Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I am thinking, depending on the new book, of trying out some cultists, however I am not keen on the DV ones (They are nice models, just not the sort I'd want in my cult :D) I'd like to use robed/hooded ones rather then a ragtag look.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 I was thinking more robed/hooded/cloaked, ie full body robes with hoods, all concealing cloaks rather then the ragtag look of the GW cultists or the plague/borderlands theme of the Forgeworld ones.

J!MM!L!C!OUS Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 One of the Necromunda gangs, the Redemtionists are quite suitable :P http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1252069_99110599159_NecroRedemptionistGangMain_873x627.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261710-hoodedrobed-cultists/#findComment-3185416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 I did think of starting necromunda with those :P Whilst those are really nice models, they are too expenisve to get in the numbers I suspect cultists will be needed to be usefull. Certainly going to try and pick those guys on ebay to sprinkle through the squads for flavour, anyone know what they cultist options are?

Killax Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Personally I will go for the Blood Pact look. Altough I do not plan to field many of them, if it isn't in close combat, it isn't Khornate. Options from Maxmini: Evil Meat Shield: http://www.maxmini.eu/store/images/mxm_bits/evilheads.jpg Kinda Blood pact: http://www.maxmini.eu/store/images/falleg.jpg Trenchy traitors: http://www.maxmini.eu/store/images/mxm_bits/neobrittrenchersheads.jpg Nurgly: http://www.maxmini.eu/store/images/mxm_bits/toxgheads.jpg Idk: http://www.maxmini.eu/store/images/mxm_bits/biohazardheads_color.jpg Other options: Ak's http://www.maxmini.eu/store/images/mxm_bits/akguns.jpg Enough picture spam for now :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261710-hoodedrobed-cultists/#findComment-3185420 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Dark Eldar Wracks would be a decent base. Again, pricey in numbers though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261710-hoodedrobed-cultists/#findComment-3185452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I understand you. You want that http://imageshack.us/f/600/models024.jpg/ As I see it, there is three kind of "cultitsts". Those in rags, then the militaristic ones, and finally, the cultists per se.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 What about the full body covering robed ones? the bottom half of that guy is good, but the top?? The closest image I can think of is the unfortunate Cultists from unspeakable vault (OF DOOM!) who are what I'm thinking of http://www.goominet.com/unspeakable-vault/vault/9/Cultists/ only with hoods.

Killax Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I might even use some Bunny's to complement my Bunny Zerkers. http://www.coolminiornot.com/phpThumb.php?w=400&src=http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/media/catalog/product/9/0/900032-nasier-bloodmask-3.jpg http://www.coolminiornot.com/phpThumb.php?w=400&src=http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/media/catalog/product/9/0/900031-nasier-bloodmask-2.jpg http://www.coolminiornot.com/phpThumb.php?w=400&src=http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/media/catalog/product/9/0/900030-nasier-bloodmask-1.jpg But in all seriousness, if you want the hooded cultists, go for the Zealots, they are the cheapest and give you enough bodies.

totgeboren Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 You could maybe combine empire flagellants with Pig Iron Kolony Feral heads, or just buy Kolony Ferals. There are two main problems with Pig Iron infantry. They are two-piece models, a head and a body, and therefore the weapons are part of the cast. Secondly, I don't know why, but all their models have small feet. Not absurdly small, but when you notice, it sort of annoys you. http://www.pig-iron-productions.com/bmz_cache/d/d81fd2a005f544117f495d06f5019792.image.733x550.jpg I guess it's not what you are locking for though... There are however models like these out there http://eurekamin.com.au/images/100CUL03.jpg found at http://eurekamin.com.au/index.php?cPath=87...140&sort=3a but they look hard to weaponize.

Bearingtheword Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I did mine like this.... Used the FW Renegade enforcer torsos (come with the head attached and WHFB High Elf legs and some added IG and Chaos bits. I too was looking for hooded heads but couldn't find any I was happy with, but I am happy with these. Only 15 1/2 more to paint lol... ~BtW Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261710-hoodedrobed-cultists/#findComment-3185614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit using the High elf archers and greenstuffing hoods onto the does sound like a good idea, so could try that if nothing else turns up. Models of hooded monks would probably work.

totgeboren Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 You could buy Flagellants but give them these heads http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/image/cache/data/a-new/heads_crests/hood-500x500.jpg http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?r...;product_id=191 I think that could work well enough.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Those hooded heads would be perfect, just the lack of bodies with long robes with long arms.
