[list]I'm building an army of Slaanesh marines and daemons, and so want a Keeper of Secrets to bring with me. Her name is Hamony, and I want to do a conversion for her using a Broodlord as my base. I'm looking for two pieces of advice:

-How significant is the height difference between the GW KoS and the Broodlord?
-I have all the parts I need for the planned conversion, aside from the head. Any ideas?

I think the height difference between the two is fairly significant. If you're looking for a scale, the KoS is about on par with a Daemon Prince (sans wings).

Broodlord would probably be about half its height. Can get around that by raising it up through the conversion though.

Yeah, the Broodlord is in a 40mm base as standard, the KoS come on a 60mm.

The Tyrant is probably a better fit size wise with a similar aesthetic, or if it doesn't have to be GW based I can suggest one or two other minis that might work?

I want something mean, muscly and armored. I'll take whatever suggestions you have.

Hmm, not the direction I'd normally expect to go with a KoS, so perhaps not so easy to make a suggestion but what about this guy?



The Archvenger from Pegaso Models.

Personally I'd leave the wings, but you might want to remove them for WYSIWYG purposes, spare wings are always useful in a daemons army!



This guys from the same range (Pegaso Gehenna)

Most of the others I'd suggest are a similar look to the FW KoS (Mierce do a more human looking one for instance)
