A magic carpet ride Jul 2, 2010 20:12:30 GMT

With a Magic Carpet now in the WFB 8th ed common magic items list I fancied mounting a Chaos Champion on one as a nice wee option. I have just the model for the character but I was wondering if anyone knew of a good 28mm magic carpet option out there?

I could go for something monstrously Nurgly as a flying option but I thought it would be more fun to have an actual magic carpet under his feet.

Warhammer - Empire, Tomb Kings, Nurgle Daemons, Warriors of Chaos.
Mordheim - Witch Hunters, Skaven
Blood Bowl - Wood Elves, Skaven
Man O' War - Empire, Dwarfs, Chaos
Warmachine - Cryx
Hordes - Gators
Urban War - Triads
Space Dreadnought 3000 - Some spaceshippy things

If your up for a bit of conversion, could alway heat up a bit of 0.5mm or 1mm think Plasticard/styrene for the shape/wave's in the material (carpet would be made from). Then use bits from the Chaos Spawn or the Nids box set for that Nurgle feel, as well as adding a bit of green stuff.
Bit like your Chaos Chariot.

Or the model John shown look pretty cool & the above can still be done for the nurgle effect.

I dread to think what heinous crime an Ultramarine must commit to be banished to the Eye of Terror. Did you turn left instead of right on the parade ground? Forget to say your prayers in the morning?

I could probably manage to do something with the surface of it too. Cheers.

A champion of Khorne would have an Axeminster, and a Champion of Slaanesh would love a nice shagpile... I got nothin' for Nurgle.

My old carpet from my student hovel 20 years ago might qualify as a Nurgle carpet.

	8th just plays differently, you'll just have to adapt to the changes, if you can't then I'd argue your not a competent Warhammer player.
