Alternative Magus models?

[shadowfinder]

Any ideas on a Magus models thaT are cheaper then the 60 dollar box for he's??

Anything from warmachine or something. I am looking for two more mature and one primues likely.

Thoughts one other companies?

High Elf mages may be able to play the part, shave the ears and hair and they should do ok

Check out models from fantasy too, just about every army has wizards. A bit of converting could get you something pretty awesome.

I think I'm going to use my custom prime as a Magus.

I don't have a pic handy but...
A Zoanthrope head on a Warrior torso, 4 legs made from scy tals. Arms are magnetized, so I'll throw 4 RCs on him (close enough to hands).

I'll have to work on making a sick looking staff from bits and throw a magnet on it and I'll magnetize one of the RC palms so he's holding it.

This could look really good I think & be super unique.

Like other people have noted elf mage seem like a good stand in.

If you don't get the kit you'll likely miss out on the familiars, which seem like they will be a common upgrade. Plus w/e other wargear comes in it.

$60 per Magus is pretty high though. Kind of robbery for a single small model.

you don't need the familiars though. models will just get in the way.

So are the familiars not models that have attacks/wounds? Are they just for show/indication and it only matters that you counted the points?

[valdrog]

familiars can be made from individual Ripper models, just ad a bit here and there, Boom, done.
They dont have wounds or anything, they just need to be represented, cant be killed or anything

[gigasnail]

they don't even need to be represented. they're just there for flair.

You see Brain here.. has 36 pieces of flair. While I see you only have the bare minimum of 10. I just want you to feel like you can express yourself.

Lols had to reference Office Space once the word flair was used

A While back my friend made for me a "broodlord" which was a farseer model with a genestealer head. That's my 2nd magus

Hadn't thought of the eldar// elf product line

Would these be the right height for 40k?

Are warmachine the same size as 40K?

Empire wizard isn't too far off, for a starting point at least. www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Empire-Battle-Wizards

Reasonable amount of customization, too.

I dig those wizards
