im gonna need some bigger pictures. And as someone just trying to find a box of tomb guard and a warsphinx, I can't imagine the price unless you still had the bits laying around.

I am working on gathering the pieces for a general order army based around Devoted of Sigmar. I have two options for it that I am working on.
Option A: They Came From Above
War Altar
Warrior Priest
Excelsior Warpriest
Knight-Azyros
Skywarden
Prime
5 Reavers (3 units)
40 Flagellants
6 Prosecutors
3 Vanguard Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows
The general idea is that the Reavers are battleline and mobile supported by the skywarden and the knight-azyros. The prime comes down to save the day in style while the rest of the stormcast shoot or charge in (with the knight-azyros improving their shots.
Option B: Faith and Thunder
War Altar
Warrior Priest
Excelsior Warpriest
Knight-Azyros
Cogsmith
Skywarden
5 Reavers (3 units)
40 Flagellants
10 Shadow Warriors
Cannon
Hellblaster Volley Gun
Helstorm Rocket Battery
Obviously much more of a gunline with flagellants.
Any opinions or thoughts?

Was reading some of the warscrolls. The cannon seems a little overpowered. D6 mortal wounds on a 4+, per turn, if an engineer is present? Plus regen if the right unit is close by? I think 160 points is too cheap for that. I would either make the mortal wounds once per game or make the to hit roll harder each time till it acn't be completed anymore.

@Elmir, dont you sell it! I mean, they aren't wrong BUT its a hell of a nice kit and I'm sure youll find a great use for it (like what you have above).
-
damn you and that necrosphinx. a man could buy a house with 2 of those.

This looks great so far!

this thread is great. it looks like your list has changed, mind posting it?

Some heavy infantry for a cog-fort. Might run them as free guild guard, ironbreakers, or something else, not sure yet.

that thing looks massive

@stato, totally!
At my measurement level, we are pretty much talking table terrain feature lol. Titans get scaled down, 40k flyers get scaled down, I'd buy totally for a frigate sized cog-fort!

In AOS scale, how many inches is that?
If a freeguild solider is about 6 feet, give or take, and comes in at 28-30 mm. Then the top of cog fort deck or wall depending on how you want to interpret the story. 280/300mm to 380/390 mm. So about 1 foot, 3 inches on the high end of that 80 feet?
I believe a Warhammer giant is about 4.5 inches tall?

Cogfort commander now armed and ready for duty. Simple weapon swap, filed off the Eagle on his ha and added a feather. Was going to use the Freeguild General rules but may end up using Kharadron Admiral rules as the other units will WYSIWYG weapon-wise closer to Dispossessed and Kharadron units (just really tall human looking ones). Currently working on putting together Temptus Scion bodies for his shock troopers

2.) This is always a solution, Green Stuff can work miracles if you are proficient with it, I am not. Potentially one can add a thin metal pin from the horse to the rider and the cover it in Green Stuff to mimic the ghostly tails.
I'd try the pin and then some green stuff. Get a small thin string of green stuff, wrap it around the pin once the pin is in place and then pull it backwards to make it look like a trail of cloth. Put a little vaseline on your fingers, chapstick would work, and it'll not stick to your fingers. You could also try this a number of times off the model to practice the effect.

Potential ideas on how to reinforce that appreciated.
From looking at the picture it seems like his robes flow pretty close to the rear/rump of the horse.
Could you:
1. if the gap is small enough put a bit of glue there to connect those pieces?
2. greenstuff another "tail" of flowing robes that goes between the robe and the horse? onces it dry it should help with support and would blend in as part of the original robes.

Here is a Tempest Eye army idea
Freeguild General on Griffon
Freeguild General on Griffon
Drakeseer
Knight-Azyros
Cogsmith
Freeguild Handgunners X10
Freeguild Handgunners X10
Freeguild Handgunners X10
Prosecutors with Celestial Hammers X 6
Ironbreakers X 10
Cannon
Cannon
Griffons, Drakeseer, Prosecutors fly up and charge enemy. Azyros flys up. Shoot things near it with cannons. Use handgunners and ironbreakers to grab close objectives or defend cannons. Could drop the ironbreakers for another 3 prosectuors and a command point. Currently at 1980 points.

Cogfort commander almost ready to get painted. However, he needs a pistoler/outrider pistol or an arkanaut company pistol. Anyone got one, a right handed one, just one? I've got temptus scion weapons, grave guard, black knights to trade. Anyone?
