The new army
temptation comes less often now. Over the years the instant
attraction to the latest thing has lessened. There are armies I know
aren't to my play style (Eldar) or where I simply don't like the
aesthetics (Khorne Daemons) and, of course, I just don't play Age Of
Sigmar so by and large those releases just pass me by.
That said,
every now and again AoS brings out something I can use for classic
Fantasy, in this case the Disciples of Tzeentch miniatures coming out
this month.
One real
complaint I had against the Fantasy version of Chaos was a lack of
marked units. Now, I like the basic Chaos Warrior as much as the next
man but given the wild variety of 40k's Chaos models they were a bit
samey.
Yet here we
are with GW finally making more god-specific Chaos miniatures. The
Gaunt Summoners, especially the one on a Disc of Tzeentch, would make
fantastic Sorcerer Lords, the Kairic Acolytes would be fantastic
Tzeentchian Marauders (they're a bit too bare chested to be Warriors)
and hopefully theyll have parts left over you could use to customise
Warriors and Knights. Throw in a warherd of Tzaangor, that lovely
Tzeentchian Sorcerer from a few years back and a few mutated looking
monsters, maybe some daemons and you're got yourself an old-fashioned
Hordes of Chaos Tzeentch army.
Finally.
Like I say,
I'm tempted. A few cheap square bases, some Darksphere discount to
offset the expense and... maybe? I don't know, I'm in that “new
year, new project” headspace right now.
