Let's talk custom armies: Amazons!

[Ander]

I would love to bring back to AOS one of my fav armies on the old Warhammer armies days: Amazons

All the old metal models are quite dated so I think that converting would be the way to go. 

The best Idea I have for now is using Daughters of khaine model + Seraphon weapons, bits and iconography. Also, I would use the new Barbed Bracken for the basing.

Do you think this is the "best" approach? What other ideas do you have that you think could fit this Army?

Seems the most sensible approach if you don't want the old models. Though I think a lot of the details from witch elves don't stick too much to the Amazon theme, which could require a lot of work if you prefer going that way.

Since model variety is rather limited, you could check some other manufacturers. Ain't too many  availability, but I think FreeBooter has some fantastic Amazon minis that would fit great for heroes, wizards, champions, etc...

The Mordheim warband is quite cool despite its age.

Also, if you also go for the "Greek Amazon" look instead of "Aztec", these guys have some good amount for full units:

Hope it helps.

Also the Seekers of Slaanesh might be a good start for some mounted Amazons. The dark elf excalted sorceress (the old model) or the floating wanderers sorceress seem to be fit quite well. 

Are you going to build your own ruleset. Or will you be proxiïng them?

Those look cool!  I feel the need to include those in an army some way, some how.
