This is an army concept pitch.

The new Chaos Knights are so amazing, oh, and the Marauders, too. A really cool army would use the Bretonnians list (for all heavy cavalry) with chaos knights as stand-ins.

.

I’d start with three units of Chaos Knights (using the Knights of the Realm and Questing Knights entries) each nine strong. Marauders converted to have bows would make up the supporting role (using the Yeomen entry). A few war machines crewed by chaos marauders (perhaps drawing from the LotR line, or just using the mind-blowingly good Hellcannon model) make up a respectable back line. And they can take care of problem units .

.

The new Chaos Knights box retails for a modest $22.

.

Another idea: convert a few Chaos Knights with bat wings (using the Pegasus Knight entry). Dark Pegasus Knights.

.

Hero types and Prophetesses are easily converted using the basic Chaos Knight kit pieces. Same for battle standard bearer (a requirement in a bretonnian army).

.

Instead of “Virtues” they would have “Curses”.

Cost is as follows, approximately:

$4 per model for cost of cavalry model

$5 per model for assembly

$15 per model for painting

OR

$12 per model for painting (with artistic license)

OR

$11 per model for painting at L2

OR

$10 per model for painting at L2 with Artistic License

.

You’d need about 40-60 mounted models, I think, for a full army.
