So basically, i kinda saw the video and got a bit inspired. Realising that my army isn't all that transportable ( due to having enough bodies really) i kinda decided, why not make an ethereal style army that is rather small.

I kinda decided why not make a Necromancy themed army: in this case the ethereal part comes from the list beein AL and a lot of Nurgle marks aswell as DA's which will be made up into Necromancers.

Question now would be, how would you integrate bones / Skeleton parts for these ?
How would you design their Cultists (i'd imagine a bunch of zombies + guardsmen bobs could work well)?
Terminators?

Etc.

Raptors maybee could be crossed over by using the AoS ghost units?

Any ideas on which Skeleton parts might work ?

Use Skeletons as Mutants, Spirit Hosts as Spawn, Dire Wolves as Mutants, Zombies as Mutants, Crypt Ghouls as Spawn, put Skeleton heads on Anvil Regiments/Cadians/DKoK to use as Cultists or basically any R&H unit... Cairn Wraiths could be Malefic Lords, Hexwraiths could be Rough-Riders...

Remember Mordrak and his Ghost Knights? You could paint the CSM in a ghostly green type of scheme, give them Skeleton heads, have one Sorceror painted in a 'proper' way and have them be the Necromancer controlling everything.

Or a cabal of Sorcerors, in service to a Lord. Or something.

Actually thought more along the line of a 1000 pts supplement army (basically the legion would be AL

2 xDA with -1 to hit prayer. (these would be the necromancers) that would be the controlling Cabal, alongside 1 Sorcerer (slaanesh) with the FNP power. (298 pts)

The core would be 20 CSM bodies used with some skeleton heads marked as slaanesh and some choice heavy weapons, Probably missile launchers. (340pts)

Another 30 cultists as zombies? (150 pts , also they can be recycled fluffy and usefull)

that would be 788pts

So, Spirit Host Spawn? Much cheaper than actual Spawn and come on the same bases, fits the aesthetic and gives the list some speed and some cc bite.

Another 30 Cultists? You could mix and match different mini-lines; have some Skull-Headed Cadians/Anvil in with the Zombies and Skeletons.

cairn wraiths as spawn would actually not be a half bad idea.
I will probably go with regular anvil zombies, since their trenchcoat ones look just like my 31. Mechanized.

I'm not sure the Wraiths are big enough to convincingly depict Spawn.

That would be the leader, for the cultists i am going to use the poxwalkers i had sitting around for ages.
