I'm wanting to add a unit of chaos trolls to the chaos army i have underway.
My first thought was chaos spawn, using only the more basic parts and green stuffing on scales and horns to the back to fill in the gaps provided to add extra mutations. The heads i would make from scratch, and some may carry weapons (probably from black orcs). For throgg i would use the new plastic daemon prince with no wings, axe and a new head. Secondly i could just by the daemon prince arms and use them on a spawn, wich i could beef up with greenstuff and make him generally bigger and more distinctive.
Or, alternatively use the throgg i already have who has been converted similiarly from belakor but only if he is big enough next to the spawn.
The other alternative is to use heavily green stuffed minitaurs, with new heads (scratch built or from river trolls) with the new doom bull representing my throgg. These would look far chunkier and solid, but less beastial.
Both ideas would cost much the same, £9 a troll, £25 throgg give or take a few quid. And both would regire equal work. So, what are your thoughts? Please please PLEASE dont say "Why not just use the super sexy new river trolls?", because i really dont like them. Too cartoony for the rest of my army, and too fat, and i can think of a suitable throgg that would work well in a unit with them (other than using another hideous river troll to re[present him).
So, what do you think?
