4 horsemen of the Apocalypse

[Deraj]

Now that I'm getting rid of my Orcs and Gobbos I'm getting a bit bored due to lack of conversions. My dark elves have no interesting heroes really so I'm looking to the future, and after long hours of thinking, I've come up with starting a mortals of chaos army. Since that will be in a long time, I may as well make some random lords, and I want to make the biblical 4 horsemen as put forth here.

For the first time I am at a loss for ideas on what to use as the models though, which is where I would like your guys' help. My ideas are:

White horse: A wood elf Wild Rider's horse with the wild rider's lower body, the upper body of a glade guard with a bow, and the head of an errant knight with a green stuffed crown.

Red Horse: I was thinking him with a different head.

Black Horse: I was probably going to use this guy and cut off his sword, putting a set of scales in it's place.

Pale green horse: A nurgle lord on his horse followed by her, him, or them.

I'm not 100% on any of these choices, and I really don't know about the red one, so please, any suggestions are welcome.

Theres your four horsemen!

[Deraj]

I was indeed thinking Archaon for the red, and the other Chaos lord for Death with the nurlge one as famine, but none of those seem to work for the white horseman...

[grunt90]

well thats where green stuff and creativity comes to surface.

Also seems like it would work pretty coolly.

[grunt90]

that coudl work, just paint it white instead

White guy needs to look "good" so I'll use one of the 20 year old male looking heads from an Errant knight and he needs a bow. Only a bow...

I think a conversion from an Ellyrion Reaver would look good, the White Horsmen is based on a Parthian Horse Archer right?

Its a cool idea, wont leave you many points for an army at 2000, with 4 mounted heros though lol.

Oh, I don't plan on using them all at once. The Red one would be Khorney, the "pale/green" one would be nurgley, the black one a sorceror, and the white one may be a sorceror too, I'm not sure yet.


I think I would have to use a different head for the Ellyrion reaver, as well as changing out the spear for a bow, which shouldn't be hard. Are they plastic?


And I read through their rules.... cheesey as everything high elf, 360 degree vision for a cav unit...
