Right with unbound armies a thing, I can now do a themed list ive always wanted to do. Fateweaver and 4 lord of changes. Now I dont think the loc are that bad tbh, but I want them to look different and have more character.

So has anyone got any conversion ideas using the actual model and gw bitz. All help will be much appreciated.

Make them different - use the GW model as a single one, of course - but also make them from Tyranids, Daemon princes, maybe out of a Wraithlord!

Looking at the GW site, these Warhammer kits look like they hold a ton of conversion possibilities: Lizardmen Ripperdactyls, the Dark Elf War Hydra, Beastmen Minotaurs, the creatures holding the Chaos Warshrine, and the Chaos Lord on Manticore. If it's small enough, the new Wood Elf Treeman might work out.

Yes, four birdy-themed LoCs might be difficult to find models for. You could extend the birdy theme to also include dragon-ish (i.e. 'bat'-winged) models, so long as you can convert them to not look like dragons.

Another option would be to play up the mutation theme and make them look like giant Chaos Spawn...
