Alright, fellow generals, get ready to level up your Warhammer: The Old World armies with some cool unit fillers! We’re talking about those awesome diorama-like additions that not only beef up your troop count but also make your units stand out on the battlefield. Pete the Wargamer, a seasoned YouTuber, took on the challenge and shared his fantastic project with the GW Community team.
For the Tomb Kings, Pete went all in with the mystical vibes. A crumbling obelisk resurrected, sending out energy to reanimate the buried dead. He cleverly used parts from the Ossiarch Bonereapers Bone-tithe Nexus, giving that ancient and eerie Tomb Kings feel. Floating rocks and swirling energy streams from the Spirit Hosts kit completed the spooky ensemble. It’s like a mini-movie scene in the middle of your unit!
Now, for the Bretonnians, Pete took a different route. Since Bretonnian infantry is mostly made up of peasants, a floating obelisk wouldn’t fit the vibe. So, what did he do? He built a cart! Yep, a humble cart made from Skaven Plague Furnace leftovers. Loaded with chests, shields, and all sorts of equipment, this cart brings a touch of practicality and simplicity to the Bretonnian forces. It’s like they brought their supplies to the medieval party.
Both mini-dioramas were expertly mounted on 75x50mm bases, ready to replace the central six miniatures in a unit of 20. And let’s not forget the paint job – matching the theme and vibe of their respective armies, these fillers seamlessly blend into the ranks.
Whether you’re a seasoned converter or a bit hesitant about modding your minis, unit fillers are a game-changer. Pete’s project is proof that with a handful of spare bits and a dash of creativity, you can make your Old World army uniquely yours. So, what are your plans for unit fillers?
