Tzerald WIP, looking for feedback

[Rageaholic]

I need some Heralds of Tzeench, I initially bought the Tzerald on Disc model, but I now realise that being on a disc makes him cavalry and does him out of a look our sir save in 90% of circumstances. I could just put him on an infantry base but I'm thinking he may be of more use in 40k, and the model was so expensive I dont want to waste the disc.

So I needed one on foot. Initially I was planning to make him the BSB, but you an manage without at lower point levels. This is my first attempt, he is a tzeench sorceror with horror arms and a head to replace the horrible skinny arms he normally has. The head looked OK, but I think it might have looked a bit daft in the unit with my horrors. I'm pretty pleased with how this is looking.



The second one is a Tzeench champion with the horror banner left arm added. I'm not so keen on this one, it looks a bit unbalanced with the standard right arm, I could do the same again and give him a horror right arm, but because of the pose that will be pretty difficult to make look good.



Ideas and feedback are much appreciated.

the first one looks good, i dont think you need to change a thing (besides paint it up obviously)

the second one... well... im not a fan of the tzeentch champion model, and the way the staff sticks out at an angle is a bit... i dunno... it doesnt seem right if you know what i mean. I have a tendency to use bloodletter standard bearer arms/hands as i find they are more often than not straight up an down.

though saying that, because of the amount of bloodletter boxes i've bought i have an abundance of bloodletters bits laying around, so i've no worry about botching a hack and slash then greenstuff, because i can just throw out the part if i do such a bad job. so i guess it depends on if you can hack up some stuff without worry.

oh, don't throw the disc away or use it for 40k, you will want it for blue scribes, they require a disc... with that said... what with the rumors that a blue scribes model is just round the corner... do you want to customize your own model so close... decisions decisions

The first one is looking good so far. With a normal Horror head and the Horror arms though, I think you'll want to add fancy bits of some kind to differentiate it from a normal Horror. Flames, scrolls, etc.

The second one: I like the model, I like the pose, I don't like the banner. It's just a normal Horror standard, so there is nothing to make it stick out as a BSB. I would go for one of the special Tzeentch icons that GW sells, or just add a normal banner hanging off of the existing icon. The Bloodletter one would work pretty well for example.
