This article is about using the [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Start-Collecting-Slaves-To-Darkness-2019 2019 Warhammer Age of Sigmar Start Collecting! Slaves to Darkness Box]. This box comes with 1 Chaos Lord on Karkadrak, 5 Chaos Knights with Cursed Lances, and 10 Chaos Warriors with One Handed Weapons and Shields. Neither the Knights nor the Warriors have a Musician or Standard Bearer (although both have a Champion).
I decided to magnetize my models as much as possible. I also expanded my Warriors unit to 15 using 5 of the older [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Chaos-Warriors-Regiment-2016 2016 Chaos Warriors]. Below I'll describe a few of the mods I did as well as provide some information to maybe help others with their conversions.
==Old Chaos Warriors vs New Chaos Warriors==
The old 2016 Chaos Warriors are roughly the same size as the new Chaos Warriors and can be run side-by-side without standing out too much. Their feet are a bit larger and their legs are a bit thicker, but overall the only real stand-out difference is that their heads are a fair bit bigger. This seemed like a problem I could remedy. Your Start Collecting Box's Warriors come with 10 helmeted heads, and 10 bare heads. So if you are happy mixing and matching you've got 10 spare heads right there. However I like my armored Warriors to wear helmets. What kind of a dufus goes to war without a helmet on? So I had to find other helmeted heads that were the right size.
*Of course the heads from the new 2019 Start Collecting Box are the right size
*The heads from the [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Chaos-Chariot-2016 2016 Chaos Chariot] are the right size
*It turns out that both the [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Khorne-Bloodreavers Khorne Bloodreavers box] and Bloodreavers from the [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Khorne-Bloodbound-Goreblade-Warband-2018 2018 Goreblade Warband] have the right size heads as well. Even better, you can get helmeted heads with an exposed mouth from some of them (which I like for my Musicians)
See the picture below for a comparison (from left to right) of a new Warrior with new stock head, new Warrior with Bloodreaver head, old Warrior with Bloodreaver head, and old Warrior with old stock head. I left the shields off the old warriors as to not obscure their heads. Sorry about the black undercoat. I didn't think to take this photo until I had undercoated my converted old warriors.<br />
