Maybe it turns out that "feet with skin like a new-born's" is a surprisingly common Chaos mutation? Bet GW are kicking themselves (ha!) they left that one off those endless, endless charts in Lost and the Damned.

My guess is the solution will be found in the next addition to the Citadel Technical range. Or perhaps several solutions: corns, blisters, raw flesh, calloused flesh, etc. according to taste.

I pity those fighting the female gang members. You know what they say, 'Hell hath no fury like a woman's corns'.

Barefooted guys are my personal pet peeve in 40k..
Its 40K...
Even Romans wore sandals :P

I agree to conversion potential. Those guys could be straight 40k cultist, and with minor weapon swaps will be just perfect.
Heads are really good and I like those halos.

I hope that Warcry will be playable. I am looking for cool climatic fantasy skirmish (AoS  skirmishes left me cold) with more models than Underworlds
Romans wore sandals (soleae) indoors and shoes or boots (calcei) outdoors...

I don't mind bare-feet, as it'll allow me to sculpt on a variety of shoes, depending on the socioeconomic status of the figure.

Not my favorite but it is quite unique.

Helmets remind my of Idoneth deepkin

Hmm...the models are nice enough but the lore...the lore...their wargear and whatnot is clearly well made and they are displaying martial skills suggesting a line of masters and yet they are described "as mad as the most frothing cultist of Tzeentch". Madness does not a culture make.

Eh?

The models remind me of the bad old days of Citadel, when they couldn't quite decide how to represent Chaotc tendencies on a model, so decided to stick a Christmas decoration on their heads. What could be crazier than a mad hat, right?

Take the big fans off and you're left with an unsettling mask that conceals ... what? Would've been much better I reckon. Nothing a sharp knife can't solve no doubt.

I like the helmets. Its good place to put the colour on these models. I dont like the bathing suits. although I have to salute them for wearing sandals for once :P


And ties in nicely with modern elf styling


 IMHO helmets are little to heavy for bikini clad, but while ranking them around 5th place for my favorite Warcry band - I still like them.

Did some quick photoshoppy things for altered Cypher minis:

No plume:



No "any of that excessive headgear":



A Kairic Acolyte head (no idea how they will actually scale):



And finally, while I was planning to try some Daughters of Khaine mask, I figured a normal head with some sort of veil might fit the aesthetics too:

Wow...that does make quite a difference without the OTT headwear. I think the Kairic Acolyte head works the best.

Well, I didn't post them on FB...   lol
Put them on DakkaDakka earlier today though, wonder how quickly they ended up travelling.

EDIT: new article online, with all kinds of information, including a release date: 3rd of August, pre-orders from next Saturday.
