So I’m thinking of expanding my nurgle Warriors of chaos with the followers of another god. Same nurgle themed basing throughout.
I’m thinking both would involve a great deal of conversions to be done properly. Go big or go home and all that.
I would start with a unit of marauders, then maybe some warriors.
Slaanesh would involve converting every sort of strange warped perversion I could think of, and probably buying a lot of single models from other companies if they fit the theme. Like having a single ogre in a unit. They would all be warriors though, no women slaves or any of that. Warriors in gimp masks maybe, but still warriors.
Tzeentch would be a different kind of difficulty, because it would involve very free flowing sculpting. The crazier I could make it the better. The downside would be I’d have to scratch sculpt probably 75% of every model. :( Again, all warriors, but the most crazy horrors I could imagine.
I reckon that the biggest question you should ask yourself is “do I want to paint a lot of Pink/Blue?”… That’s what I would ask myself at least.
Pink is a lot more forgiving that blue, and it’s very easy to combine colors together givem the huge amount of purlpe/violet paints available on the market.
Again, Slaanesh is fairly easier to convert than Tzeentch, as nowadays there are plenty of feminine miniatures available on the market…
I did start sculpting a tzeentch ogre or two a few years back that had human bodies warped onto their armour. Like anything they touched just merged with them. If I did anything tzeentch it would be blending armour and skin all over the place.
@Madhatter I was thinking something more like this for a slaanesh ogre, only iron and not gold
@Skink Slaanesh I would paint almost totally black, with pink tinted armour and white skin.
Tzeenth would be an awesome army. I’ve seen manu Slaanesh armies. Never seen a tzeenth army I think.
I say Tzeenth. Keeper of Secrets, Changer of Ways. Lots of arcane stuff, scrolls, books, wings, beaks. I actually have a gazillion fathered metal wings in different sizes. Would fit both human and ogre sized. You can have those for cheap is toy go for this.
I think I’m coming down on the side of making some Tzeentch ogres and some Slaanesh marauders.
I came up with some concepts for tzeentch ogres that imo are going to be crazily awesome. The only downside is I will have to pretty much scratch sculpt all of them. I do have some spare plastic ogre arms and heads.
The real trick though is stop just short of making them look like spawn.
On another note, I have started my plan to make 3 chariots pulled by rotflies. I have the rot flies ready converted, have just won a chariot on ebay and need to find 2 more.
