Alternate Sculpts (not necessarily Asmodee) for use as Independents and Troopers

[Dogmeat]

Love this Succubus 

Do you have views from other sides to see if it would be easy to exchange the weapon ?

Afraid not.  Its from a company called Freebooter.  Might be able to Google it.

What are those from? I think at least the arquebusiers are sculpted by werner klocke (from the facial style)... erm... I did a check myself... both are Freebooter minis by Werner Klocke.   Phear my mad sculptor-style recognizing skillz...   No matter the fact that Klocke's probably the single best known sculptor.

The succubus suggestion is brilliant. I'm rather amused by Klocke's idea of "tit armour" with tits coming out from armour covered just by a thin piece of cloth.

If anything, I'd like an excuse to use this mini in my army:

My friend G and this forum has that sucubus and it a beautiful figure but a lot larger than the Asmodee ones. He has filed it down alot and is going to do something with the base i think.

Also dont the Dopple's come with helmets? if so just put helmets on a few and bobs your uncle 4 different dopples

Those are all Werner Klocke Reaper figs aren't they? I believe there are a TON of variations of the succubus as it's like their 'mascot'.

You could probably use that leather armoured chick as a Female Fencer.

I was already planning on doing 2 Helmetted Dopples... but as they're Unlimited I wouldn't mind having more.

I've got a bunch of loose heads kicking around from Various kits. I suppose I could always just swap those too.

Just saw this one; another good Reaper succubus.

Lots of great Lemures on the Heresy pre-order site!



The Heresy Hellhounds would also make a good Beast of the Abyss...



How kick-ass would the Ascended Angel of Anger be as Sammael???

The Maw of the Abyss is an Independent. I'm not sure of the interest of getting another model than the stock one if you can't field two anyway. Unless you like the sculpt better of course

I've got the Sarcens but have been having similar thoughts for Westeners.

My collection of GW Empire has the Landscheckt look that Asmodee have gone for.  You certanly can get the musketeers and dopplesoldiers from here along with a couple of the Mordhiem mini's and you're probably there.  I have an armoured female D&D priest from god knows where (part of a range of figures all with rucksacks) who also fits the bill.

A Griffin conversion is the other obvious altenative as others have pointed out.

For dopples I was just going to get another box, cut 'em in half and swap the torsos. Admittedly it'll probably take a bit more than that to not make them look drunk, but flipping the sword around on the one not running and putting the running legs on him would look quite cool.

Converting another grenadier pistolier on the other hand is a whole different kettle of fish.

Any conversion/proxy ideas for the alchemist? I have an inkling of an idea of recasting him in resin (for reasons of conversion simplicity), but he's still a rather one-piece sculpt that will be bloody difficult to convert properly. I'd rather use an alt sculpt or parts of sculpts from different manufacturers and sculpt the rest of the details.

Luckily the lancer is a lot more versatile sculptwise (then again, he drains so much CMD - I'm not sure if even two of 'em would be too many to wield properly - not taking the camembert-factor into account).
