I have an idea of utilizing the updated Lizardmen Carnosaur as a counts as Hydra.
Modeling Dark Elf Beastmasters (3 ish) riding then removing the large glyphs and obvious lizardmen ornaments while replacing them with chains/hooks/scars and other various Druchii encouragement techniques.
Do you expect much resistance or WTF is that moments? I lean towards a more competitive play style and only travel within the south west a couple times a year to "big" events.
Cold One Knights were the deciding factor in choosing Dark Elves in the first place. I think that it would fit right in next to my cold one cav and chariots, and if i ever add a Kharibdyss down the line there would be a clear distinction.
Apparently i need encouragement to drop the $$$ cause i only intend to use them in pairs lol

Re: Conversion Hypothesis
I would say go for it, but I'm probably biased as I usually prefer conversions to official models. They make the army more unique and eye-catching as well as often stressing a theme. Beastmasters breaking the Carnosaur might definitely look great.

Even without Games Workshop, we will endure. Armies of the Unsupported Age, the models are out there.

Re: Conversion Hypothesis
Go for it, a friend uses a Carnosaur as Kharibdyss and he looks awesome !
Re: Conversion Hypothesis
It may look ok but that is definitely worth a WTF moment. I would constantly think of that thing as a manticore or something.

Re: Conversion Hypothesis
Yeah, mounting a rider on it turns it from monster into steed... and therefore a character model.
Avoid the rider, and put beastmasters on the base and it should work.
