If you choose Nurgle or Tzeentch then plaguebearers and horrors are expensive metal models.

If you choose Khorne or Slaanesh then fiends and bloodcrushers are expensive models.

You gotta get creative! Gors make great plaguebearers and dryads make awesome pink horrors. For fiends I bought a box goblin spider riders, cut the heads off the spiders and add damonotte torsos/heads/arms to make spider centaurs. 10 Fiends for $50

For Blood Crushers I bet Chaos Knights might fit the bill.

Im just not a big fan of people not getting to play what they want cause of $$$.

Chaos knights will look too much like Chaos knights, and they are too small for the correct sized base to use for a blood crusher. If you want to get creative buy a box of killer kans and combine it with a blood letter to create 3 mechanical/deamon hybrids where the blood letters are partially encased in a mechanical exoskeleton with drill bits and saw blades.

Hmm, maybe bloodletters on chaos knight steeds or better yet use the new plastic minotaurs and khorne them up a bit? I have 6 of the actual blood crusher models and honestly I wish I had come up with a suitable plastic replacement that could be carried from place to place without worrying constantly about damaging the models.
