While outfitting my Chaos Lord, I decided to make his combat familiar on a seperate base, so it could be equipped/unequipped as necessary, and I realized there were nigh-infinite possibilities on how to represent such an addition.

Thusly and therefore: Dakka, what are your personal favorite combat familiars, either existing models or just cool ideas you have.

Carry on.

I use the Epic-scale Magnus the Red as my Spell Familiar. For a Combat Familiar, I could see doing the same thing with Epic Fulgrim, Angron, or Mortarian...or any of the Epic Greater Daemons.

I used a chaos warhound, as my combqat famillar, on my nurgle lord/sorcerer on a bike i used a pair of nurglings.

The little suit of armor with the sword from the Famous Familiars collection. (And the walking book for a spell familiar).

My plan was to magnetise bases and familiars (Nurglings, scarabs from tomb kings, spiders from goblins? scorpions from somewhere, little impy things from wood elves etc) so I could add them to the bases or shoulders etc. when necessary. I like magnetising options though ; p
