Arganias Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Hey there! My wife and I both are doing Imperial Guard armies. I have built a Kasrkin Stormtrooper army, but my wife wanted to do something a little different. My wife read the first Ciaphus Cain book and didn't realize there were such a thing as female only. After some discussion about what she wants, which is less uniform and more brutal and close quarters. Then, suddenly, I remembered the Xenonians from the 3rd or 4th edition codex. I found a pic that looks like the body of a dark eldar is a base, but I can't find where those high boots came from, which seems to be a staple of the regiment. Long story short: Does anyone have any ideas for conversion? Or what would constitute a fluffy list? Any help would be appreciated!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Stockings and corsets? Dark Eldar Wyches to start with. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339991-xenonian-imperial-guard/#findComment-4900028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Those almost look like the female hive gang from Necromunda. Maybe wait and see what can be done with those gals, maybe conversions would be easier.

Arganias Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Stockings and corsets? Dark Eldar Wyches to start with. I was looking at them but it looks like Wyches have those angular armor plates like warriors do, unless there is a version of the legs that don't have them. Those almost look like the female hive gang from Necromunda. Maybe wait and see what can be done with those gals, maybe conversions would be easier. I was looking at the new Escher models and thought that they might work, maybe paint the midrift as a body suit and supplement with DE arms. The gang boss I definitively wanted as a company commander.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Victoria minis has female "cadians" and female conversion parts if she'd be interested in that. https://victoriaminiatures.com/collections/arcadian-guard https://victoriaminiatures.com/collections/female-squads-and-bits Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339991-xenonian-imperial-guard/#findComment-4900040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranulf Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 If you've got deep pockets and don't mind three troopers cloned repeatedly, these would be the bomb: http://maxmini.eu/image/cache/data/products/miniatures/MXMFG024_femaleguerillareinforcements-882x630.jpg Aside from that, I'd second Victorian Miniatures for Female body parts: www.victoriaminiatures.com For the holy grail of female heads, check out Statuesque Miniatures: http://www.statuesqueminiatures.co.uk/c/4535598/1/heroic-scale-accessories.html They also do a line of female sci-fi (including a Commissar) but I'm not sure of scale.

Halfpint100 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Dark eldar wyches with much green stuff I would say. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339991-xenonian-imperial-guard/#findComment-4900094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnyogrady Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Again, if you've got deep pockets, the company Raging Heroes does a line calles "Toughest Girls in the Galaxy". I might specifically recommend the Red Hammers or Jailbirds factions to get started, but I think a lot of their different faction troops and heroes could work well. Here's a 5-model Troop unit, for example: https://www.ragingheroes.com/collections/tgg/products/jailbirds-coyote-crew-troops Let us know how it goes!

Arganias Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Oh wow thank you all for these recommendations! I'll have to run some of these model lines past her.
