I just can't get the Chaos Spawn I want at the moment. I do, however, have a box of 10 Chaos Warhounds and 8 40mm round bases.

If they are built upon cork and painted/snow-based in a convincing way with a suitable height, would you think they are reasonable counts-as for Spawn considering my current situation?

Surely anything is better than using empty bases as Chaos Spawn.

Umm yeah! better than an empty base mate :-) and i'm 100% sure we'll want to see them painted too lol. this for friendly games right?

Some TO's here allow fast-food cups to be used as Drop Pods so if I use them in a tournament and they're painted like the rest of my stuff, I hope I'll be okay! I just like to ask others' opinions so I feel better about using odd counts-as.

They'll have tentacles and stuff all over them to make them bulkier.

Oh well then! tentacles or testicles all over will certainly make them Spawny! I cannot see a problem especially if others have used Styro cups as drop pods lol!
