Hi all, As I don't see using my nids in 40k any time soon, and I don't want to sell them, I'm planning on repurposing them as a lizardman army for WFB. I want to do it "right" and make it as easy for my opponent to understand as possible, as I plan on bringing them to tourneys as well as friendly games. My planned counts-as scheme is as follows: Slaan - Zoanthropes Skinks - Hormagaunts Camo skinks - I'm thinking lictors but I need to see what I can do with the bases, they may end up being Termagants Saurus - Base Genestealers Temple guard - Fully upgraded Genestealers, maybe a different color as well Kroxigars - Warriors Stegadons - Carnifexes modeled to easily show the difference between ancient and regular Engine of the gods - Trygon Terradons - Gargoyles Razordons - Raveners Salamanders - Pyrovores Everything will be based properly for fantasy and I want to go with a jungle theme for the bases and unit fillers to give them more of a typical lizardman feel. The questions I have are: 1. What are some creative ways that I can represent things not normally seen in 40k that are staples in WFB? Things like command models are the big one here. I can use different poses to some degree or more creative basing but I really want my opponent to be able to understand which units have command models. 2. Thoughts on creatively modeling the skink priest on the Trygon? I don't just want to plunk a gaunt on top and call it a day, it feels lazy. 3. What else can I do to eliminate confusion and give the army a Lustrian feel? When I set up on the other side of the table, I really want my opponent to think "Wow, great idea and great execution!" rather than "WTF? I call shenanigans!!" Thanks in advance for the assistance, I appreciate it!
Use Ymgarl heads to make command distinct, give scything talons in the air to banner bearer. Green stuff a big throat around the musician so it looks like he bellows to make the noise? I'm not really sure for musician, as i'm unfamiliar with all of the bits in almost all the nid boxes
