Hi! Could someone help me here?

I thinks a Crysis Nanosuit look (see below if you are not familiar) could work great for Eldar Dark Reapers or Striking Scorpions, with the bulky-but-organic look, and I plan to convert from plastic whichever of them I end fielding.

My problem is I can't think of a good base model in plastic. I think I could pull off the conversion with greenstuff, but it's more of a hassle and I would prefer the more direct route. It also helps to have a more consistent look across different models.

Any idea? Any company will work as long as the models are plastic (I could consider pseudo-Finecast if they were really nice and fitting).

Thanks!

It looks a lot like GW'S vindicare assassin.
There have been a few versions now although they are all fairly static so possibly only good as Dark Reapers.

I'm going more after the wiry, muscle-y look than the general ressemblance (which admitedly the Vindicare pulls off great). I don't think I could convert a whole unit from plastic Vindicares (single pose plus expensive), but I will keep it in mind just in case thanks.

I'm wondering if the Kairic Acolytes of Tzeentch could be a good base. They have a lot of exposed muscle which could be painted as artificial muscle bundles, and their poses lend themselves for crouching Striking Scorpions.

What about Maelstrom's Edge Karist Shadow Walkers?

This looks really nice! The price is a bit high for two of them, but they are on my list now

If you got the patience you could paint them on your self.

Over which model?

this was the effect i remember seeing. just do it in greys



why not just on normal eldar bodies.

Normal Eldar bodies are just too skinny and don't have the rounded shapes I need.

However, that example will be very useful in case I need to replicate the effect with paint. Thanks!
