Hi all,

I am not very good at converting models so i would like someone to tell me if there is any decent human, elf or dwarf model to form slave units. In the town I live there´s no one who have slave units other than skaven formed, and i dont like my clanrat models fighting as slaves, you know.

I would like to see the faces of my oponents when they see 5 unit of 20 mixed race slaves followed by a rough skaven with a long whip for "motivating them... absorving missile fire (jejejeeee) Dev

Thx

firstly... so, you're planning to have about 100 non-skaven slave models... i like you already! :)

Gnoblars, goblins, peasants/random empires, zombies... any unit that comes in a decent amount per box is good, and if they're pretty rundown looking, even better. Gnoblars and gobbos seem particularly good for the job.

If you have a copy or spot one at a yard sale, pick up a HeroQuest board game. The four main characters might not make great slaves, but there's about 10-12 goblins that would fit the bill. Plus, the HeroQuest game is a treasure trove of bits, including skulls and large rats.

grab a box of empire militia and a box of zombies and mash 'em together, a la the hellpit modelling article

I bitz ordered a sprue of zombies, a sprue of goblins, a sprue of skinks and a sprue of goblins to use as slaves. The zombie bodies will be easy to use, but getting workable heads will be the challengs. The human head on the command sprue is repeated on many other sprues in one form or another, so I've managed to get a little collection of them to use. I thought about gnoblars, but just wasn't inspired after looking at the sprue...

I think the skinks will be the most challenging... not sure what I was thinking when I ordered them. :P

I don´t think that it is stange having 100 slaves because if you already have 3 clanie units you should have another 3 slave units (20 strong), so if you use your 60 slaves as clannies, you need at least 5 slave units.... I think it is the way things should be done... They say size is not important but i think they are wrong....THE BIGGER, THE BETTER (JUAS JUAS JUAS)

I thougt of converting zombies but i want models showing fear and desesperation in their faces, I want ragged clothes, i want nude-poor armed individuals, i dream of fat women with children at their feet..... I would like models ready to use or easy to convert. Does any one know any non "Conan lookig human model" looking as if he had passed a session with a group of clannies????

Thx all again

no sorry, GW dont produce that kind of models. But the Zombies are very good alternative to slaves, jusy look at mine, the cool thing about Zombies is that they look like some ones whos only desire would be to die.

I like that, and i think I might just nick it too :P

I don't like the whole using clanrat models for slaves thing as I'd rather have more of a distinction between my units. I'm going to have 4 slave units (25 models each) one of which is represented by my Pestilens Pusbags.

I'd like to try a unit, maybe two, of those zombies, with a packmaster/slavedriver as a centrepiece. Couple of ghouls thrown in too.

Not entirely sure what to do with the other two units yet.
