Howdy! I'm looking to start an Iron Crows army, seen here:

https://wh40khomebrew.fandom.com/wiki/Iron_Crows

They have Penitent units that are Astartes that are basically like the Sororitas Repentia -- stripped of armor, wearing rags, wielding eviscerators, etc.

I'm sure I can find eviscerators and chain axes, even heads, but I can't find bodies that would work for these guys: big, muscular, Astartes-sized. All the barbarians I've looked at have furs, skulls, teeth, long "Conan" hair, etc., and I'd like to have as little of that stuff as possible.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find some minis like this? Even if they're beefcake/pin-up style, I can add loincloths and weapons, as long as the pose isn't too goofy/sexy. 3D prints are probably best, as they can be scaled.

I'm kinda surprised there aren't any "Astartes without armor" minis out there -- at least, none that I could find.

Thanks!

Edit: coulda swore it said they didn't wear armor. Still, I think it'd be a neat idea to make them unarmored.

Necromunda Goliaths?

Manufaktura miniatures has this guy... with and without the body plug things.

You would have to give him pants though.

Benefit here is he is supposed to be a space marine. So size should be correct. But he is "out there" in all his glory as the site features NSFW stuff. The link is directly to him though and he has a censor bar covering his "stuff".

Right on, thanks! I've got some Goliaths gathering dust, I'll take a look at them. 👍👍

Thanks for the nekkid Astartes link, too, that could work!

The night lords kill team has the upper portion of a astartes. I'm looking at it for use in a funeral parade kit bash. It ends just above the hips but cut right should mesh well with marine pants/greves for modeling

I think I found a good solution: scaled-up "not arco-flagellants." Replace the arms and heads, and they could be rag-clad repentant Astartes.

Fantasy Chaos Marauders? Either 2000s TOW models or more recent Age O'Sigmar models.

They'd have loin clothes rather than pants but are properly beefy and can take marine heads.

How is everything going?
