Well I finished a squad of five scout snipers. I do not like the jay leno heads they provide with the kit, so I added wood elf hooded heads to it for a more stealthy feel.

I used this as inspiration...

Now with 100% less skulls. Thats right, no stupid skulls on the models.

Whaddya think of it?

**Jester**

Very nice.

**Clang**

looks good, the heads are in proportion and look natural. But without those cloaks, they'd just look too weird...

**Symbio Joe**

They look like Super Woodelfs, no, Space Elfes,no, Eldar Rangers on steroids,no, cool Scouts, no, I don't know what I should think my brain hurts.

**Infantryman**

Nice job. I should post my scout conversion some time--though its not this cool

**ironKing**

Yeh the hoods are very cool... i was thinking of taking a set of Cadian Legs and Arms - putting them on a SM body and making a scout... will have to trim the body a little to make it skinier.

Then was thinking of a cloak and hood, then i thought it would be very cool to have a face mask - kind of like what the "cowboy" witch hunter inquisitor has.

**Anung Un Rama**

ninja scouts! they look forward to killing you soon.

and did Jester just actually said something...well, normal?

Thats exactly what I did--I used a SM chest, cadian legs and arms, and SM weapons & wargear--I had considered making a scout army at some point.

**alarmingrick**

schweeeeet! did you also do the drawing?

**MR.B**

Not to beat a dead dog but, nice idea!

Do all the scouts in a wood elf box set come with hoods?

Nope. Thats actually a GW concept art that isnt supposed to be shwon around, but it helps me show what inspired me, and a reason to give out a little bit off stuff that shouldnt be seen.

**Infantryman**

Again, nice job. Simple yet effective conversions are the best pieces for inspiration.

**ancientsociety**

Beautiful! I'll have to consider that for my IG snipers

**Task and Purpose**

Any chance you can switch your camera to Macro and get some close up shots...FYI its a button that sometimes looks like a flower. Thanks and I dig the heads.

**ironKing**

the scouts - did they come with the cloaks? and you just added the elven hooded heads? - thought about giving one or two night vision gogs... may look quite cool

**Darkchild**

Why didn't you post these in the wasteland, you inconsiderate chimp!
Nice work, they look set to go and mug somebody's Gran outside a mall.

They're very well done.

**upliftingprimer**

**Clayman**

**beef**

**syr8766**

Ninjas!

I dig it. Let's see 'em painted.

And yeah, post the close-ups ONLY on the Wasteland to make up for our hurt feelings...

**ironKing**

what is "the Wasteland" - i feel like im missing out on some really important 40k stuff.

**KiMonarrez**

We could tell you... but then... ah you know the rest.

**Infantryman**

Yea, you gotta be "in" to know the secret.

**beef**

yeah you need to have the special handshake.... . ... .

ummm what we talking about??

**Clayman**

i hope it aint the EoT...

**syr8766**

The reality of the OT is far more hideous and traumatic than your pitiful, shackled mind can imagine. Those who behold it are struck dumb with terror as the insanity rends their miserable perception of reality apart and tosses the halves into the void. That way be madness, friends. That way be despair and misery. That way...be dragons.

**Shattered Soul**

Invisible ninjas rule the jungle!

**Darkchild**

Be thankful for your ignorance, the wasteland chews up unprepared minds and leaves behind lifeless empty husks.

It is a land where pirates and ninjas battle for all eternity, the land of Goatse and tubgirl, of snakes on planes and more insanity than you can possibly handle.

You don't find the wasteland, it finds you.

**Anung Un Rama**

as far as I know the "wasteland"

**Anung Un Rama**

as far as I know the "wasteland" is another name for the OT zone, another tabletop forum, only that they got more people like Jester
