Thanks for the heads up! Personally only have wyches box but if GW excelled at one thing it is providing cool plastic kits made for kit-bashing. Especially that lady with cat looks interesting

I love the mini in the middle, but I have no immediate application for it. It's too big for WFB. And Elves haven't properly ported to AoS yet.
I love me a bowl of numbers to crunch for breakfast. If you need anything theoryhammered, I gladly take requests.

I've got a few ideas; basis for conversions of:

- Daemon Prince
- Wood Elf Alter
- On top of a Cauldron of Blood (as a Laughing God or variant of Khaine)

Especially that lady with cat looks interesting


Agree. Cat looks ace!

Since she's in a futuristic version of a Victorian era dress, I'm guessing she's wearing a bustle under it to give that impression.

Or at least she was sculpted to look that way...

For those considering the conversion potential of Yvraine, it's not apparent from the photo there, but looking at her sprue, she does actually have two fully-detailed legs under those huge skirts. Which means using her without the skirts looks to be as easy as cutting down a couple of pegs on her hips and maybe some very minor greenstuff work.

A cauldron if blood would be cool for that guy.
You could also just use him ar a hydra or Kraken in T9A or 8th.
The lady chick would also make a good Vampire.
