Oh this keeps getting better and better!

These are looking good, those Wardokks are a good idea, the bonfire on the last one is clever.

Are there separate warcrolls for the 3 named mega gargants? or do they use the same warscroll as their unnamed version?
If separate, where can they be found? They're not in the app?
They are just a paragraph of additional rules inside the Sons of Behemat book, they use the Warscrolls of whatever type of Mega Gargant they are.

The scale and freedom are big draws for me as well. It's easy to come up with a background for your army without struggling to fit it into the background.
Right now I'm working on Shyish themed Ironjawz (riding "ghost gruntas" so eerily silent that their riders tie chains to them to make some noise) to fight my wife's nighthaunts. It's really fun coming up with my own little corner of Shyish.
Ghost Gruntas sound amazing, do you have any pictures of them?
The looseness of the setting is a blessing and a curse. Its nice having wriggle room for your own ideas, but so much of it feels wishy washy. I've tried to get into the AoS lore, i'm working from AoS 1 to present day and its clear they didn't have a plan for the first year or so. GW got lucky when the community took a lazy oversight and rolled with it.
Its nice having a setting where you have Gods and Monsters brawling over ancient relics and sites of arcane power, but also where you get smaller stories that still feel impactful. There was a short story about the fall of Anvilguard, with a company of Freeguild being saved by Corsairs that don't trust Morathi, I bet none of those mentioned will turn up again, but thats what made it good. Its a relatable story about nobodies in a setting where literal Gods literally walk about and fight.

Thanks
I was going to use a regular Mawkrusha, but as all the other models are converted it felt wrong, so I went for something totally different. I've got the last 2 Goregruntas almost ready for painting, hopefully I can get them done for the end of March.

That creature is so unnerving, great work!

Hey all, I decided to switch to Destruction as my main faction when COVID hit, so I figured i'd need a place to put up the photos of what I've done, mainly to stop me from carpet bombing the club chat with every small bit of progress
I'll start with my latest army, my Ironjawz. I converted 30 Ardboyz from Blood Bowl orcs with savage orruk weapons and headswaps from Brutes, 40k and Savage Orruks so they matched the Brutes and Savage Orruks better (for when I run Big Waaagh). They were converted slowly as a break in between painting Savage Orruks, but I managed to get 30 Ardboyz, 15 Brutes, 3 Warchanters, Mawkrusha and a Megaboss on foot painted in 2 months which is not something I usually do
The Battle Tortoise has taken a load of time to get finished, but I'm well chuffed with it.
I've got 6 Goregruntas in the works based on Dragon Ogor bodies and Hydra heads, Blood Bowl Black Orcs as riders. My aim for March is to get these finished but I'm in a bit of a hobby lull this month.

@SunStorm Really nice work there!
He looks to be on par scale wise but you can tell the artist gave them different anatomical proportions! My idea was to use him as a MawKrusha Boss or given his wounds, a Gordrakk conversion.
Nice! I may still pick up that half of BB off Ebay. I'll wait awhile and see what GWs brings out for them first.
I don't know if this will help, I can get a pic of them next to each other tonight, but here he is next to a Warchanter.
edit: I converted my Ardboyz from Blood Bowl Orcs and spare savage Orruk weapons, they match the Brutes a bit better and look less elite but still badass.

The bases definitely top them off, ive beem trying to do better with my hades as I've really have slacked on them in the past, so trying to "up that game", to use the parlance of our times. My Troglodon's new base is exactly what it deserved from the beginning.
Jungle plants were from Amazon, the cattails and tree were from Hobby lobby, i bought them a long time ago though, not sure i have the boxes anymore.
Thanks, i'm definitely going to steal this idea.

Wow! Those models are stunning, but the bases top them off perfectly! Where did you get the jungle plants from?

Hmm... there’s something here with the Stormkeep patrol teleport and Celestial Warbringers Fearless Foresight, I think. Due to sequencing you can teleport forwards, then if enemy takes the first turn, Foresight away to safety.
You could stack it with the Vanguard Raptors with the multi shot attacks as they reduce enemy charge ranges too.

