Custom hero for the narrative campaign

One of the options that Age of Sigmar 2.0 rules provided, and that I think was really good, was The Anvil of Apotheosis. I really liked the idea of building heroes for narrative games, and since I started collecting Disciples of Tzeentch this year, I decided to build my first custom hero - the loyal servant of the changer of Ways.  

I knew what I wanted - a warrior-mage, armed with a warhammer, riding a steed of Chaos (or some kind of daemonic mount). Since I really like Varanguard models, I used one of them as a base for the conversion. As you can see on the pictures below, the conversion is pretty basic and requires just a small amount of work - all you need to do is to swap the Varanguard head with Tzaangor (or Tzaangor Enlightened) one, and that's it. You might have to do a bit of work in order to make the Tzaangor head fit properly on the rider's torso, but that should be fairly easy.  

 


And here's a warscroll I created for this guy - the hero is 200 points (DP), with mount and all additional abilities/upgrades:

 

The good thing is that I can always use this model as a regular Chaos hero on Daemonic Mount and it also fits nicely with my Tzeentch WHFB army (I know, it's not on square base, but rebasing is something that I just don't want to do at this point).

Beasts of Choas - Converting Bestigors

As I already mentioned in one of my older posts, Beasts of Chaos were the army I was looking at for a long time (probably since I discovered Warhammer in the late 90s). However, because of various reasons (and other games I played) I started collecting them only recently.

Since I mostly play 1000 point casual games with my friends, I decided to keep the army small, thematic and focus only on the models that I like the most ("prettiest Beastmen models" definitely sounds kinda strange). The plan was to build the most of the army from two Start Collecting sets and add a few exta things, like Doombull and Warhounds. However, I wanted to customize the army in some way and make it look "cool". The first thing I added was the Minotaur model from Zealot miniatures, that was already described here - it will make a great Doombull!

I also wasn't satisfied with the Beastigors. I like the concept (angry powerful Beastmen with big axes) but I'm not a fan of the poses. While searching for inspiration, I stumbled upon this page, where I saw a beatutiful Beastmen conversions - be sure to check it out, because this guy has is doing a fantastic job. Seeing JP's conversions inspired me a lot, so I decided to do something similar with my Bestigors - but I wanted MORE axes and spikes. So, I decided to order a lot of left and right arms from Blood Warriors set from eBay:


Then I started assembling the models. I am very satisfied with the end result - here are the pictures of my Bestigors:











Well, I like these Bestigors more than the original ones. I am now waiting on another set of Blood Warriors' arms, so I can convert the next unit. As soon as they are finished,  I'll post some pictures here.
