Blade Maiden Leader
by Ian "Fox" Herrmann
I'm converting her, as well as 6 of her scantily clad friends, to be used as a scout deployment in my Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine army. They are my "Wolf Maidens"
I wanted the leader to be special, and the sword supplied is, in my opinion... anything BUT. It just appeared exceedingly boring as a weapon... so I dug through my bitz, and found the Eldar Harlequin High Avatar. He had a REALLY nifty looking sword, so I cut of his arm at the elbow, and tried to splice his hand onto her arm. This did not work. There were issues of proportion to deal with... But I wanted to keep the basket hilt of the sword with all the little heart shape cut-outs, so I just cut the rest of his arm of down to the wrist, then cut off the mail cuff of her gauntlet that was holding her sword, and attatched her cuff to his hand. This worked to my satisfaction. Then I gave her a Space Marine Bolter.
I painted her with Testors model paints for the most part, using Games workshop Snakebite Leather for the inside of the wolf pelt and the boots.all the bare skin needed SOMETHING, so I decided to give her some tatoos that resembled the ones I'm going to give her father, when I get around to modelling him. His will be blue, hers are black.
