I own the model and like the idea as well as the role it fills in my tactics, but the tzeentchy facetul of wet tentacles really doesn't fit my molten heavy metal theme. Would anyone here have an issue with someone using the model with the slaughterhrute head, but the giant obvious vortex on its back, and twin tails, and still calling it a vortex beast? Or better yet, anyone know of any good alternate heads from other models or ranges? Its mostly a matter of the scale of the head, conversion work is no object. |

Build it how you like, it's your model and frankly if it has the vortex there's no confusing it, as there are no other models I can think of that it could represent. Honestly anyone having an issue with that can't be that much fun to play against ;) |

I see no issues with it either. the vortex is what makes it a vortex beast. btw, are you from around Rockford, IL? We have a guy around here doing a heavy metal chaos army here where all the musicians have different rock instruments. pretty cool theme in my opinion. |

That conversion is excellent! Not what I'm personally looking to do, obviously, but an awesome idea and execution. Thanks for the opinions guys, I have some internal need to keep my army as much as possible in the realm of acceptibility in tournaments, if not quite GW store ones. I'm sadly not the Illinois guy, but that concept sounds sweet. In my case I'm referring to a heavy elite platemail and artillery theme, including some fw chaos dwarves as counts-as or Tamurkhan allies. The idea is that the chaos lord general is actually marked by Hashut (long story) and has strong ties to the chaos dwarves... Going for a heated black metal look on an ashen mountains backdrop. I'll get around to starting an army journal asap. Thanks for the input. Edited by Heroesneverdie, Jul 25 2013, 10:08 PM.

Actually, Tamurkhan: Throne of Chaos has rules for using certain chaos dwarfs in a warriors of chaos army. |

I'm currently working on a multi-purpose beastie for my Mono-Khorne warriors and have used the Forge-fiend as a base, I'm magnetising parts so I can play it as a Slaughterbrute, Mutalith, Chimera or Manticore depending on the head/wing options (i'll post pics eventually!). It might be a thematic option for you Heroesneverdie, it comes with a load of demonic metal tentacles that could be used at the head to hive it the Mutalith look. Hi all BTW! Just |

according to the Armybook entry, the heads have no actual bearing on the rules. So as long as you had the big Vortex on it, what head you use wont matter in the least. And anyone who does raise a stink about it, needs to be taken out back of the game shop and beaten with a dice filled sock until they relent... Also, don't add the extra small arms to it either. Those do have model specific (Slaughterbrute) mechanics. |

Good advice Yoursword, I would've deeply regretted it had I done that... fortunately I tend to go overboard with things and have magnetized almost every optional component in the army. Still appreciate the heads up. Apollyon mentioned the Chaos Dwarfs in WoC armies thing, which I was aware of but I'm having trouble fully understanding how 'valid' those rules are for tournament play, which is sort of my litmus test for how I'm building this... I've heard all kinds of different explanations, that the whole book is valid, or none of it, or only the Chaos Dwarf army book portion. My concern is whether the WoC addon option is considered an unfair advantage given the lack of allies or similar supplements adding new options to all the other armies. Somebody more enlightened than me? Justice. The cake. You've taken it. You've given me an awesome idea... I have a forgefiend coming in the mail as we type, which I intended to use as a hellcannon with the three forgeworld daemonsmiths as crew. Making it convertible into a slaughterbro/mutalad is a great idea, but it invalidates the crazy expensive model I already bought... but what if I use those extra mechatentacles from the forgefiend to create my OWN tentacled mutalith head? A few mechanized looking components and armor plates and it'll fit right in! Now I'm excited. |
