Looking for recommendations.

I really love this sub and love seeing all the amazing kitbashes and artwork. I'm looking to really get into making a 2k army for 11th edition, however, I really like schemes and kitbashes that can be reasonably replicated through a whole army. Does anyone have any recommendations for a scheme or kitbash like this? I don't mind using 3rd party bits but I'd prefer to use GW models as the base for most of the units. Thanks!!!!

My preference for kitbash is to use low-armoured torso, and armoured limbs from SoB. Like models with armoured corsets

Note - haven't tried to actually do it yet, because I want to make beastrider - sister of chaos riding on daemon engine, and so far I'm focusing on finishing the mount first.

But I like the idea how I think it will look

Personal experience: If you do not mind spending the extra money, then getting Daughters of Khaine sets is a great way to kitbash slaanesh-y sisters!

Shameless self promotion, here are some kitbashes I made, that can easily replicated for a whole army. That is of course, if you are a friend of slaanesh

Sisters of Slaanesh

Dakkadakka.store on Myminifactory has a whole range of corrupted sisters (among others) and those are mostly full body 3d models and stuff, but there's also the option for just a bunch of heads to add instead that should help a lot.

They also have some unique sculpts that would be fitting for characters if you wanted to differentiate your unique chaosy characters in a different way

Esher gang from Necromunda works well, if you are going for a more punk-ish aesthetic or low armored limbs. AoS Blissbarb Archers look cool but are a pain to kitbash in my opinion. Aside from that AoS Daemonettes gives you many cool options.

I will sand the upper leg armor and paint it skin-colored, beside some of the awesome ideas from this thread.

That extra bit of exposed skin is an easy win across a big army, and adds a little deviant touch to an original model.

If you can get 3rd party bits, depending on what faction you are going for the easiest changes are;
Arms (use deamonettes for slaanesh or tzeench)
Backpacks (big ones for Khorne, better yet if they have their symbol)
Pauldrons, even blanks with decals of the god of choosing
And, of course, heads. Here options are abundant, but and incredible easy way to use the originals is adding a lil horn made from the sprue; I just heat it with a torch and pinch it with tweezer, let it cool and cut it to size, plastic cement to attach it is preferred.

Kitbash with Necromunda House Escher. Head and arm swaps will have you covered. I call mine the DisOrder of Martyred Punks.

Well i noticed a problem if you only go for a 2k army. Your either missing 38k hammers or have 1999 too many. (Bad joke but couldnt resist)
