ok sooo...lol
im in the new phases of my IG and im really interested finding some accurate scale female alternate models to blend in w/ my Cadian style troops. I really enjoy the mixed regiment 40k fluff and im sure it can be done... any advice at all will really help! thanks in advance for any responses and help you can give

Really, bulky flak vests and equipment would obscure hips and breasts, so you really only need to worry about heads/faces. I suggest Eldar and wood elf heads. Perhaps make them a little shorter than the male troopers?

thats a great idea just bit them out huh?

Yep. Nice and easy to do, reasonably cheap especially if you have any friends who play an elf army who might trade you bitz, and can look really good. Besides, most female heroic scale models are either in catsuits or almost naked, they'd look silly next to cadians.

i agree its hard to just find usable scale models that aren't peep shows lol

Have a look at the Hasslefree adventurers with helmets on. They are of a slighter build than Cadians, but still usable. Also have a look at the Studio McVey female guardsman, I've no idea about the scale as I'm still waiting for mine. There is also Infinity, I believe the females they do are comparable.

I just found a mention of these female heads on TGN from Micro Art Studios. They do great work. The hair is short, but they are soldiers, and you could always do some putty work to give them long hair if you wanted.

thanks alot guys! Has anyone actually seen the infinity mini's up close some of the snipers are great! i just wonder if they are "shudders" TOO DYNAMIC for GW lol!
