Widdershins Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Ive got two boxes of Witch Elves but I'm thinking of building them as Sisters of Slaughter/Daemonettes instead. This leaves me with a whole pile of Witch Elf heads that I'd like to use to make female Stormcast (or marines, or something). I'm not sure that they'd fit well though, given the way the hair sits. Has anyone ever used Witch Elf heads for converting anything before? Anything at all? Thanks! Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlightwolf Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Iv'e attempted to use them in conversions before but the hair really makes it difficult. If you have the skills you can use green stuff for alternative hair but you may also need to adjust the head position as the necks on witch elves are also weirdly angled.

Widdershins Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Gah I was afraid of that. My conversion skills are pretty poor [emoji3]Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makiwara Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I have used the heads on characters for my wood elf army, they fit well on Sisters of the Thorn torsos, my mounted Spellweaver has one on Neferata's torso and I originally had them on my warhawk conversions, which were winged harlequins with Tyrannid Gargoyle wings but I broke those down in favour of witch elf bodies, Sisters of Slaughter heads and feathered Scourge wings. Wood elf torsos tend to be thin enough to fit them well, anything armoured I would think that you would struggle. I was playing with the idea of putting them on kabalite torsos for my Wildwood Rangers but they never fit so I stuck with the WWR cloaked heads instead. With a little shaving I think they are easy enough to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widdershins Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Ahhhh, so you used them a lot with other elf models? I've got this pile of Stormcast I'd like to use them on, do you think it's possible to shave the hair a little and make them work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makiwara Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I haven't had my hands on many stormcast but I think not, the torsos might give you some troubles. Personally I would look at getting a female torso from another source and working the weapons and legs into that. You could make reasonable female stormcast without using stormcast bodies. I would be looking to the 40k Sisters of Battle/Silence line if I were you. It's what I would do, probably will do when my daughter starts playing.
