FOr my IG army, i plan to have the troops varied in race and gender for my IG army (for some variety, yanno?)


SO, my question is this, how would i go about making female cadians?

Im not looking for porn star/supermodels/that kinda thing.

just regular women, so to speak

Possibly shadowforge

Bewbs, sculpt bewbs, and some female head avalible from

A bit butch though, unless you wanted the feminine look?

Is it just me, or are those both really ugly?
I'd be more inclined to use these, from Hasslefree minis. They would require you to sculpt their hair however.

those are great! i can totally use those with no problem.


Is shadowforge good for international deliveries? seeing as i live in south africa, that might be a problem

There was an article on here a while ago detailing female Cadians ( a guy had sculped a load of sprues etc), if you just google search female cadians/guard or the like you'll probably find it.

Something like this: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/236976.page

Does anyone have anymore links or suggestions?


I need torsos, mostly, heads will be easy to convert, i have many ideas

Well, they're Australian, so by all rights you should have less problems with delivery than most of the rest of us, being on the opposite hemisphere.

Unfortunately, im unsure if that female scifi pack will fit on IG, it is in 32mm scale.

I'm pretty sure it's made for IG Cadians, really. What other conceivable purpose could it serve?

1.) Tins Bits sells exactly the bits you are looking for: http://www.tinsbits.com/webshop/index.php/cPath/7/category/upgrade.html
2.) There once was a limited run of female Cadians sanctioned by GW and organized by Dr. Death, but this is history.
3.) Shadowforge makes good female Catachans, the other complete female unit I remember was from Starship Trooper, but these are OOP as well.
4.) Several companies sell female heads, incuding Hasslefree and Micro Art Studio.

Regarding my comment above, i really couldnt say about delivery from shadowforge as i never used them, the link was just a result from a google forum i found after a google search for female imperial guard. though i wouldd have a look as it kinda interested me also

They have some models that might do. I haven't ever ordered from them. There is the Escher gang necromunda (not great as cadians however) GW still sell on there website or you could try ebay. Check out Reaper and Infinity too.

Those are the ugliest heads I've ever seen. They're awful and shouldn't be used by anyone.

http://www.lostclan.net/Lostclan/Store.html

anyone bought any of these? they look good from what I can see.

I was able to purchase some of the female IG made by Dark Soul (AKA Thomas Sexton). They are a little pricey, but they look good IMHO. I got mine just this past year, so they are still available, but he usually makes them when ordered, so it takes a little longer.

He can be reached at tsexton@cincom.com

Those are Horrible!

Use those Hasslefree heads the way they are: If Men shave their heads in the grimdark future so they can be soldiers, why not women?

Furthermore: There are no black Cadians.

Technically, my guys arent going to be cadians, just use the cadian models as a base for them

So many guardsmen from so many places that every regiment has racial diversity.

i've sold of all of mine although i did just find one so maybe i was wrong. mainly cause my guard amry kinda stalled.

its also worth noting that they tend to look better with the elysian or renegade arms if y ou can get hold of them. or the caidian command sprue arms which ar for some reasons a bit smaller.

here are a couple of pics of the lost clan model sform an earlier run.
its worth bearing in mind i spend a lot of time converting and in my bok if youw ant these girsl to look good you'll need to as well, i'd suggest mixing the lost clans oens with many other bit sand other female type models epsecially heads as they are a bit limited. also make sure you have plenty of accessories the waists can look a bit odd

Mantic has just put on preorder this set of 4 Hasslefree Miniatures:

You could try these torsos, you could paint them as it for a tank top/light armor look; or add thin greenstuff clothing on top. I like them could they have realist proportions:

and these heads. They're pretty good compared to some of the ugly female heads out there:

http://www.shop.microartstudio.com/women-heads-p-360.html

They look good.

The shadowforge torsos are perfect, actually. I got some before Christmas.

Sisters of guard eh? Looking good so far

@Sgt Roadkill, where did you get the plastic/resin autogun that the female heavy bolter team member is carrying?
