So, I am already kind of planning and looking at my next army, and I think I want to go with Warriors of Chaos as something very different from my other forces so far, and I really love some of the models. If I do this, I am leaning towards a mono-Tzeentch build, only Skullcrushers are by default Khorne. I wouldn't necesarily always run them, but I do want the option of them.
So, here is my question ... what do you think about/would you allow this - skullcrushers come on 50x75 bases. I was thinking of using arachnaroks (I LOVE the models), and converting some riders somehow and/or other converstion to use as Tzeentch version of Skullcrushers. No change in abilities from as written, but the arachnarok comes on 100x150 base. So 2 spiders would = 4 skullcrushers, and just track wounds and drop attacks once "1 died" but only remove a model once 2 had been killed. It would actually be a net disadvantage to me - the frontage of the unit would remain the same, but it would be twice as deep, and stay more wide, even when my attacking power was decreased, since if a unit of 4 actual skullcrushers would lose one model it would only have a 75mm frontage, but my idea would maintain the 100mm. So basically I am putting myself at a disadvantage to go with a modelling concept that I really like.
So, my question is kind of three fold:
1. If I showed up on Tuesday nights to play you (whoever reads this thread) would be be willing to allow it?
2. Would it be allowed at our monthly tournaments?
3. I know that no one here would have the specific answer, but some of you vets - how do you think TO's at GTs would react if I approached them up front about this?
As far as the modeling goes, I am going back and forth between wanting to model some chaos riders onto them somehow (below is an Ogre version), or maybe converting it more into a monstrous creature ala the other picture below:
