jumping goat Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I'm planning on adding some deathcult assassins and an eversor assassin to my witch hunters army but I don't want my assassins to look like everyone elses assassins. Does anyone know of any models from other miniature ranges which would make good assassins? Has anyone converted/made there own assassins from other games workshop models? I would love to see some pics of assassins Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142551-alternate-assassins/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
revnow Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I used the APAC Ninja Team from Rezolution for my DCAs and converted one of the models with Callidus weapons, I'll post pics a bit later. Unfortunately it means you can't use the miniatures in GW run tournaments, but meh.

Vutall Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Personally, I think Sister Repentia models look great as dealth cults. But thats only if you arnt running any repentia in your army list ((dont want to cause confusion.)) Also, the Dark Elf assassins from the WFB range look amazing as well.

Utsujin Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 LOL I took a regular tech servitor, and put on a tomb kings head, and tomb kings sword arm. The sword arm is also skeletal, so it fits the neuro gauntlet look and the skull mask look. I added a shoulder mounted bolt pistol. He looks stupid, but was fine until I could afford an eversor.

Crayoneater Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Have three old Howling Banshees on my workbench still waiting for heads and dual swords. They had a really neat Wardancer-like pose I was looking for, have a few Dark Eldar heads with full masks but not happy with the bug eyes that are going to be filed off. Also still trying to get three more swords as well, the swords from the classic Howling Banshees are more assassin-like imo.

Cheesus Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I personally use DE Incubi as my deathcult and a DE archon as a Callidus/Eversor assassin. They look good and are gorgeous models.

Da Myth Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 i thought about making some assassins, i thought about using: - kroot heads - dark elf, chaos, and dark eldar maybe some eldar pieces for your other assassin i would have a nice idea of basically any model and have a nice back story. create like that tau sniper [ i really forgot which assassin is the one he is talkin bout, im sure its the one with the rifle and not the one who uses stimilants right? ( i have not looked in the book lately and need to catch up on everyth) ] Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142551-alternate-assassins/#findComment-1654097 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narthecium Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I personally use DE Incubi as my deathcult and a DE archon as a Callidus/Eversor assassin. They look good and are gorgeous models. I can see the Incubi, but I just can't see an archon as a callidus. Maybe as an eversor.

Onisuzume Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I can see the Incubi, but I just can't see an archon as a callidus. Maybe as an eversor. Depends on the archon model. Anyways, I plan to convert some House Escher models to be my Eversor and Vindicare. (don't care about the other two) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142551-alternate-assassins/#findComment-1657516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narthecium Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The only archon I see is currently up on the GW site is a very manly one with a ripped off human face as a mask. I'd love to see other models though if you can find a good example of them, I'm all for conversions!

Narthecium Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Yeah I really like that guy leaping over the wall too. You hit the nail on the head with the positioning of his body in that move, the action looks very realistic. As far as the sniper...um. No offense, but I'm really not a fan. I hope the finaly product turned out decently...if so I'd love to see pics.

I made a mess of the her with a file and some really poor GSing skills. Plus her hips are not positioned quite right.

Onnotangu Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 this helldorado model would make a good deathcultist. http://www.wargamesonline.co.uk/THE_WESTER..._Eloise_Alvarro Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142551-alternate-assassins/#findComment-1665122 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud Duck Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'm having a problem understanding the picture myself, and I took it! :D The assassin is running away shooting her pistol behind her. I'll see if I can get some better pics. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142551-alternate-assassins/#findComment-1666043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
