Over to you Krauty:
First of all, I have to say that it's a colossal honour to be invited to this small event, and knowing the other guys' spectacular work, I know that I'll have to give it my best shot. That said, I played hard to get for a while, so I am lagging behind a bit, and I yet have to hammer out a masterplan for my warband. It's also been years since I built my last model for WFB, which adds to the challenge.
But I have some preliminary kitbashes to share with you, at least. Most of these are still rather WIP and may be subject to change.
Champion of Khorne
This guy was actually bought quite a while ago, since I wanted to use his arms and heads for a different project. The original plan was to turn him into an officer for my World Eaters army, but that plan never really moved beyond the blue tack phase, so this project seemed like the perfect occasion to revisit the model. While I am a big fan of the classic Khornate "bunny ears", I think the simpler helmet design really adds a sense of blunt menace and brutality. At the moment, I am still thinking about whether or not I should replace the sword with a Bloodletter Helblade...

Bloodsecrator
My main plan for this model was to make it slightly less over the top, so I replaced the comically huge icon of Khorne with a still massive but slightly more plausible standard. I also changed the right arm, while I was at it, going for an even more aggressive pose. The beastly head seemed like a cool addition, adding a certain old skoll charm to the character ;)
Khorgorath
This model was converted shortly after the release of Age of Sigmar: While I am normally not a big fan of massively mutated models, I still rather like the Khorgorath. However, I made some changes to make the model seems slightly less cluttered: The strange "spine-serpents" emerging from the model's shoulder and right arm were shaved off and replaced with something a little less busy in order to unclutter the model's silhouette. I also changed the somewhat abstract head, splicing in an ogre helmet for a somewhat gladiatorial look (the model was originally converted as some kind of arena beast for my World Eaters, and I think it may still end up doing double-duty in both armies/warbands).
Chaos Warrior
This ist the most WIP conversion at the moment, but I really rather like the look and feel of the model. I think I'd like to create a band of somewhat more individual chaos warriors, where each model reads as a character in their own right, and this guy is the first step in that direction.
So much for my first kitbashes. I'd love to hear any feedback you might have, of course! :-)