Also if you want some female heads you can take a look at adepta sororitas, if you have a friend who plays this army he's probably have tons of naked heads with badass features and variety of haircuts and expressions (bald head, square cut, hooded head...etc).
That's what i did to create some home made custom heroes and it's something i recommand.
Also you can probably find some of those on Ebay at a pretty low price, look at plastic kit such as seraphim for example, they have great heads and there's not a lot of futuristic elements on them.They scale okay, they're small but not too much so.

I have many many Boys with 2 weapons and some with Bows.
I also have many normal Goblins with spears and many with Bows (no Night Goblins).
I have Orcs on Boars and Goblins on Wolfes.
Then i got an Orc Shaman and an Orc Bigboss and an Boss on Boar and an Nightgoblin Shaman.
I have a Rock Lobber (Catapult) and two Goblin Doom Diver (also Catapult, but much cooler). And then i also got 2 or 3 Orc Boar Charriots.
I also got Black Orcs, but they are older than the other models, looks like 4th edition. I bet they are much smaller than the new ones (and with much less armor).
This was an really cool army.
If they are in legends, i it means they are maybe somehow playable but they will be very very weak, right? Maybe not a great way to start new into AoS.The two hand weapons, boar boys, Shaman, Big Boss and archers could be used as Savage Orruks, I'm not too sure if they'd fit, but if you could fit the Chariots onto 90x52 bases (I think thats the right size) you could use them as Gore Gruntas. Just explain what is what, most of it should be self explanatory.
Have a go with Orruk Warclans, Big Waagh lets you use the Savage Orruks and Ironjawz sides in one army.

Are three Beastclaw Start collecting sets a decent start to an army?
edit: Too weak willed, i've ordered 3

I was thinking of a way to convert a chaos warshrine and realized the warshrine chasis is about the same size as the new chaos lord's karkadrak mount. Ive got a new start collecting box and im so tempted to try it, but i hate to chop up such a nice model for a conversion...
I think the Karkadrak is significantly smaller, I can check for you tonight.

Thats good to see, that pile in artefact looks like its ripe for shenannigans.

....love it. (Except you can only give your General the Command Trait)
Maybe give the Sorcerer Mask of Darkness instead so you can teleport a reincarnated Varanguard to where you need it?
Ah, my bad (copied the units over on Warscroll builder.

I had a think about that Khorne Fist of the Everchosen idea and i've come up with this.
Allegiance: Slaves to Darkness
- Damned Legion: Knights of the Empty Throne
Mortal Realm: Shyish
Leaders
Knights of the Empty Throne Varanguard (300)
- General
- Command Trait: Wall of Cursed Iron
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne
Knights of the Empty Throne Varanguard (300)
- Artefact: Grasping Plate
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne
Knights of the Empty Throne Varanguard (300)
- Artefact: Corrupted Nullstone
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne
Chaos Sorcerer Lord (110)
- Mark of Chaos: Undivided
- Spell: Binding Damnation
Battleline
5 x Chaos Marauder Horsemen (90)
- Javelin & Shield
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne
5 x Chaos Marauder Horsemen (90)
- Javelin & Shield
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne
5 x Chaos Marauder Horsemen (90)
- Javelin & Shield
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne
5 x Chaos Knights (180)
- Ensorcelled Weapons
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne
5 x Chaos Knights (180)
- Ensorcelled Weapons
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne
Behemoths
Chaos Warshrine (170)
- Mark of Chaos: Khorne
Battalions
Bloodmarked Warband (180)
Total: 1990 / 2000
Extra Command Points: 1
Allies: 0 / 400
Wounds: 212
2 drops (Sorcerer is on Work experience :D). Basic plan is to use the Varanguard to kill stuff, power up the next unit of Varanguard, etc until they can only buff the Knights. Two sources of rerolls to hit and wound from the Sorcerer and Warshrine. Its not a complex list, but could be fun.
I'm not too sure about the Warlord trait or Sorcerer spell. I don't have much anti magic, so having the shield ability means I would get a bit of protection, but the charge rerolls seem like they'd be crucial to one one trick army like this.

BINGO!!
The other day I saw a list of the empty throne combined with the bloodmarked warband. Very terrifying in melee.
Oh damn, I just read what that does. That looks brutal.

So Legion of Chaos Ascendant, and Legion of the First Prince - are both separate allegiances to S2D.
Only Knights of the Empty Throne are a sub-allegiance of the overall S2D then?
Yeah it looks like they're their own army.
