So I'm now open to suggestions. I want the army tournment legal - what's that 90% GW models - but I'm happy to mix in fantasy or other 40k forces into the mix. I will of course be using the GK codex to keep it legal.

 

I found some non GK models for Jokaero I like

Ape-X Super Villain - Reaper miniatures

Guerilla - Pulp City

 

Are there better GW ones?

 

How would you get a dark hooded look for the Skitarii.? Or would you use Steel legion or DKOK?

What models would you suggest for Corteaz and Inquisitor. Just convert the standard models a bit or something entirely different?

Do I need to remodel the chims and stromraven? Or just paint them to scheme?

How would you alter the dreadnought to look more robotic? Would you use treads for feet?

 

I'm starting to buy all the models now. Any suggestions are appreciated.
