Death Cult Assasin and Crusader model

So I came across these models on BolS:

And I thought the temple flameguard would make great crusaders, with the daughters of the flame making good DCAs. Thoughts?

I play WarMachine (Priviteer Press game, those models are for one of the factions) and my wife even has a few of those. They are wonderful models, but not quite the same scale as GW. They are all slightly larger, and the smaller models go on a base slightly smaller then a termie base. They could look ok, but I will not be using any (even though there are quite a few models in the faction I play I would like to use) because of the size differences.

 

Also will not fly at a tournament because they are 100% non GW models.

You can use the new plastic wyches for DCA.

 

G :lol:

Here in Australia most tournaments don't have that restriction.

The regular infantry models for Warmachine and Hordes are a slightly smaller than Eldar/Dark Eldar, the difference is barely noticable. Mounting them on Games Workshop bases might take a little clipping of the tags that go into the base slots, but otherwise, you might only need to shave off the Menoth symbols. I was thinking about doing this for my own DCAs, or using Dark Eldar models, as they'd be a little cheaper for a few more and would be legal in Games Workshop run tournaments.

Tourneys run by GW stores do.

Khador and Menoth infantry are larger then GW guard models... Not sure which you are comparing...

Menoth and Khador generally have more heavily armoured infantry in comparison to Guard.

 

However, with regards to DCA and Crusader models, Daughters of the Flame are very similar to Eldar and Dark Eldar sizes. Temple Flamguard are slightly taller than Imperial Guard models, but the overall style of the models will fit well. Another thing to consider, Privateer Press bases are slightly taller than GW bases, which also adds to overall model height. I put my own models side by side and the differences are almost negligible - espeially considering the angle they would be viewed at.

 

As far as cheaper alternatives and maintaining a similar appearance throught out the army, the Daughters and Flameguard work well. They also are easily converted, as its simply a matter of filing off symbols or adding them.

I'm using the privateer press (Doom Reavers) as my DCAs. The slightly smaller scale actually works since they are meant to be fast and quick (and have a sword with inlay similar to that on GK armour).

In my opinion, the daughters of the flame (in comparison to IG models beside them) looked like a unit of 12 year old girls. I'll post a comparison photo tonight when I get home.

I am using bretonnian men at arms for crusaders and I was looking at dark elves witches , since they come packs of 5 for 25.00 vs 2 for 15.00 , and they have two hand weapons that can easily represent power weapons.

To each their own. I think the menoth models are no where close to fitting in with really any GW models. Maybe if you heavily alter them, but at that point you have put more time money and effort into then is worth it. And as far as armored, they are actually quite similar and Cadians are more heavily armored (flak/carapace from head to toe) then a number of either.
