Noober Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 What models do you use as warrior acolytes? I'd like to avoid using anything from the imperial guard codex. I hate the models... Any ideas?

Sisters of battle with stormbolters Actually, I will very specifically be using Sisters of Battle to counts-as Warrior Acolytes in my own GK force. (An honor guard to my Canoness in TDA, as it were.)

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 There is also the Necromunda range which is worth check out. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...pecialist-games IP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236847-warrior-acolytes/#findComment-2855101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noober Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 I don't have any sisters of battle models and I don't like them either. LOL I'm starting to sound like a guy who hates every model in this game. Scouts were a good suggestion which I hadn't even considered and I have a few of those already so that's a possibility. I was looking for something totally different just like Insane Psychopath suggested. Those models would cost a lot because I'm considering to buy something like 10-20 models. Thanks for the ideas!

Inquisitor Fox Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 In addition to the Necromunda range (which was going to be my suggestion) you can also convert a lot of the fantasy models, such as Bretonnian Grail Relique peasants, Bretonnian Men-at-arms, lots of the Empire foot soldiers, etc. Depending on your own Inquisitors, you could have mercenary Orks, Squats utilizing fantasy plastics or select ebay puchases, etc. I plan on having at least one Fire Warrior armed with a bolter and carapace armor ^_^ In short, if you can dream it up, go for it!

neonfunk Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Sorry for reviving a dead thread, but I reckon that this was more preferable than me starting a new one... I was really hoping if I can get some help from anyone. I plan on converting some warrior acolytes, but i plan for them to robes and hoods. Think techpriest enginseer, and you kind of get the gist of what I want to achieve. I however am having some diffuculty in finding heads (that are obviously scaled for "normal" humans", otherwise DA vet heads would be perfect!), so if you guys can throw up any suggestions, I would be greatly appreciative! I dont mind if the parts come from a NON-GW company... in fact, I would probably prefer if the heads did in fact come from a non-gw company e.g. scibor - who have LOVELY miniatures, but are scaled for TERMINATORS!... cơrrect me if im wrong (and i sìncerely hope i am!) lol thanks agaiN!

Inquisitor Fox Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Try heads from plastic wood elves from the Fantasy line. I believe lots of their cloaks have hoods. As far as robes go, I'd try looking at Empire Flagellants, I think those are robed.

Were the wood elves glade guard what you had in mind? http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...odId=prod800866 Thanks for the suggestion. but they look like they are wearing leather "helmet", as opposed to a cowl ala Dark angels veterans, or techpriest enginseer. I've endlessly scoured the internet for "robed" heads, but with no luck! Anyway, I think I might be going with Plan B - I would like to do a "necronish" theme to my henchmen (as part of my radical ordo xeno's dealings with the necrons), to ally a necron detachment. I have found most of the parts that I nêed, howver, one item alludes me.... All i want it a skull helmet/mask that fits on an IG scale model (Think SM chaplain, NOT vampire counts skeletal warriors lol) !!! I have had terrible luck finding it. To give you an idea of what Im tryin to get at, please have a lơok at this (which is an absolute GEM of a site): http://chapterhousestudios.com/index.php?r...;product_id=195 http://chapterhousestudios.com/image/cache/data/SkullGreyb-224x224.jpg ^That would be perfect, unfortunately, it is SM scaled. The closest thing that I have ran in to is the chaos renegades from forgeworld: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000..._ENFORCERS.html http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/large/renenforcers.jpg ^ These are actually perfect, but they cost 12.50 pounds for 5! I am thinking of doing at least 36 warropr acolytes, so that roughly equates to almost 90 pounds, ìf I am to buy 7 of these!! and this is just the price of the heads!!! I dont have that kind of money, so I was hoping if anyone can give me a suggestion on an alternative source for acquiring skull helmets- they can be as part of a model, so long as I try to find a bitz site that is willling to sell it separately. Again, I thank you for your time and consideration, and any suggestion is GREATFULLY appreciated.

Inquisitor Fox Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 GW's picture just shows the masked/helmeted bits, but I guarentee you from actually working with them when they came out in a GW store there are hooded bits included. In fact, a quick check here on a bits site shows a picture of the hooded heads that are also included in the kit: http://www.thewarstore.com/product27681.html That being said, you definitely found some awesome heads!

neonfunk Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Ơơh I just checked that out... that is perfect for what I had in mind. (I'm running a set of "pure" henchies, all robed up, accessories to fit, etc.... and another group of henchies which are more "radical"- ađds to the fluffiness of ađding necron allies). So yeah, thank you heaps for the robed heads!! Any ideas on skull masks/helmets???? Sorry to pester, but i'm itching to get started! (please have some sympathy! everything arrives at least 2=3 wêeks after order placement due to where I live!)

Inquisitor Fox Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Not on a regular human scale, but two ideas do spring to mind. The first is to simply use Khemri Tomb Kings heads and have bodies with skulls for heads. Obviously some sort of dark magic or something is at work ;) The second is to actually use regular / bald heads... and use skull "warpaint" on the front. This requires more painting skill, but can look really cool and freaky.
