring back into the circus, and in exchange they would takes some tresure aquired throughout the circus to make offerings to the 'Great Gatherer'. A pack is formed. Davnos, Beast Tamer Extrondinar and his warband only known as 'The Menagerie' now work for the Circus bringing whatever is needed for the circus to thrive. They would work as both entertainers with their acrobatic skills, expert knife throwing tricks and beast tamers, but also the silent assasins within the circus killing those who seems to be lurking around where they shouldn't be.

[@SuperDuperHappyTime]

A Contorted Epitome named Barnum and Bailey. They wear suits and Top hats, and have “Such sights to show you.”

[@goggariS]

You could have a blightking unit called the Strongmen in reference to the Mordheim unit.

[@cameronh901]

This lore is big Cult of Rakdos vibes from MtG's Ravnica setting, but if Rakdos was Nurgle instead. Love it!

[@AceAllyn]

This army is beautiful in person!

[@vagabondbarbarian8961]

With that name for the warshrine, it should be converted to be on the back of a tundertusk. Love the army.

[@wargamerwilly8756]

Perhaps something garden and green thumb based? Gutbusters Garden of laughs. Double play on gutbusting hahaha the Greenthumbed Jester? I'm just spit balling, you know Nurgle loves his gardens!

[@josephzipprich775]

I think there needs to be a Barnum and a Bailey
