converting nekima

[ilikepizza]

well, I need a nekima model for October, and, since its not going to be released until some time after October I may have to proxy her (its for a tournament). However, if some nice people could help me come up with some ways of converting her that would be great, although it would still need to be roughly in scale.

Also, before any one says it, I don't think a mature nephilim would convert well into a female, the musculature of the model is too masculine for it to really work, although thats where i'd probably pinch the wings from.

How large do we expect Nekima to be? What base size is she

There are a few places that do really nice 28-32mm female demons with wings but they are not huge.

My personal fave for a model like that would be the third one down.

I may be using that mini for Nekima despite the height issue and was hoping I could get away with just placing her on a larger base but I get the idea this would not be as impressive as you are looking for.

that models perfect...but your right, assuming thats a 20mm base, it is a bit small.
she's supposed to be roughly mature nephilim size (although i would say a bit lither). Cheers for howing me that though, i'm sure people wouldn't mind you using that model, of ourse this is the part where you tell me that she was actually on a 40mm square base, right? :D

Think Female Mature Nephilim with a big-a$$ sword (3-inch reach) and she's on a 50mm

And someone else posted this pic in another thread http://www.wyrd-games.net/forum/show...=14176&page=4:

Possibly something like this could work with a spot of converting skill

Again probably too small. I will post any other ideas in this post to prevent cluttering the place up.

Edit:

Not sure as to the scale on this one. The model is expensive which always says slightly bigger to me so might work if you strap some big wings to it.

I pinched a set of Dragon Wings off another model, and I'm just conna smack 'em onto either Lilith or probably a Demoness from 40k.
A succubi could also work, and you could get it pre-painted. *shrug*

Here's a thread full of likely candidates:

The size may be an issue, but the Freebooters model looks like ust the ticket.

There's another Freebooter succubus with wings but she may be too large.

Okay my attempt to link didn't work, she's called CHA 005 Succubus.

I have several Reaper Sophies but all of them are either too large (72mm) or too small. Hopefully it won't be too long before she comes out. I'm always torn on proxying. I like to have something to use, but by the time I buy the model and possibly paint it, the original is usually out.

To point out, I've seen the Freebooter figure suggested in person, and I'd say it's perfect size - that's a 25mm square base, so it's about Mature Nephalim size.

whats the legality of using unreleased miniatures in tournament settings? As far as Wyrd is concerned is the book release make everything in it fair game?
