Cold One Chariot - Is there one avaliable soon?

Tony 92 · Post by **Tony 92** » Sun Jan 04, 2009 2:29 pm

I want to put a COC in one of my 1000pts lists.
However they don't seem to make them any more. Are there any plans to make one soon or do I need to customise one?
If so, what kit do you suggest I use as my base?

Thanks!

I've heard nothing of a new box set being released anytime soon, what I did was to use a high elf chariot as a base, and use bits from the cold one knight set and the corsair set to build it up. Others have properly done other things, you could try and get an old dark elf chariot of ebay and convert it.

Good Luck

Thanks for that. I'll look on ebay.
If not then i'll try the high elf chariot and cold one knights.

As this has no army list, I am putting this in the druchii discussion forum.

Ok. Sorry. Wasn't sure where to put it!

Perhaps the COC will be reissued in the upcoming '2nd wave' seeing as so far it consists of 4 character models and nothing else that's new.

It wouldn't take much just swapping of the CO models and slight adjustments and we can but hope eh?

GameZone also have the equivalent of Cold One chariots. I have 2 but haven't painted them yet... the GZ Cold One has a fair bit more of a booty than the current GW one.... you could probably swap them out if they don't take your fancy...

GW staff have suggested to me using the Tomb Kings Chariot with bits from the Battalion box, but I don't see it personally.

Its easy enough to trim the saddles off the new CO so they can be used with chariots, its just a mtter of finding the appropriate chariot models to use and crew.

Fluff wise do you think that Corsairs (with handbows as xbows and weapons modified to spears) would work. I quite like the dynamic poses of the models which would appear to work well with the High Elf Chariot.

I heard on warseer that there will be a 2nd wave (don't know when) and that the COC will be redone in plastic. I think its quite plausible since the current one wasn't pictured in the new book and that they will probably want to update the cold ones to match the new ones.

Heres hoping.

Unfortunately the 2nd wave consists of 4 character models. However I to heard on Warseer that there will be a plastic COC being released mid/late 09 perhaps for the summer campaign along side the fabelled new malekith model in the mystical '3rd' wave of druchii miniatures....

Yes I'm hoping that this day will come soon, cool looking chariot Cold Ones and a 'Floating' Malekith on foot model just because that would look oh so badass IMHO.

A third wave of miniatures? Nice!!. Well, the most proper idea's for converting a COC had already been said, so I'm not going to repeat them. But to be honest, I didn't noticed that the COC's were gone

, are you sure you also can't order them anymore? And if you can't get any way I might have a site for where you can still get them (cheaper as well

).

@Zardock: why do you say IMHO, A floating Malekith IS cool

I tried and I can't order any more chariots, neither can I order a Manticore (dammit!) but the manti is pictured in the book so I won't expect a new one (I just want my ****manti!). however, for the chariot, I have a good feeling.

The reall question is how much can GW screw us by deliberately not making models for our armies. Conversions should be fun and somethinga bit different. not the expected norm to actually play the army.

I don't think we need more "GW-is-deliberately-screwing-our-favorite-army" talk, to be quite honest. I am sure that there is a good reason why GW has taken chariots off the shelves, and that reason is not "let's just piss the dark elf players off". If you need chariots, try ebay or independent retailers, I'm sure you will find something. And GW wants to sell things to us, and taking something off the shelves is sure as hell not going to increase their sales, so please don't start yet another one of these arguments.

HUZZAH!

I think chariots have been phased out of the army. The rules ar there for people who have them, but with the new BG, shade and CoK rules, chariots have much less of a place than they did previously.

I hope not. They are IMO one of the best models in the range. It would be a shame if they disappeared.
