Golem/Elemental Themed Army

#1 Post by The Custodian »

So this ideas been kicking around for a bit now and I was wondering what you all think. THe army would be modeled to be completely elemental as if the elements had risen up to attack you. He4res the basic Idea so far, uses the Warriors of Chaos book...

Lord
Diamond/Gold or mixed elemental, GSed (like everything else) in a humanoid form. Parts magnetised so I can swap out weapon choices and such. Wings?? (Outline atleast on the back made of stone?)

Heroes

Mage: Diamond or Water, depends on the lore I suppose...
Melee: Steel and rock. Fire is an option aswell... (Anyone have any links to a Fire Modeling Tutorial?)

Core

Wood Elementals: THe only GW models in the army, would use WE dryads to either represent Chaos Warriors or Barbarians... Im leaning towards Barbarians... ALl would have the mark of slanesh to represent the whole immune to most psyche thingy...

Water/Air Elemental: Would be the fast cav options or te wolves...


Special
Steel Golems: WOuld use the rules of Chosen I believe. Warriors made of chunks of polished steel...

Steel Knights: Chaos knights riding water ekemental horses?? The knights like the chosen would be modeled as globs of steel animated together.

Rare:

Fiery Behemoth: Uses the rules for either a giant or dragon ogre shaggoth...

Rock Golems: Ogres... Nuff said...

All in the the only GW models would probably be the Dryads for core (thier to numerous for me to GS individualy). Also numerous bits MAY be used on the Metal elemental dudes to represent they were cobbeled together from metal, which I must say would be hard to find unless it was on another battlefield...

What do you guys think fluff wise this could work? Ive also considered making a 'normal' wizard as the lord, as if he was the one that brought the army into beeing but this version of Non humanness is much more satisfying...

This a great idea :D . I hope you do it a so you can post the picks. Fluff wise I think it would be good to have a normal wizard controlling an army he summoned, like a vampire and his skeletons/zombies. good luck
