Simo429 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm using this at the moment, it has breasts so is far superior to a bird http://clawsandfists.blogspot.com/2011/02/...ew-chooser.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222568-chooser-of-the-slain/#findComment-2660971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki-LaughingDeath Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 :lol: really? That is what GW is going with on the DE release schedule? They look great as ravens, not so sure about them being some vicious alien creature though.

Frontline989 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 One thing to note is that per he rules the Chooser model must be smaller than the rune priest. With the flying bases not sure where that puts it height wise.

Brother Karr Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 they are attached together by the wing. if you use GW's large picture you can see where they overlap to form one wing/bird Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222568-chooser-of-the-slain/#findComment-2661136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taeken Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I've ordered a set of the birds for CoS. I plan to cut em apart and model them on flying bases. But if someone doesnt like that they are too tall, then I can pop off the clear plastic rod and slot in a nifty (yet to be made) short tree limb that the CoS will be taking off from. It should make em shorter than an RP. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222568-chooser-of-the-slain/#findComment-2661300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growler67 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Okay I'm on my phone so if this gets "jacked" I didn't mean it. Prior to my first peek at the new DE models, the simplest option for medoling CotS to me was to just use a Servo Skull. Readily available from GW and except maybe not being a very "flavorfulL option, certainly a do-able option fluff wise. Finding appropriately scaled flying critters from other gaming lines within and outside of GW has been a quest for many, best I can tell. I recently found a small collection in a bits box while I was looking for something else. I have NO idea where or when I acquired them and you'll have to wait until tomorrow afternoon before I can get a picture posted. These new DE models will make this a far easier thing than it once used to be. Not having seen them first hand, the scale may be the only possible drawback. We'll see.

Growler67 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Okay, here are the things I found in one of my Bits Boxes. My recent Rune Priest for scale. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/tyggrr65/Models/DSC02150-Crop.jpg Left to right there is: an Eagle, Vilture, Crow, plastic Vulture, Servo Skull and Servo Skull with Iron Halo. These would make great CoS representations and the new DE releases may as well. GW does intend some crossover and once in a while they actually get things right.

LoneSniperSG Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I use the Raven/Crow thing found in the Empire General plastic kit. It comes modeled as being perched on a shield. I snipped off the legs and glued it to a 25mm base with a few odds and ends and it looks as though it's picking through the rubble for anything tasty left over. Bottom left http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqIOKj&a....7tQ5w~~_12.JPG The second one I use is a servo-skull with the really long tails that are found in the Cadian Command Squad box. Eagles are a good idea, but I think that a Raven or Crow would be a better fit with the celtic/viking SW vibe.

Wulfebane Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Just a head's up, I went to order these today along with some other junk (totalling over $50) and because the birds are a pre-order (I assume), it bugged the order and tried to charge me shipping. Removing the birds from my order corrected the issue. Just something to be aware of for anyone making $50+ purchases and expecting free shipping.

Valhalla Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 If you're looking for a cheap CotS model try this. https://store.privateerpress.com/index.asp?...amp;ProdID=7167 Only $1 per pop and works well.

LoneSniperSG Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Now when the rule says it has to be smaller than the RP model, can it still be mounted on a 25mm base? One of mine is real short and the other is tall but paper-thin, so I'm not terribly sure about the legality of the second one.

MaveriK Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 you know, call me crazy.. but I just thought of an idea for a chooser model. Although granted it's larger model than normal, how about having a Fenrisian carrying some war drums into battle that doubles as a spotter for the Rune Priest?!

Although granted it's larger model than normal, how about having a Fenrisian carrying some war drums into battle that doubles as a spotter for the Rune Priest?! Choosers are stationary and "immortal" throughout the battle. Not to mention you lose the mysticism behind it.

MaveriK Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 actually I was going for the cool factor, instead of a typical standard looking model. I imagined a chooser dressed in rags, covered in tribal tattoos who is seen constantly beating his war drums. Calling forth the sons of Russ, as packs of Grey armored warriors slowly march into the battle, ready to unleash their murder-make. I mean how intimidating would it be, for the enemy to see this lone brave warrior who is unable to be killed, while he constantly beats his war drums. Knowing that, the wolves will descend from the pits of Morkai and bring death to the enemies of Russ. But I guess your right! you lose out on the mysticism, especially the originality behind it all.

Wulfebane Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Don't get me wrong, I think it's an awesome idea! I just don't think it'd suit for a Chooser... a Standard Bearer however..... =O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222568-chooser-of-the-slain/#findComment-2668705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
