Change of conversion plans

Why the change?

Because I feel like sticking to Warhammer models instead of trying to also make due with LotR ones makes sense, especially given the extra dough that would be spent on extra bases, "Warhammer Bitz" and so on. I'd rather save my money by restricting my WH army to WH models and my LotR army to LotR ones, ya know?

How will these new conversion plans go?

Quite simply actually, I have even devised a simple flow-chart, using a "before -----> after" system. Also, the vast majority of appearance changing will be done by molding on Citadel Green Stuff on each troop type

Lords

Captain of the Empire with Great Weapon -----> Caliph

Markus Wulfhart -----> Salah Ad-din

Empire Wizard Lord -----> Grand Vizier

Heroes

Brettonian Damsel -----> Jasime Silverveil

Dark Elf Assassin 2 -----> Hashihins

Dark Elf Assassin with Two Hand Weapons -----> Malik Ibn-La'Ahad

Ogre Kingdoms Araby Maneater -----> Genie

Empire Battle Wizard -----> normal Vizier

Core Units (I will have 10 units of each of these)

Empire Free Company -----> Warriors of Araby

High Elf Archers -----> Bowmen of Araby

Empire Free Company -----> Corsairs

Wood Elf Glade Riders -----> Desert Riders

Special Units (I will have [and am limited to] 3 units of each of these)

High Elf Spearmen -----> Palace Guard

Empire State Troops -----> Janissaries

High Elf Silver Helms -----> Mameluke

Empire Handgunners -----> Nomad Hunters

Empire Huntsmen with large flying base stems and 50mm monster bases -----> Flying Carpet Riders

Empire Free Company (yet again) ----->  Naffatun

Rare Units (I will have [and am limited to] 2 units of each of these)

Brettonian Trebuchet -----> Araby Onager

Wood Elf Great Eagle -----> Araby Giant Eagle (Roc)

Sgt. Major Miniatures 28mm Elephant, Screaming Bell Base, Wood Elf Waywatcher trio & some cardboard -----> War Elephant of Araby with standard crew

Conclusion

I have made this decision completely for the better. So I will make assembly a lot easier on myself and I will save a lot that would otherwise be spent on replacement bases.
