I say use tau fire warriors. They're not dead on by any stretch, but they're similar in spirit. |
| Usrivoy3 | 17 Oct 2006 7:20 p.m. PST |
If you could find some miniatures with these types of helmets you could kit bash something. They are medieval tournament helmets. picture link Not sure if anyone actually makes a figure like these though. |

try
link
they have fore-arm mounted blasters though…
I have a feeling i've seen figures like them somewere, let me go through my links… |

I have to second the Tau – they are indeed pretty close. Most firewarriors are plastic (easy conversions) – but there are some metal versions available. |

I used to love that series. I wish the sci channel would air it. Back to back with BSG would be an awesome line up. You might want to try Kryomek minis too. . . |

Wait a minute . . . could these work? link I would have to get suitable weapons for their right hands, though. CC |

Can you image those Eldar Scorpions with Tau Fire Warrior heads? Do you guys think they could they look something like this? picture

Maybe a Dark Eldar body with a Tau head? I may be able to knock a quick sample together over the weekend and take a pic as a trial. |
| Cacique Caribe | 18 Oct 2006 6:35 p.m. PST |
Ooooo. That would be so sweet!!! CC |
| byram1 | 18 Oct 2006 8:31 p.m. PST |
i agree with Alien, DE body, plus a tau head, slightly modded of course. |
| Cacique Caribe | 18 Oct 2006 8:50 p.m. PST |
These?
link With these?
link I can definitely see the potential! CC |
| Cacique Caribe | 18 Oct 2006 9:36 p.m. PST |
Though they are not metal, I just bought on ebay 7 Eldar Warriors in sprues and 6 Tau heads to play around too!!! Thanks so much for the suggestions!! CC |
| Cacique Caribe | 18 Oct 2006 9:55 p.m. PST |
The question now is what to do about those medieval-looking faceplates that Usrivoy3 pointed out above! link Any suggestions? CC |
| nvdoyle | 19 Oct 2006 11:57 a.m. PST |
Hmm…what you want are Grey Knight Terminator heads… link …on Eldar Guardian bodies. link The problem is that the GK Terms are metal, and expensive… |
| byram1 | 19 Oct 2006 5:29 p.m. PST |
and they are molded to the torso, the heads arent individual. |
| byram1 | 19 Oct 2006 5:31 p.m. PST |
check here: i see some potentials: link |

BTW, you have all convinced me that if conversions is the way, plastic is the medium. CC |
| Cacique Caribe | 22 Oct 2006 1:07 a.m. PST |
Also, I have not yet given up on Usrivoy3's suggestion above. I hope to get some suggestions from the medieval/renaissance gaming members. TMP link CC |

As a side-note, I can't believe that this ship is scratch-built . . . picture

Cacique Caribe – I mocked up a CHIG last night using a Tau head on a Dark Eldar body. Obviously the head will need modding as will parts of the armour but I think it might be along the lines of what you are after. aliensurfer.co.uk |
| DAWGIE | 25 Oct 2006 6:52 a.m. PST |
EM-4 has the former SPACELORDS line from the 80s available again, and i would suggest n eyeball reconn of PHAGON BATTLE CLONES. the head could be replaced, or re-modelled or left alone.

I like the dark eldar body. I might go with eldar and tau head though. *ponders* CURSE YOU CACIQUE CARIBE!!!

| alien BLOODY HELL surfer | 25 Oct 2006 8:38 a.m. PST |
Yeh a normal eldar body would do as well – just didn't have one to hand – will try to get one up this week. |
| Cacique Caribe | 26 Oct 2006 11:50 p.m. PST |
Lord Billington, I know. I just had to ask and open a whole new can of worms (or unexplored possibilities). CC |
| Cacique Caribe | 27 Oct 2006 12:07 p.m. PST |
Alien, As soon as my Eldar Guardians come in (I think NVDoyle recommended those), I will try the same. I already received the Tau heads. I like that they don't have the shoulder armor. I also plan not to use the back packs that come with them:

I am now working on two easily-repeatable items: * Helmet (modified Tau)
* Weapon hand-guard (scratch-built) Everything else will be Eldar (Eldar Guardians and/or Dark Eldar Warriors). I am using the suggestions here and on this other thread: TMP link CC |
| Cacique Caribe | 09 Nov 2006 12:17 a.m. PST |
Alien, I have something to send you. Let me know where to mail it? :) CC |

try some of these with a tau head: link specifially the Alien Leader with "Galactic Hunter" shoulder cannon |
| Cacique Caribe | 09 Jan 2007 9:29 p.m. PST |
Here are photos of what I will soon add to Dark Eldar bodies: link Let me know what you think. Thanks. CC |

If painted correctly, would these work as Chigs for 15mm???? link
link Or do you guys have other suggestions for 15mm? CC |
