Hello everyone
I recently bought a small force of flesh eaters courts just for the fun of painting, and playing small games. I currently bought the following new and un-built:
2 Start collecting
1 Nightheast box
1 single ghoul (used for ghast courtier)
I have two questions
How should I build my monsters (dragon or terrorghiest) and the heavier troops (horrors or flayers)?
Which theme should I go for?
- Classic Ghouls in the graveyard / crypt: An army of ghouls with tile bases, spooky candles with ethereal glow effects, and bits from the garden of morr terrain on the bases / display board. The army with be pale flesh, black void-less eyes, and a lot of blood effects.
Pros: It would go with my Nighthaunts and death rattles basing scheme.
Cons: Its a classic look, but not as original as my other idea.
-Cannibals: I am a big fan of creature feature and exploitation films, so an army of dark skin cannibals with tattoos on jungle bases is an interesting idea. The theme for the force would be they worship Nagash as a giant bat of death, night and feasting (similar to Mayan god Camazotz). The force would be painted as dark skin, white skull tattoos, lots of blood effects and albino bats / terrorgheists. Bases would be Mayan stone and statues with jungles plants.
Pros: Unique, and a fun theme
Cons: It's stepping a bit on the theme of my other armies (lizardmen and bonesplitterz). It will be a bit more work as well.
Thoughts and thanks for reading.
