Thats very much what I've been doing tbf. I don't see myself playing S2D in aos anymore. Now I just need to find ways to kitbash some flails.

I don't know enough about WHFB lore to do lots of these but my stuff I would like and some stuff i reckon: Wood elves: -Sisters of twilight, i just love the idea of two sassy sisters flying around hecking stuff up. Warriors of chaos: -I would go with Valkia since she has such an easily attainable model. But there's the whole AoS/Old World competetive selling debate. -Possibly the old chaos troll king that they did as a made to order before, could be good for the more norsca-ey theme (if hes even born at this point) Empire: -I'd expect fresh new characters like they did with two of the Brett ones. Tomb kings: -Khalida would make sense and is a pretty great model

Yeah I was thinking of making 20 of them. I have 2 boxes so was planning 20 GW, 10 S/S (because I like the models) who can always sit in the back rows as extra GW boys and girls in a pinch and then use the spare 10 bodies for conversions and such. I also kinda wish we had a few options of great weapons without the second hand molded on so I could use them for grail knight conversions but that should be a fairly easy fix anyway. Also using the upper torsos on KotR legs shouldn't be too hard a conversion.

I'm also curious to see how people have been running / theorycrafting foot knights as the models are -gorgeous-. My thoughts are using them with great weapons as I'm not sure there's much need for them being an anvil with sword and shield when yeoman guard/men at arms blobs are so cheap. One thing I have discovered during my game with brets I had vs goblins was that a baron on royal pegasus with the exiles magic axe and gromril helm is an absolute beast in combat. She really ran rampant through some units and I had the good fun of doing enough overkill during a challenge that she managed to make an entire unit of orcs and their warboss flee and get run down...

I also use my ogroids as chaos Ogres. Yeah I think thats a good shout using the blood secrator as a BSB, it'll definitely stand out. I'd say you definitely have enough models to make a proper sized list. With the newer chaos stuff though you may need to do some alterations to make them rank up. For knights especially I had to trim the cloak and armswap the unit champion to make him rank up well on the 30x60mm

Hey fellow marauders, chosen, and forsaken! Since we now have an old world sub forum It seems appropriate for a topic about the true rulers of the old world. The chaos gods!! Has anyone gotten games in with our wonderful warriors or are you still in the theory crafting and painting stages? I managed to have a game against dwarves yesterday and I've found our roster to be interesting at least. I mostly ran chaos warriors with some chosen knights, ogres, a demon prince, exalted champion, and exalted sorcerer. I think we can have some really fun magic and I definitely like daemonology for us. I'm glad I gave all my heroes favoured by chaos even if my champion did reroll a 1 into a 1. One thing I found was it felt like whilst my DP was very tough she really lacked solid damage having only the ap-1 from ensorcelled weapon, though granted she did end up getting stuck going into iron breakers. Some of our main issues I found were the slowness of the warriors and the high cost of the units meaning losing a unit really hurt in terms of VP's. Does anyone have any units they're finding to prove quite useful or like the look of? I will say though I did enjoy my game and like that our basic infantry have some really nice stat lines that help them keep alive and do some damage as well. Even if I kept forgetting half my extra rules...

My pledge for this month is to try and finish off some bretonnians I've been working on. Namely my questing knights and my men at arms.

That's a big part of their draw for me.

I'm working on bretonnians (notably exiles) but I'm also debating tomb kings and possibly wood elves. I don't want to get too involved in lots of army projects again though. I have enough issue with that in aos.

Are the rider and mount separate? I want to be able to like replace the lance with an axe etc and that looks tough if its all printed together.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but does anyone have any recommendations for kitbashing a bretonnian Hippogryph? Especially now that we know its a 50mm base. Ive got a spare victrix african war elephant since im turning one into elephant artillery for my border prince bombard. Would an elephant with wings work for my hippogryph (elephogryph)? Or would that look a bit too goofy?

I believe the wizard lord and general on griffon are both in the same kit together. It's different head and rider options. (Also whichever one you go with you can probably build the other as a foot option if you sort some legs). As for which to go for in lists... magnetise the head and riders so you don't have to choose?

Interesting thought, they're an odd unit but odd in a good way as they seem to have a few different ways you can utilise them. I might try out running 2 squads to hang with my main front lines and add some damage whilst keeping them alive. Being able to stack that healing on a unit can really add up over the game definitely. Could be very interesting combined with the 4+ rally from the manticore lady but thats also a ton of points and probably not needed.

Does anyone know how tall the ironweld great cannon is? I know its on a 90mm base. Wanting to get an idea because I might be debating kitbashing an elephant cannon.. (I've been playing too much Medieval 2 total war) and want to try and get dimensions so I can sort out a model as I think the lotr mumak might be way too large.

Cav heavy is my ideal so that sounds great Thanks! Is there a particular consensus yet on which weapon is best for the marshall? They each seem to have pros and cons so im not too sure myself on which would be preferable. Im not too keen on the lance as I like to be able to pack a punch even when I don't charge!
