I want to use Saint Celestine and the Throne Of Judgement in my 40K Witch Hunters Army. But not so much that I want to spend $70 USD on them.
What could I use for Saint Celestine? A Sci-Fi or Fantasy model would be fine with me.
Also, what could I use for the Throne of Judgement? I think I saw somewhere on these forums a post about another company's model that could work.
I am able to do conversions. link |

Harbringer of Menoth from the Warmachine line has MUCHO potential for St Celestine… picture |

Personally I never liked the throne. I am thinking of buying a dred and converting it for the sisters. There is a great example here. link Also as for Saint Celestine, what if you used one of the normal Seraphim and added the feathered wings from Hasslefree? |

Any sister of battle with wings added and a dreadnought should work |

Rackham's set of Witch Hunters are pre-painted plastic and reasonably priced:

Why don't you exercise some patience and save up for the model? |

"… not so much that I want to spend $70 USD USD on them…" This seems to more a cost issue then a cash-flow issue. And I think I would agree. Too much for a set that can be adequately replaced with less expensive figures. Gracias, Glenn |

Armorcast (though this is just if you don't like the PP model, which I also think would be great): link |

The Harbringer of Menoth is a beauty! I have some unbuilt Dreadnoughts so a conversion on this is doable. The model from Armorcast is perfect and would make great Seraphim too! I just ordered the Armorcast model.
Spending $70 USD is ok but not if I can get better for less. |

I got the Armorcast "Valentina Kyrhee Celestial Space Knight" today. The detail is nice and compares very well in size with the Sisters of Battle. The miniature comes in four parts. The figure, wings, base, and what might be a back pack. In the right hand is a power weapon and in the left I have no idea. It may be a flame pot.
It will make a great Saint Celestine and is only $8 USD and shipping (about $3) was fast. In my opinion conversion of this model would be difficult. Though the power weapon could be removed and replaced with a sword or a gun of some type.
I am very happy with this model. link |

If you check out Olley's armies, he's got the judge (a judge in an automated chair with legs and a big gun). |

Insomniac, do you have a direct link to the miniature. I was unable to find it. |

I got an answer from Armorcast on what I didn't know about the model. The left hand is holding a "censor for burning incense". The model may be built with wings or a book back pack. |

Here is a nice substitute for a 40K Sisters of Battle!
A Dark Age Games Forsaken Saint Mary. link |

Check out Wyrd's line of miniatures. They have a few witch hunters. |

I found another! A substitute miniature for a Witch Hunters Penitent Engine This was inspired by this thread and a post by CmdrKiley.
TMP link
Compare a GW Penitent Engine to a Dark Age Games Skarrd Abomination. About half price too! I don' know about how they compare in size though. link link |
finds some neglected Dwarves in a box, and takes action.
