This was good timing as I'm doing Warriors of Chaos for TOW and I'm using the AoS models because I really like the sculpts. I did (in the 90s) have a 5k chaos army (my parents gave away all my stuff) so doing a new army with AoS as opposed to the multipart kit of the late 90s was a must. I have actually brought a few of the old metal Chaos Warriors to mix in with the AoS ones just to add a little quirkiness and potentially give little extra wiggle room for the new plastic.

I literally just finished basing up some Chaos Warriors and am starting on Knights shortly, so this gave me a good idea on how to rank them up.

The awful push fit knights from the old Start Collecting box are truly the worst GW minis I’ve built in a long time.

I had to cut the arms off that one marauder warband that uses bone weapons and re-pose them, for example. Good thing the absolute heights of the new CWs are actually about the same as the old ones, can't say the same with the CKs, however. Shame about those wolf riders tho -- they had the same problem I had with new Chaos Knights on 25x50 MM bases -- their tails are too long. Problem is, the CKs seems to fit on the bigger base, but the wolf riders don't look like it. Why anyone would need more than 5 of them is anyone's guess...

The idea of individual bases is a design choice I wish had been left in the past. I play DBA and Le d'Art de Guerre and while figures per base is encouraged to telling what a unit is, there is nothing to stop and use the KOW scenic based (also used in Impetus for Ancients). Also easier to transport!

Great video, where are the bases and movment trays from ? Also could you get Saurus warriors ranked ? It seemed like they wont due to the tails.

Curious about morbheg knights - they would make a beautiful proxy for vargheists but their current bases are massive! Spirit hosts as well seem troublesome on 40mm. And if you do monsters etc black coach and vargulf would be really interesting to see.
@MediocreHobbies10 ай бұрын
Well spirit hosts were originally on 40mm so shouldn’t have a problem there. As for the Morbheg I have no idea.

Love it. Honestly dude, Commendable what you did. I just said screw it and will get trays that fit the unit, and play on the circle bases. NO one got time for that crap. GW didn't realize how popular this game was gonna be and dropped the ball for supply and demand. The thing that I love about this new game already is how creative some people are getting with their minis / models. It's retro.

You can try using 60x30, 60x60 bases (or gluing several 30x30 bases together) as unit fillers and putting several warriors closer to the centers of these bases so they don't stick out too much

I think Saurus Warriors are going to be a challenge to rank up. I tried it already and even if you use the ones thrusting their spears foreward in the second rank, the ones in the first rank, despite holding them low on their dise overlap the bases and the movement tray in the front quite a bit, which makes getting into contact with an enemy unit a bit of a problem. In the best case, you stand a coumpe of inches appart, in the worst case you break some of the spears. Ranking those Saurus Worriors up is also harder than one might think because their tails are long and all over the place. I managed to rank some of them up, until I realized that I had not tested it with the shields mounted, which also makes quite a difference. I love the models but I think they are just not made for the Old World.

I honestly didn't have a whole lot of trouble with getting the knights to rank up. I haven't attempted the chaos warriors yet though. I really don't need to because I have enough of the old ones anyway. I reserved the new ones for my AoS army.
