Hi, so I want to get this for a friend:
http://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=9
and tell him to use them as "PlagueBEARers". But are they the right size?
and how many plaguebearers can you have in an army?

**Chaos Lord Gir**

considering they are a Chaos Daemons troop choice- plenty of them! I believe they come in squads of 5-20 like all other daemon troop choices, codex not on hand.

EDIT

Also at the pun, I see what you did there.

**purplefood**

In a Daemon army? Dunno i think they're a troops choice...
Damn that looks awesome

**Chaos Lord Gir**

Well Nurgle is suppost to be a playfull and childish god, but if I saw somone place those on the table I'd wonder if Tim Burton had defected to the Lord of Decay :s

I'm surprised he hasn't already... though i think he'd be a Lord of Change man...

**Chaos Lord Gir**

He'd combine the joyful decay of Nurgle with a twisting scheme of Tzneetch and followed with the decadent style of slaanesh. Reminds me of somthing...

**purplefood**

Your picture... it does not work.

**Chaos Lord Gir**

Well Im implying the movie more than that image

To be honest so many of his films fit that description i'm having a hard time... The boogyman from The Nightmare before Christmas?

**Chaos Lord Gir**

Just NBC in general. Full of plot twists, giant playful green things made from less than desierable things and a gothic undertone Slaneesh would be proud of. although Burton does have some truely strange things in his movies.

**MechaEmperor7000**

That thing looks like the Tediz from Conker's Bad Fur Day.

**Mannahnin**

I love it, but I think it's too small. Plaguebearers are usually used for cheap durable objective holders. Substituting a model that's significantly smaller than the normal model is a problem, because they're easier to hide.

**MechaEmperor7000**

Maybe he can put them on rocks? That would compensate for the height difference.

**shrike**

I don't know how big plaguebearers are.
how big are they?
what's the minimum per unit?
what weapons do they have?

**Mannahnin**

Plaguebearers are about the same size as other GW man-sized models.

They come in sizes from 5-20, either in the Daemons book or as generic Lesser Daemons in a Chaos SM list.

I think they technically have "plagueswords", which is really just poisoned attacks, in the Daemons book. No particular weapons in CSM. There's no variation in equipment in the squad, so that makes that easy.

**shrike**

can you get them in C:CSM?

I know they're lesser daemons in C:CSM, but how many are in each squad?
and are there any other things these little bears can immitate? they all have CCW's.

**Viktor von Domm**

i´d use corpses to raise the mini then so to make it higher and legit...

vik

**shrike**

Well, I'll buy them first for my friend, then tell him to make the model taller via it standing on some rocks or something.

**Viktor von Domm**

or even better do yourself some slain teddy bears for raising that one...that way he would stay in/above character^^

and you could simply try to get a cookiecutter for myking the slain models ....

Have you ever played naught bear? This is what it's about:

This is what my little gift will turn out to be.

**Footsloggin**

Anyway... Yes, Plaugebearers come in squads of 5-20, and so, you can technically fit 120 of them into a list... Not that you'd want to unless your running Epidemus, but...

They are great at holding objectives, and really have the lasting power to stay on the board.

**shrike**

Since there are only 3 per kit, should I:
a) buy something less funny but can use in-game
b) get it as a model peice, not for games
c) use it as a different unit?

what chaos/daemon unit would it suit?
maybe buy another 2 of these and count as bezerkers...

**Wi1ikers**

I actually dont think there much shorter then a plaguebearer. Someone at a local store told me he purchased a couple so I could let you know once i see them. But if they do end up being to small, you could use them as objective markers.

**Viktor von Domm**

whao i am now only thinking when will the mods come and do something biut then i think this is after all a board where demons and stuff are shown on a regular basis...

cruel teddy...that part with the burning barrel is ...loled my ass off^^

i made a medic once out of two catachan blasttroopers for a gift, but your idea is so much more win^^

**shrike**

That teddy, in the game, wasn't invited to a party for the teddy "daddles". He went anyway to give his present to daddles, but on the way other teddies made fun of him. So he did something about it.

anyway- they are 2cm tall (apparently), and with creative basing can be SM-height. So bezerkers=win?
He already has 20, so if I get him 4 sets of these (12), and then I keep 2 (I love these), then he has another squad. And imagine them charging towards you on a tabletop...

and vik- I already told you! MOD's are allergic to you!

**Viktor von Domm**

so i just raise my slighhtly danty hand and the just push off...well i should charge and advertise for that deed....OT is the right place to do that?

**shrike**

do what?

**Viktor von Domm**

well appear in a thread and then no mods there^^

could raise me a fortune...

i could even get paid by minis^^
