I've been
mulling over the Chaos Cavalry Horde concept I outlined a week or so
back. The final kick came when I realised I already had a not
indecent number of models for it already. I already own a couple of
mounted Chaos characters (the mounted Lord with a warhammer and the
old Tzeentch Sorcerer on Disc) as well as the Nurglesque Chariot I
converted some time ago and a unit of Marauder Horsemen (again
Nurglesque as I fancied the idea of Horsemen armed with scythes).
Then my
friend Matt found someone on eBay selling units of Skullcrushers for
£19 for three, postage free. Good deal so I got two sets. Those
Skullcrushers are more than five hundred points just by themselves
never mind the exorbitant cost of Chaos characters.
A little
finger counting (“more of an art than a science”) says I have
something like a thousand points of mounted Chaos already. Not all
built, barely any of it painted but there.
And I might
as well get some use out of it.
And I have
enough spare heads from the Skullcrushers to outfit a five man unit
of Chaos Knights with Khorne bunny helmets. Of course, they come in
boxes of ten now but that just gives me an excuse to get some
Hellstriders, build them with bare heads and use the helmets to make
a Slaaneshi unit.
First job,
though, decide whether I want two units of Skullcrushers or whether I
want to use the second set to make a couple of Khornate Gorebeast
Chariots and a Khorne Lord. The answer to this question is probably
“yes”. The answer to whether I want to make weird shit instead of
the things the kit is meant to make is usually “yes”. I'm just
that sort of hobbyist.
