    So I'm looking at adding some free Guild allies to my stormcast Army. I wanted to do a variation on Duncan's spearmen made out of tzeentch and stormcast parts.

    however I did want a differentiated and I wanted to have multiple versions so that I could make all the different various forms of freeguild guard.

    this is also my first attempt at painting and I have to say it was extremely fun and enjoyable to learn.

    Finally before I show a photo I'm trying to find some interesting heads preferably helmeted that I can use to give this guy a noggin. Any thoughts would be appreciated and do keep in mind that I do want to differentiate this from Duncan's conversion.

    [​IMG]
    ...an unpainted reference picture.

    Maybe an explanation of where all the parts hail from? :writing: If anyone knows.

    There weren't any associated with the ref pic I found.

    Those bodies look like Kairic Acolytes.
    The shields are Stormcast Eternals, the weapons also look like SCE (not 100% sure) and the heads.... I don't know.

    Heads are bloodbound and marauder with adjustment

    Weapons are a pinned SCE Parry blade on some form of spear

    Ahhh, that's why the heads looked familiar.

    To be fair, the barbute shares similarity to the Corinthian helmet

    Sure, its development was heavily inspired by it.

    I’m all for this sort of thing - I’ve been looking for similar sorts of things to convert Idoneth Namarti Thralls into Sea Elf Hoplites, as I don’t really like the blind bald aesthetic of the Namarti but I love the Corinthian helmets worn by the Eel Cavalry.
