    That is the only head that didn't make it into the set. Considering you can make pretty much every other warrior type from this box that with maybe a little bit of conversion for back banners, and I think it's a worthy sacrifice to have to go buy eagle Warriors somewhere else or convert them otherwise

    I would have preferred Eagle Warrior heads be included as well as Jaguar Warrior heads to complete the set, but I can imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to greenstuff eagle beaks and eyes onto the jaguar hoods (over the jaguar snouts and eyes) and cut off the jaguar ears.

    Feathers could then be greenstuffed onto the Jaguar Warrior robes, though you'll need a lot of patience (and greenstuff) to see it done for a whole regiment of them.

    That's the entire reason why it got scrapped.

    The feathered Tlahuiztli would have required a separate body, not to mention the separate arms and head.

    This way we only have to source One of the warrior societies from an alternative miniature source. And you can do 99% of everything else with this kit

    You can even do two captive warriors, which I haven't seen before except in metal

    I literally just completed two more stands of Jaguar Warriors. Two left to go before I can move on to another unit.

    Nice work on your Host of Zlatlan! The saurus look good in a massive horde.

    Thanks Warden. Both projects are ongoing, and I think I'm mainly going to swap between them this year.

    For example, I'm currently finishing out the unit of Jaguar warriors.

    After that, I have a unit of medium spearmen with shields, and a unit of archers.

    3 units of 20 from the first two boxes.

    I just got in my weekly stock order from wargames atlantic. which included 3 boxes I bought for myself for this project.

    those next two boxes will make:

    20 2nd captive warriors with macahuitl

    20 1rst captive warriors in medium armor with macahuitl

    20 unarmored novice warriors with macahuitl

    The final box in this shipment will be used to make at least 2 command stands, as well as a few other conversions.

    Took 6 Jaguar warriors to stage 2, and did preliminary basecoats on some of the new 10mm stuff.

    I don't know how much I will feasibly accomplish over the next few days, but my goal is to finish the Jaguar warrior unit and move on.

    Great work on these I pove the vibrant colors you are using. Great icons on the shield and the spotted skins look very cool too.

    Are there any other unit types for thia army as well?

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Well apparently that photo didn't load.

    Here's what I got done last night. 9 infantry, with the tester 2 thrown in. Rest of the unit will be progressed over the weekend and should be finished by Monday afternoon assuming my time does not go elsewhere which most definitely could.

    Nice! The few with different colored pelts add another nice blip of color to the unit, really well done.

    Thanks. I was concerned it was to many, but I'm glad it's just enough.

    I have been issued a challenge by my friend, Toramasa, who plays deepkin.

    So I dug out my AoS stuff and I had a choice between skaven and FEC.

    My Flesh eater courts scheme also share a few colors with my current project, so tandem projects it is
