First off, the flamer is much bigger than the standard ones (at least twice the size. The screamers would work, although they do not come with flying bases. Additionally, their tails are attached to either these whisping, fluid like projections or flames (which hold the disc up, which would have to carefully be removed and the tail reshaped. The horrors would work though (they may be a bit smaller then the current plastic horrors, being that they are to be blue horrors rather than the pink ones that are fielded as troops). The herald is really nice, with a lot of different options (3 heads, two variations on the staff, a kris, and many hand options). If the kit is made into the version with the flamer, there is still enough in the kit to not only make the herald, but also put it on a disc of Tzeentch, which pleasantly surprised me.Eric Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276836738624222147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-28466439782616069612013-03-04T08:55:31.049-08:002013-03-04T08:55:31.049-08:00That is a great idea I'll have to remember!That is a great idea I'll have to remember!Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995442020376894243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-73379468953156179252013-02-24T19:56:52.072-08:002013-02-24T19:56:52.072-08:00Yeah, the Tzeentch chariots are a great deal. This...Yeah, the Tzeentch chariots are a great deal. This is particularly true when considered in light of some of the other releases as of late from GW (take the $85 Slaughterbrute/Mutalith Vortex Beast for instance). It will be very interesting to see how viable all of the different Tzeentch units will be in the new Daemon Codex/Army book.Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-6053924499261266162013-02-24T18:04:56.256-08:002013-02-24T18:04:56.256-08:00I've gotta say that burning chariot looks like...I've gotta say that burning chariot looks like a great deal. Just parting it out, you get a herald of tzeentch on a disk, 3 horrors, a flamer, and 2 screamers<br /><br />3 of them gets you 3 disk heralds, 9 horrors, 3 flamers and 6 screamers. Not a terrible way to start an army. You'd need to buy more horrors and flamers and screamers, but still this costs<br /><br />3 flamers - 20<br />6 screamers - 60<br />10 horrors - 30<br />Herald on Disk (this is finecast of course) 40<br /><br />So 150 worth of models for 120. Less if you buy online. <br /><br />3 Burning Chariots 120<br />2 boxes of Flamers - 40<br />2 boxes of horrors - 60<br />4 boxes of screamers - 120<br /><br />340 bucks for a pure tzeentch army. If the heralds wind up working like a royal court, toss in an ushabti with some pilfered wings as a daemon prince, maybe a greater daemon and a soul grinder.<br />Occupy Terrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02585266186988933198noreply@blogger.com
