This is an old thread, but I found it on Google so others probably will too. This is the best thing I've found so far. Designed specifically to be similar and compatible with the original Warcry Starter Set terrain. https://pandorasbox.gumroad.com/l/FantasyRuins

No Contrast on this armor! I used this Jack of Clubs How to Paint Raven Guard video as a basis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLF7buMfyLQ I ended up going through 4 or 5 test models of "hmm could use more/stronger highlights" until I was happy. In the end the highlights look way too strong right after airbrushing (had a small panic attack after highlighting 15 guys this way), but the wash at the end brings everything way down. 1. airbrush prime Vallejo Surface Primer Black 2. airbrush base Vallejo Game Air Black (in case I have to do any touch-ups) 3. large airbrush highlights of Vallejo Game Air Sombre Grey 4. smaller airbrush highlights of Vallejo Model Air Light Blue RLM65 5. edge highlight Vallejo Model Air Light Blue RLM65 (they don't make a non-air Light Blue RLM65) 6. heavy wash of 100% The Army Painter Dark Tone (this really helps to tone down the highlights and smooth the transitions) That's it! There is a little bit of skill involved in the airbrush highlights and the edge highlighting, but it's mostly just technique/recipe!

Here's a collage of the aforementioned Chaos Warriors. My first squad finished after a 20 year break from Warhammer! 😳 And for those who're interested, here's the complete album link (same as previous post about gloves) https://steamforge.net/photos/index.php?/category/18

New sculpts are mostly metal with a few leather. One is a leather glove with a metal guard on the back of the hand. Old sculpts are all leather. I JUST finished painting and photographing my Chaos Warriors. I'm missing 3 of the new sculpts but otherwise you can see high res photos of the new and old sculpts. Metal is black, leather is brown. The guy with the horn had a left arm swap. His sculpt would typically have a metal glove on his left hand. https://steamforge.net/photos/index.php?/category/19

Roger. Thanks.

Now that Gaunt Summoners only summon 5 Pink Horrors (instead of 10) I have a question. Since the warscroll says 1 in 10 can be a Hornblower and 1 in 10 can be an Icon Bearer, does our unit of 5 get to contain those command models? I've checked the Core Rules and Eratta. It seems like a common scenario, but I'm having trouble finding commentary on it.

I don't think so. However you can find them parted out on eBay pretty frequently.

Taking into account the Warrior's base they look to be about the same height as the Warriors. Really a perfect fit! They look better in your pics than on the Mantic site! I'm guessing it's mostly a higher res pic of them spread out on 25mm bases instead of packed together in a low res photo.

Those look good! Do you have a pic of the next to Chaos Warriors or a Chaos Lord on Foot or something for size reference?

Duh yeah. I meant 90mm base. Thanks for the reminder.

I also just got excited about the Legion of Azgorh Forgeworld model Shar'tor the Executioner and just want to paint him because he's so cool! (reminds me of a Warcraft Pit Lord). Started considering how I could use him and noticed we can't ally in Legion of Azgorh (but they can ally in StD!) (Edit: I learned that basically nobody can ally in LoA) Lame (even though he probably wouldn't synergize that well). I'm thinking about trying to mount him on a 120mm base and running him as a Slaughterbrute or putting him on a 120mm base and adding big wings and running him as a Chaos Lord on Manticore. Maybe seeing it he'll fit on a 90mm base and running him as a Chaos Lord on Karkadrak (but I doubt he'll fit). https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Shartor-the-Executioner-FW

I was just getting excited about an all cavalry army and started wondering "why the heck don't they have a Chaos Sorcerer Lord on Demonic Mount" and then was even more disappointed to see that the pre-Battletome warscroll for the Chaos Sorcerer Lord allowed for a Demonic Mount! Those dorks! https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-chaos-sorcerer-lord-en.pdf

I ended up adding 5 old Warriors and 5 old Knights and using them for Musicians and Standard Bearers. I wrote this little article showing how I did magnetization and command models. I showed a few examples of conversions of the arriors to Musicians and Standard Bearers. I'm still working on the Knights but I magnetized all their weapon hands too and you could easily make them instruments or banners. The easiest would be to slap a pennant/banner on a vertical lance and glue a horn to the back or side of another model. When I finish my Knights conversions I'll update the article and post back here. https://steamforge.net/wiki/index.php/Age_of_Sigmar:_Slaves_to_Darkness:_Start_Collecting_Box_Magnetization_%26_Conversion

That's the important part! 😜 If you do have them, and you're willing to part with them please send me a PM.

I know most smart people are going with Ensorcelled Weapons on their Knights. Well I think Lances look cool hehe. Does anyone have a spare set of Cursed Lances from the newer Age of Sigmar: Slaves to Darkness Start Collecting Box, Chaos Knights? I have 5 "old" knights that I want to equip with matching Lances.
