The last paragraph is basically skubbing both against the walker and the fucking original model. Make up your mind, nerds. Also, >realism >40K |

"MAKE PEE-NIS INTO ROBOT!"
The Lord of Skulls (formerly known as the Lord of Battle, colloquially known as The Rape Train) is a massive Daemon Engine of Khorne. Those tanks on its back store the blood of murderers, which get heated to boiling by the daemon's rage and then vented out through the chest-cannon (with various ranges, strengths, and so on depending on which one you get). Its right arm holds the Great Cleaver of Khorne, a destroyer melee weapon. The left arm is either a gatling cannon or (as pictured here) a skullhurler, a cannon shaped like a skull that shoots a bunch of skulls that gnaw on their targets (forcing successful saves to be re-rolled). Seriously, we couldn't make this up if we tried -- just imagine skulls chomping everyone like Pac-Man.

Forge World sells a conversion kit for turning this model into a walker. Either you think it makes it look generic as fuck, or gives some kinda 'realism' and Khornateness to the model without going over-the-top.
