Deamons Part 3 is about the little guys, the rank and file lesser demons and
deity aligned beasts. As a devout flower of Khorne I liked the dichotomy
of the Bloodletters. They had a skinny, frail, distorted look to them in
their initial release yet their deity was all about violence. They are
almost Geiger-esque with the elongated heads like everyone's favorite killer
alien! I snatched up a few blisters and ended up with a unit of 16.
These are very early paint jobs by me in my late teens/early 20’s.
Not bad given the state of paint and inks, or lack thereof, at the time. These figures were re-worked for their 2nd iteration into what I refer to as the “Arnoldletters”, muscle bound brutes.
The 3rd version was a departure in a couple of directions.
The “Goatletters” took on a goat head like look and they
swapped out their swords for axes, they are still interesting figures but they
don't hold quite the same appeal for me as the originals.
With the 4th
version they reverted back to the big headed, skinny body model and they got
upgraded (or downgraded depending on your opinion) to plastic
models. I’m an original type of guy and prefer the first version,
they were some of the first multi-part metal models released and provided you
with a ton of combinations. My goal is to have at least an 8 man squad of
each type in the future. The 1st and 4th edition are taken care of now for the versions in between.
