Minsc Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I played Warriors of Chaos in 8th Ed. WFB when the Mutalith was introduced. I didn't like the Mutalith back then, and I still don't like it now. It's also quite expensive. So, anyone have any ideas for a fitting alternative model for the Mutalith?

BoomWolf Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I've seen someone suggest that giant beetle thing from fantasy elf goddess model (whatever she's called) Won't fit for fantasy, but works well for a thousand sons army, being a beetle and all.

Khannis Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Unfortunately Tomb Kings kits will bankrupt you these days, and I don't REALLY think Alarielle's beetle really fits, but it's not a terrible idea.You could try a chimera of some sort (Chaotic or from other companies), but I don't think it QUITE fits as well. I don't really like the Mutalith model as well, but I think it's very hard to find a suitably chaotic model that looks better, fits the size, and blends well with the aesthetic of the army. The Sphinx does all those things, but I don't really have an arm and a leg to spare...

Thousand Eyes Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I thankfully have a Necrosphinx I am planning on using, pure luck though.

Nym Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I plan on gluing the mouth tentacles of the Mutalith on a Maulerfiend body and to put the vortex thingy on its back.

hhhdan Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'll probably use Alarielle's beetle, as it is a great model and of a suitable size too :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344087-alternative-model-for-the-mutalith/#findComment-5006126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archaeinox Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I am combining the following items to make my Mutalith Vortex Beast: -Balewind Vortex -40k Flier base (the big oval one the Heldrake has) -Spirit Hosts The spirit hosts will be twirling around the vortex funnel and will all be glowing ethereal green. I am going to put something on top but have no idea what yet. I was thinking about scratching the entire idea except the base and spirit hosts, and having a floating Sanakht bound by chains like a demon host......... Because Athenaeum, amirite? No one around here would really mind it.

Raven1 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The problem I see with an alternative model to the mutilith vortex beast. There is not a good cheap alternative. When i look for alternative models I look at cost first otherwise I just stick with the normal model. Though I like the vortex beast model.
