Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone knew a cheaper way to get some witch elves conversion wise without eBay, thanks.

Got it.
As it happens, I've done quite a few kitbashed witches. It's not terribly complicated... which is not ths same as saying it is simple, unfortunately.
There are two main sources of parts for this kitbash. One is Corsairs, and the other the DE warrior set. You'll use Corsair arms (primarily sword and dagger-armed), legs, and (non-helmeted) heads with the female warrior torso.
You'll need to use a VERY sharp knife to clean the mail out of the sleeves of the corsair arms, since the witches are unarmored.
I use a dremel and a circular cutting bit to hollow out the bottom of the warrior torso so it somewhat matches the curve of the top of the corsair legs. You can do it the other way too - flattening the top of the corsair legs to match the bottom of the warrior torso. Just be aware of the angle, if you're off her pose will look odd.
You'll need to provide some sort of neck to go between the corsair head and the warrior torso. Either a 1/16" long section of 1/8" tube, or a tiny blob of green stuff suffices.
That takes care of the basic assembly. I paint mine with black leather gloves, boots, and bustier (showing plenty of cleavage).
For optional improvements:
1) For pirates, Corsairs have NO booty whatsoever. Use a little bit of greenstuff to sculpt some junk in the witches' trunk. It's not as hard as you might think.
2) If you have them laying around (say, from the ever-popular Glade Rider -> Dark Rider conversion), Wood Elf heads have a much more feminine appearance than Corsair heads. You can even cut the hair from Corsair heads and add it to the Wood Elf heads.
Wood Elf torsos are a bit too... woodsy, not to mention fully-clothed, to adequitely serve for our nearly-naked brides of Khaine.
