Hello, in renegate and heretics chaos has acces to the Malefic Lords a human psyker to the dark gods, wich model conversion would you use? if you wanted to make more than one ?
The forge world models are a bit pricey and not that nice.

The cultist champion with the shotgun and trench coat is a nice model. I use them.
But, really, as long as it's distinctive and human-sized, anything goes.

If you want something crazed, you could use the Flagellants (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Empire-Flagellant-Warband) as a base, and add Chaos markings and whatnot.

Could be for causual games but i could need to use them in tournament too not sure if they are different enough or if accepted in tournaments.

I'd go with a Reaper mini that has a robe and wizard hat, just for laughs.

Is there an official model for the Malefic Lord? I looked through RH stuff on it recently and the only thing close was those two rogue psykers - which are presumably for the rogue psyker coven.

I know this is a bit of a thread necro, but I will be using flagellants, as was already mentioned. The major modification I will be making is using these heads (http://maxmini.eu/conversion-bits/head-swaps/brotherhood-heads-bits). I might need to find or sculpt some hands since they are not equipped with anything.

Since they are 30pts, can cast smite, and are HQ, I'm going to have 2 HQ detachments considing of 4 of them each and stick them all in a chimera. Drive it up and unleash an outrageous amount of mortal wounds. Plus if they perils they go bonkers and can punch things forever. A couple bonus CP never hurt either!

Hopefully this helps someone as I found this thread through ye old google search.

I've been using this fella I converted out of a bloodletter, for anyone who wants some less human ideas.

The picture isn't loading :(

Edit: When you mentioned bloodletters, I thought I could maybe just use the hands for the malefic lords, but the bloodletters only open hand is the left one, which would look weird. So I took a look and found that crypt ghoul hands would be perfect, so I just ordered a bunch on ebay. I'm excited to use these!

I wouldn't invest too much time or money into these as Reece has already said they are on the watch list and in line for adjustment. Maybe that takes a few months or maybe a week who knows. Just a heads up for those who might be looking into the expensive options or before you invest into a bunch of them.

Dang. Well hopefully it isn't too bad. I anticipate a change along the lines of making their smite worse (aka one 1 MW instead of D3 like the sorcerer in a unit of rubric marines).

Edit: also the pic is showing up now. That's a really cool conversion! Reminds me of DOOM. Which I love!

I'd consider a AoS character model, which one depends on what of the gods your heretic army is dedicated to.

$17 for the ones I got.

They come with 5 guys. I had to do a little conversion work in cutting off the guns but it was simple.
