Description This unit is made of the first 10 of my 20 Deathcult assasins I have.
These are converted using Wyches and High Elve swords, I even cut all their ears so they wouldn´t have the elvish look anymore.

It is really funny that they are way fatter than the original models. but Wyches have strengh 3 while the tinier and thinner deathcult assasins have strengh 4 o. O.....
Never question the Imperium.

I want more of these they are so cool.
Did I mention that I love red hair? ; D

This is the base I build my next project, my assasin Army, on. (more about that here: thebl4ckcat.deviantart.com/jou… )

Wow! Soooo cool!

Hummmm... I guess it's because wyches are Eldar, so their bodies are made more for agility than brute strength... Or maybe the fanaticism of the Deathcult just grant some hysterical strength to their assassins (that kind of weirdly superhuman strength insane or drugged people sometimes show, powered by excessive adrenaline )

I don´t think you understood it the way I wanted to say it.

The original models look like the more agil models, they are way to slim and tiny to have strengh.
Both assasin types use drugs, but the human use implants too, this is why they are stronger.

If you compare The eldar models to the deathcult models. than the eldar models look very fat and bulky

This is the original www.games-workshop.com/resourc…

Oh yeah, the look awesome! This cult will look great. 
Is there even an official version of the cult that you can look up? (maybe some artworks?)

the original models look like this miniset.net/files/set/gw-99800… or for a specialist game these wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/…

There are 4 known deathcults (even though there are many more assasin cults not only the deathcults as several times mentioned in different books, which I cannot name anymore :/ )

qoute by lexicanum. (I didn´t know the haemovores and the moritat )
and these are sick killing machines.

The Imeprium is so huge that you have no problem to make an assasin army that is within the lore.

20 of those would look kind of odd ^^

I am happy to see that others like them too, since the are the base for most deathcult conversions I´ll do.

Mmmmneh...I see you have changed the swords, but I think they could use more conversion work.

TheBl4ckCat In reply to Dgs-Krieger [2015-03-25 17:54:53 +0000 UTC]

tell me how I could convert them and I´ll try to do it,
I thoough a long time about converting models for the deathcult,
but there is simply nothing else existing in the Gw range of models.
and trust me nobody wants a whole army out of these miniset.net/files/set/gw-99800…
there are only these 2 positions.

anyways, the Imperium is extremely big and there are countless of assasin cults,
this i why I will even use models that look nothing like the Original, to show one of the cults that aren´t that popular.
If you have no free mind in model range that fits the Lore than it is impossible to do an entire army.

I´m gathering ideas all the time, I try to improove with what I´m doing and therefore of course I want to hear new ideas how I could improove

if I am not able to get the idea into reality or if it would be  too expensive than I will not do it of course.

but I want to try.


Without trying new thongs there is nop improovemebt possible

"Without trying new thongs there is nop improovemebt possible"

You have the best typos. XD

Anyways, if you say so...First, I would have get ridden of the buns and pitails, and maybe swapped some heads. I would have cut off every single spike. They look like psichos, but they have to look like IMPERIAL psichos, and those don't wear curved spikes. Straight, short ones, perhaps. If you can get your hands on fantasy Flagellants parts, they may work too.

I would also paint the skirts as if they were pieces of patchment.

I think that's it...I would need to make my own tests.

Was I that tired? x.x I´m not hitting the right buttons ahhhhh

I didn´t cut the things off, becouse this isn´t made by the Inquisition, they only recruit them from the tousands of different cults,
some Inquisitors even use true Deamons to do their work.
Basically at least all deathcults are extremely near of being chaos cultists, since there are some that kill for khorne.
Therefore you can expect everything from them. Like the deathcult of Haemovores.   wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Haemo…
So I will have to think about changing the armour, but I could be that I just leave it as it is.
Headswapping is not possible, Gw has no female heads you can use, at least I never found any.

Flaggelants are good Henchmen, but I don´t think I could make assasins out of them, at least I´m judging that from pics of Flaggelants around the net.
I tried to paint one as parchment, looked horrible and using one of the 1000 parchment seals you get as space marine looked bad on them too :/

In the end I´ll look into the armour again, but the heads I´ll not change, the Imperium is huge, therefore nearly everything is possible,
since only Corteaz has his own Army and the other Inquisitors prefer recruiting them.
As long as they fight for the Emperior, some Inquisitors really don´t care.

Imperial Assassins are weird fuckers like that. Though I guess it comes with the whole thing. Anyway I thought these were dark elves/eldar for a second.

TheBl4ckCat In reply to herobrine67 [2015-03-25 08:52:57 +0000 UTC]

they are made from a box of dark eldar and most parts are from them, but I cut the ears ; P

you have a hard time finging female human heads (there are no seperate ones) therefore I just switched out the weapons.
but there is simply no other way, you don´t want to use these www.games-workshop.com/resourc… over and over again.
as I already mentioned, they only have these 2 models and are so tiny it´s really funny.
