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. |

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. |
