Kierdale Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Looking at the new Dark Elves I thought how some of them could be converted into lovely Chaos models, particularly as supporters of the Prince of Excess. The Sisters of Slaughter (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440049a&prodId=prod2250008a) could make for some excellent Slanneshi cultists (just throw some pistols in their hands or holsters on hips/thighs). Those masks are fantastic. And the new Cauldron of Blood (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440048a&prodId=prod2250012a)... My first -hideously Xenos-heretical thought- was 'cut those joints, reposition and GS them: new Eldar Avatar? Too small?'... And my second thought was 'Fallen/Corrupted Avatar'....Demon Prince!

ChaosRising Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Sorry. I still have to go with the now OOP variations of both (the ones that were around in 6th ed WHFB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Not being a Dark Elf -or even a WHFB (anymore)- player I can't really comment on that aspect of the new minis...nor would that be appropriate to the B&C (I don't want the mods shutting down this thread). I was thinking of their use as bitz or conversions for 40K Chaos, particularly Slanneshi, armies. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I think thry are fantastic, I'm drooling over that shrine, daemon prince and forge fiend corrupted LR in one kit! The sisters I think ill kit bash into. CC noise marines, which i run. There pricey, but the masks and heads alone are worth it imo. Looking forward to seeing some conversions!

Cod Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I also just saw the new Dark Elves up on pre-order, cool! How about that new Hydra as a Daemon Prince for an Alpha Legion force?! Cod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 You know, I was actually thinking of spawn or the basis for forge fiends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May also consider using some of the Dark Eldar models (maybe some warrior heads on Wych bodies?) since they're basically futuristic Dark Elves and already have the right gear for the most part, and I know for a fact that you can find all kinds of decadent masks in that line.

hushrong Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I am tempted with the idea of using the witches/sisters as Daemonettes. I have twenty of the plastic daemonettes but they lack the visual appeal I want for a Slaaneshi entity (that and I am having difficulty allocating the previous edition metal Daemonettes) Using them for Cultists, a skierdale is a great idea too. That cauldron also seems to have a handful of goodies too. That Medusa thing would be a good looking Daemon Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 The Deldar have an amazing range, but those masks in the delves box are something special :) If you have enough daemonettes and enough time, consider this amazing conversion; http://forum.emperorschildren.net/viewtopic.php?t=3037&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=c3b36ee003c4c83fdaec5ffef6e1f128 Im planning on Noise Marine units based on these daemonette torso conversions, using parts from teh FW Kakophic range, once I get paid for my last contract :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Those masks will be a great addition to any Slaaneshi army. Now I am wondering about using those on the marines. While checking out those sisters I've also thought of using two of the horns as the exhaust ports on a Noise Champs backpack. A silly idea I want to try out. That conversion is also cool. I would rather see the Daemonette torso encase a bit more inside the marine one. Just cut up the marine's torso front to expose it more. Lastly, I've been thinking about using Khaine from the cauldron as an avatar for my Eldar Corsairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorDaemon Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It has been evident since day one that Dark Elves correlate to Dark Eldar. But these new Dark Elves? As cool as they look...they are literally the old Dark Eldar with the lasers and splinter weapons taken away and given more swords and shields, that is all. Here they re-use part of the old Incubus mold for the helmet http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=5164&d=1380528147 I do still think they're cool looking, just rolling my eyes at the shameless similarities, Dark Eldar players used bits of Dark Elves for conversions before this with no problem lol, now they come pre-converted.

AekoldHelbrass Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I've making my slaaneshi cultists from those kits: http://www.ragingheroes.com/collections/complete-collection/products/blood-vestals-sf-command http://www.ragingheroes.com/collections/complete-collection/products/blood-vestals-sf-troop http://zinge.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=20_116&product_id=53 Looking at the price of those witches - it's not like you will save a lot of money buying them instead.
