RedemptionNL Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Looking for an alternative for the GW Deathcult Assassin models, as those become monotonous when wielded in larger groups. One suggestion that pops up every now and then are Privateer Press' Daughters of the Flame. I like the look of the models, as they have 4 different poses and they certainly fit the bill of dual power sword wielding, lithe and agile assassins. And they have a somewhat holy look to them that matches the Grey Knights' purity. Add some purity seals and such to 40k 'em up and should look the part. :D http://privateerpress.com/files/products/the-protectorate-of-menoth/units/daughters-of-the-flame.png Now I have never worked with any Privateer Press products, so I was wondering about the quality and the scale of the models. Has anyone worked with these models, or even owns a set of Daughters of the Flame? A picture of a model next to a GW model would be much appreciated. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243602-daughters-of-the-flame-as-deathcult-assassins/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drachnon Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I used to play warmachine, their models are all metal (or at least were when I played). they are pretty decent though you don't get extra bits giving you conversion options. iirc the models are slightly bigger then GW as are their bases so if you want them to look smaller compared to marines you might have to look further. Though perhaps someone else might have more knowledge on this.

Fredegar Kadere Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 My Death-cult is the Daughters of Flame. They are a good alternative. In comparision to the GW death cultists, the Daughters are a little thicker and also taller. I would say they are very eldar like in their proportions. While they come in four different poses, getting two duplicates in a box, their arms are seperate so you can form a variety of poses with them looking natural. If you have any Green Stuff skills the world will be the limit. I do not recommend that you mix the PP Daughters with GW Death cults, they look nothing alike and their differing proportions are easily apparent.

That sounds promising. <_< Do you have (or could you take) any pictures of your Daughter models, preferrably standing next to a Grey Knight for scale? I intented to run a squad of 6 so if the models are suitable the box would be ideal. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243602-daughters-of-the-flame-as-deathcult-assassins/#findComment-2945912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'm using Reaper's "Battle Nuns" for my DCA in my Sisters army.

RedemptionNL Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Those would be the Kayazy Eliminators? They look suitable, if not for the same 'only 2 poses' problem the GW ones have.

Hmm, probably a little too heavily armoured to pass as lithe agile assassins. Plus you'd have to get replacement heads. Do the dragon scale cloaks come separately or are they part of the armour?

RolandTHTG Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Part of the armor/torso back. I gave them shields and head swaps and count them as crusaders. the arms are sized to fit with DE wyches, if you want to go that path for the death cult assassins.

Abaddonshand Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm thinking harlequins might be a good counts as stand in for death cult assassins, they've been known to work with the inquisition before, and it especially makes sense if your inquisitor is Ordo Xenos. At the moment I use kroot mercenaries for mine.

RedemptionNL Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Ah, thanks for the pictures Fredegar! :jaw: Seeing as an Imperial Guardsman or Inquisitor model is about as tall as a Space Marine model, the Daughters shouldn't look off, especially considering Death Cult Assassin's probably don't shy away from some genetic modification themselves. Definitely picking up a box on my next order. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/243602-daughters-of-the-flame-as-deathcult-assassins/#findComment-2949161 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Valerius Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Can you post a pic? I've seen many people say they use Wyches for their DCA, but have not seen one pic of such a conversion. Would be interesting to see.
