I'm looking to start a unit or two of Death Cult Assassins, but I'd rather not buy the GW official ones. Are there any kits, preferably plastic and dual wield swords, that make good count as models? Thanks in advance.

Hi

I don't know about bodies but for heads and weapons i think these would look cool

I do have tons of falchions sitting around. I could do a little kit bashing. I'd just have to figure out bodies lol.

Look at the Dark Age range - their Skarrd have a few grimdark options..

I suppose these fit in as well.

Daughters of the Flame from Warmachine.

The Viktoria's from Malifaux? (regular or Alternate... or both)

There are some good snipers and ninjas in the Infinity range.

You could just use the DE wyches and swap out the pistol with the knife the Guys on the Raiders have.

If you want to use GW models ie/ for gaming instore and tournament, then you could use the dark eldar wyches (swap the pistols for different hand weapons and do a headswap or greenstuff some hoods to hide the pointy ears).

I think his wisdom is still resonating with us today.

I made this suggestion last time this thread came around and the poster really ran with the idea, doing a far better job than I did but for the life of me I can't find his stuff or remember his name.

Stormcrow!

And here's his take

That is also what i'm using!

dark elf corsair and dark eldar wychs seem to be one of the best options

Another vote for DCA out of Wyches!

Thanks for all the great suggestions. After I get done building/restoring a few land raiders I got, I'll probably kit bash some DE wyches with some GK falchions. I might try Dark elves for a second unit.
