Lhamaeans

Hi guys,

The other day I picked up a box of Wyches and planned to convert them into a Succubus & some Lhamaeans.

Succubus is done (see project log), but, I don't think the Lhamaens will look different enough.

So, what do you guys use as Lhameaens?

I did search 1st and didn't find any old posts?

Rewind

Hmmm I'm still in planning phase for mine because I too want to try and make them as different as possible without forking over too much coin. I'm thinking Kabalite legs, female torso, the helmet-less head from the Scourge and any sword I can find. I plan on making two (running double CAD) but don't want the poses to be the same.....

I plan to go slightly the other way.

I made my Succubus conversion intentionally more stationary, so that hopefully 5 dynamic Whych legs, then female warrior chest (for the 5+) will keep them different. Heads I'm slightly stuck on, I don't really want to use Wych heads, but don't personally like the Hellion ones enough.

Even if I eventually change them up, it's still a Succubus & 4 Lhamaean from a box of Wyches & some spare Warrior bits. Bargain!

I have a converted Alarielle which I sometimes use as a Lhamaean, othertimes as a Spiritseer or a Shadowseer.

I converted mine from a vampire counts model and a few wych parts

Wow, some nice ideas there guys

For now I've just gone for the female warrior chests with the rest just Wych parts.

They do kinda just look like Wyches, but they have all the wargear as per their codex entry and since I'm not planning on actually running Wyches, I should be good, right?

There is no rule to say something HAS to look like the GW model right? Just the weapons & has to have the correct wargear? (In casual games, this matters even less, if at all?)

Since you are not running wyches at the same time there should not be any problems as there should be no confusion as to what those models count as.

That's a cool model.

I'm thinking of what to do if I ever need Lhamaeans myself. I'm using the actual Lhamaean model for my Archon so if I ever do use them I wanna try and make some male Lhamaeans to be her companions.

The old fantasy mini's are probably a good place to start for model conversions. wyches can be turned into Lhamaeans too but personally I'd like to add a little swank and aristocratic flair to them. Or possible go the opposite route and go all S&M slave killer with the Wyche models.

Hi, I looked at the plastic wrack models and realized that the waist is quite close to that of the fine cast Lhamean. I took the wrack waist and put a wych torso on top of it. I quite like the result, it looks a bit grimmer than the GW version, but similar and distinct enough to not be
mistaken for wyches. The feet look a bit off though.

That looks pretty good, actually.

To make the feet (or any Wrack parts, for that matter) look smoother, you just need to take a not too sharp knife and scrape the wrinkles off.

Nice work & welcome to the City!

I think once she's painted it'll all tie together really well, although I agree the sandals are a bit out of place.

Maybe a little Green Stuff, to just smooth them out into boots?

Great conversion

I think the sandals are fine. DE love pain. And nothing invites more pain than tromping through a debris-ridden battlefield in open-toed sandals. Imagine the stubbed toes. It would be extraordinary!

This is great!
Loving it, and stealing the idea.

@Scrz: Please do!

Thanks for all the foot-related advice, we'll see if she gets a pedicure.
