So as keen as i am to spend 15 bucks per dude for my deathstar beast pack at 5 khymeras thats 75 dollars.
i was looking at the chaos war hounds or the vampire count wolf packs from fantasy as you get 10 in a pack it allows some expansion.
Just add some green stuff for the tentacle things and i think the would look pretty good.

Opinions?

I'd go with lotr wargs as a base, myself.

One of the guys in my club used spare gaunt limbs and wargs for his (all plastic).

No GS involved (just a 3mm drill bit to make the sockets for the arms).

Please spread the word....

These guys are <3 $4 each compared to GW's $14
don't they look alike? ( Rackham made them long before GW )

The Chaos Warhounds or LOTR Wargs are by far your best bet. One thing to consider is that the Wargs will appear a bit smaller, as they're "truescale" versus "heroscale".

The Dire Wolves from the Vampire Counts however are not a very good idea. They have lots of exposed internal organs, bones, etc that wouldn't look so great even for a Khymera.

Rackham Confrontation Scorpion Syhar Sighthounds.
