Some fun stuff for an Iron Warriors army there I suppose - they use lots of Daemon Engines right?

They need to sack who ever comes up with the names. Forge Fiend? Really?

To be fair these can all be abstracted quite nicely into Daemon Engines.

Banelord.
Death Wheel.
Blood Reaper.
Blood Slaughterer.
Death Dealer.
Doom Blaster.
Doom Wing.
TOWER OF SKULLS!

Stupid names are not a new phenomenon for Chaos models!

while those names are awesomely infantile, 'forge fiend' just feels horrible to say

plus those other daemon engines were around when I was 13 and first getting into epic scale gaming so they're beyond criticism, they were awesome then, they are awesome now!

I disagree. There is nothing wrong with any of the names in that list. Khorne isn't exactly renowned for subtlety.

The new Chaos dragons/engines or whatever they are supposed to be just look like mechanised versions of the Tyranid Dominatrix made for 40K scale in my view. I think that they are risible, and I hope that there are no plans to try to incorporate them into any Epic lists.

Chaos Dinobots -> ugly, just the juggernaut idea applied to less cool creatures like they stole the exodite's dinos and then cyborg'ed them for some reason
Warpsmith -> can't even tell what this is. Looks like a techmarine w/ other bits on top? where is its head? Does it have a slug body?
Warp Talons -> look cooler than raptors for what it's worth. Without having seen the rules, can't imagine them being that different from raptors

they look a hell of a lot like privateer press's cryx.

Not how i imagined them to be, sigh. Still, better shove them into the Stygians out of fairness.

No objection to the name forgefiend, as above, it's no worse than the other names. It just looks stupid.

I'm going to pretend that the helldrake doesn't exist.

Random thought - the Helldrake shares an aesthetic overlap with the old Tzeentch fliers, only it's draconian instead of avian, and has some stylistic nods to the helltalon/hellblade wings.

It is even painted blue and gold :D

For me the new CSM range is a bath of hot (yay!) and cold (ugh!).
