Mentat Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I'm going to build a couple of Chariots of Tzeentch. After searching the Internet and several forums, it seems everyone has done the standard "2 screamers and a disk of Tzeentch" build. I'm looking for some creative idea for a chariot, something different than the standard. I considered making a cloud with a herald riding in it (inspired by Super Mario World, which is obviously set on a Tzeentch daemon world), but it was a little too silly and the cotton balls wouldnt be durable enough... I thought that since I play 40k mostly (daemons are no challenge in WFB), some sort of archaic looking tech device would be cool, and searched for "ancient astronauts" on google for some ideas. I was thinking of making something like this http://www.skeptic.com/eskeptic/07-04-25images/mayan_rocket.jpg but realized he was riding a dark eldar jetbike. This is another possibility http://bkondepudi.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/aeroplane1.jpg but I'm not sure how I could build it to look cool. I decided to do something inspired by the first picture by mixing a dark eldar jetbike and a necron destroyer body. But I thought I would post before I make the final decision and see if anyone has any creative ideas for a Chariot of Tzeentch.

Solid Zaku Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 The best idea I've got is to cannibalize the howdah from the Stegadon from the Lizardmen line and cut it in a way that it makes a sort of dais around the Sorcerer's Chariot of Tzeentch. A cheaper way might be to find a friend who plays Lizardmen and ask him for some of the battle standards he may have lying about. On the second one, I would recommend taking a Grot Bomb, carving out the Grot, placing in a Daemonic familiar and cutting off the Orkier parts. Apparently Nostradamus flew in Sputnik...

Mentat Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 I like the grot bomb idea, but it might not be weird enough. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204526-chariot-of-tzeentch/#findComment-2439006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locmac Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 My chariot is a slightly modified tomb kings one, sertta's or something like that. I'm totally stealing your idea though!

Gubnutz Da Grim Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I would like to see the chariot being an huge all seeing eye of Tzeentch. I think that since the eye figures prominently in the Tzeentch art/fluff etc this would be pretty cool. Could have it multicolored to reflect the ever changing nature of Tzeentch as well. Just my 2 cents. Gub Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204526-chariot-of-tzeentch/#findComment-2443462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godhead Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 My chariots of tzeentch is going to be the flying nazghull from the lord of the rings line. I like the model and i feel like it just fits seeing as it loses IC status.

Blitzkreig Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 1. Grab an Eldar Jetbike. 2. Convert up some Harley Davidson style handlebars. 3. Grab something that looks like a Horror. 4. Model it so that it looks like he is hooning along, holding on for dear life.

Graypaint Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Here's my take on it: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/3/12/89684_sm-.JPG (I think this is a WIP image) If you really zoom this one in the chariot is in the background near my laptop: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/4/2/95244_sm-.JPG Just a parts list if you want to do something similar: Chaos Spawn Empire Wizard head/smoky skull thing Tau Piranha I was going to do an Eldar version as well but never got around to it. Tz Chariots are really pretty cool and you can use up to four of them. They are also super fun conversions if you think outside the box.

10thkingdom Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 My Chariot of T'Zeentch is the Fantasy Orc Chariot pulled by two boars. I have a High Elf female model with a Spear riding the chariot. There is a torso and head from an Eldar being pierced by the front of the chariot. From there I have various additions. A large flame coming from one of the wagon tires, a knife from the other tire, a few chaos heads adorn the chariot for some spice. I chose a High Elf chick for my Herald cause I run a pure female model army (any model that is male has been given sculpted breasts).

Mentat Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Thanks for the ideas, I've been busy lately but I managed to get some old style dark eldar jetbikes. I'm going to use some random bitz I have around and try to build these things after the holidays.

Templar of Steel Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 What about a really big disk with a railing on it? That was my plan. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204526-chariot-of-tzeentch/#findComment-2756440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorne Inquisitor Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 My chariot of tzeentch is 2 screamers pulling a small flying base flipped upside down with GS and bitz to give it 4 spikes on the edges and the GS is modeled to make the surface look like tormented faces. The rider is a horror with another horror jumping out of it's mouth (sorta like the old metal one, but in this the whole horror has emerged). The chain is a small modeling chain from AC Moore, gloss black so it doesn't have to be painted. It gives the model a cool chariot look. I did the floating eyeball (reminiscent of Goatboy's from BoLS) for my tzeentch DP. Works great, and really fun to model. If you like the idea, it works as a chariot and is really fun with impressive results at the end that earn a lot of "oohs" and "ahs" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/204526-chariot-of-tzeentch/#findComment-2767867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
