Greater Daemons

 

Well, its time for the biggest of the big guys, Greater Daemons. But which models should I use? 

Here we have an assortment of just a few of the models GW and Citadel Miniatures has released for Bloodthirsters (or similar daemons).

 

Something to complicate this issue, is I technically need 2 of each greater daemon. We added "Exalted" Greater Daemons. These are even bigger and more dangerous Greater Daemons. They take up 3x3 space instead of the normal 2x2 space. These do not show up on the normal Old World Monster Encounter table. They show up in Norsca and Daemon only theme Encounter Tables. But I do need to know what models those will use, so I can pick a smaller less impressive versions for my normal Greater Daemons. To maintain my late 80s through early 2000s styles, I decided to use 5th edition Greater Daemons for the Exalted versions that will show up later. So the most obvious place to get my normal Greater Daemons would be the 3rd edition models.

 With that figured out, time for some skulls for the Throne of Khorne.

Secrets no longer Kept!

So I have been unable to acquire the old 3rd Edition Keeper of Secrets. The other 3 Greater daemons I found on Telegram. I did find a proxi for it, that works for now. I can't figure out where I got it from, but the file says it was downloaded in February, so that would be before I joined Telegram. Likely meaning I found it through Yeggi, Cults3d, MyMiniFactory, or Thingiverse.

I'm up to 555 monsters painted, 558 monsters 3D printed of the 558 needed as of 9/26/25.  

Only 3 monsters left to finish the entire Old World monster encounter table. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.
