Maybe GW should make some more PDF mini-dexes for all the sub-factions.

There's no money in PDFs, so it's unfortunately unlikely

My Catachans always remind me of Starship Troopers, after Rico and his team become hardened veterans and get tattooed. Their gung-ho attitude and appearance are a welcome sight amongst the grimdarkness.

Yeah, thats what I like about them. They also remind me of the Aliens Colonial Marines, like Hicks. Hudson is the guy who gets shot by the Commissar for cowardice, "Game over man! Game over!" Lol

Yeah, as to the PDF's I guess GW is no longer the fun creative modeling company they used to be. Money seems to be all that matters.

There is, its just all indirect sales so GW can't think that far.

I found a load of old plastic Catachans and I was going to convert them into cultists but they are so malproportioned they just look terrible. I think I will just stick to the Dark Vengeance versions.

Yeah, cats are a bit big for the shrimpy cultists. I think the armor saves should be swapped though!

I was actually doing Ungor head swaps and they still look out of proportion.

ungor heads on cats or cultists?

Catachans, they were for use as cultists not the actual cultist models.

Really? Maybe use Ungor bodies/legs and just Catachan arms?

Unless you don't like the whole hooved thing.

Use some 3rd party arms and heads. The torsos/legs are pretty good and I'd still use them at least. Victoria mini's makes some awesome bare arm lasgun arms that would work great for Catachans, and you could use all sorts of heads with them.

I was only going to use them out of cheapness and buying 3rd party extras to make them look ok would cost me more than just Ebaying the Dark vengeance cultists.

Yeah, I got 40 cultists for about $20 the other day on Ebay. So about 12.50 GBP. Good deal imo. Maybe you should just go with those. Or you could even put some ungor heads on DV cultists if you wanted to.

Too much effort. They do work well with Cadians though.

Ok then are you just going to go with the standard DV cultists?

This thread seems dead. Oh well, I think it worked pretty good. I really heard some people's opinions about the Catachans and it was pretty cool. I got to know why people don't like them and in the most part, it was only models, not fluff. So I thank everyone for the chance to explore that topic and get some opinions.
Thanks again,

Orks kill them anyways lol
