Been wanting to use the Psyker Battle Squad for IG and have been looking for a nice conversion that's fairly easy. I really like the Skaven Plague monks because they are all hooded and I think that would look really cool for them...however they have rat faces and tails. I'm going to cut off the tails and have been thinking of replacing the heads with the head below.

What do you guys think? Think it will look ok?

Hmm, I reckon those would look pretty cool. I just finished my own Psyker battle squad buy using an Empire Flagellent kit and a bunch of bits from catachan and cadian sprues. I just replaced all the flail ends with chain swords.

That could definitely work though!

They are nicer looking models than the frankly rubbish flagellants but are you okay with them being dwarfs?

That'd be a really interesting hunched look. You'd need to worry about more than the heads and tails though, as their feet and hands are conspicuously non-human too. So it'd take a good amount of work to really pull off well, I think. The heads would be good heads though.

I dont know whether it will imo. Skaven are at least 1cm smaller than your average guardsmen, not to metion the conspicuous non-humanity about them, wheich is difficult to conceil, how about these guys? Maybe paint them with glowing eyes to make them look more a physker, although possibly a little too feral

Hmmm..too feral for me but thanks for the suggestion!

Do you guys think that the Skaven will be too short for the heads?
