want to use some alternate or converted models for my Fiends of Slaanesh but need to know how tall they are from base to top of head. thanks for any help.

I was actually thinking about doing some conversion myself.

I don't have the model, but your best bet is to see one. They're sold in metal blisters, so you could just plop down to a local store and see what they look like. The best way is to look at it in front of you.

Out of curiosity what was your conversion going to be. mine is going to be converted seekers of Slaanesh mounts, while the deamonettes that come in the seekers box are going to ride converted lizard men calvary.

I looked at my LGS and they did not have one, or many of the blisters at that. I wanted to use Chaos Warhounds, but I think they may be too small, so I may end up using them as flesh hounds. I may have to look into using the seeker mounts.

Chaos warhounds are defiantly to small. Seriously look at the tail on the fiends. It's quite high. But like with my seeker conversions, they'll be better than the actual models. I don't really like the soulless eyes they have or the tongue, it just doesn't fit with the rest of the model.


Oh and if your're looking for a cheap conversion for Bloodcrushers, then lord of The Rings Wargs and place a bloodletter on them.

But with all of these, make sure to use the correct base size.

Did some google search and found some people use goblin spiders with a daemonette torso as seekers or fiends. Those seem small to me, but they look cool. I don't play in tournaments, just with friends who like to have fun, so I think the war hounds will work for what I want. I did get the right size bases and built them up so the war hounds would look bigger. I may try to greenstuff a long whip tounge for them as well. Here is what I was thinking of going with.

That seems cool, but it just doesn't seem very slaneesh like to me. The green stuff could help, but it just doesn't have that slannesh "feel".

Warhounds painted "unnatural" and maybe converted a bit make a nice cheap alternative for fleshhounds, but they're literally half the height (if that) of Fiends.

If you want plastic (and cheaper) Fiends, a popular option is the plastic Chaos Spawn box. Make them with lots of tentacles and paint them in Slaaneshi colors.

I'm thinking that a little greenstuff could make them work... two ideas:

displacer type dogs, paint them an odd color, like a grey with a purpllish hint, add 2 to 4 tentacles and that would fit the theme.

or

go all the "thing" with them and do lots of little tentacles and bursting out mutations(all bloody and wet), while not the typical adults only slaanesh theme, it would just look very cool and the "inner beast" would lend to the models game stats.

Chaos Spawns would be awesome, but I already bought the warhounds so I will try to convert them first. The spawns seem to have a lot of bitz per box, if i was able to pick up some extra bodies online would there be enough heads, arms, bitz to make up two extras?
