the Champion of the newly released Executioners inspired me to do something special with. I like the models (except for their skull masks ) and thought of doing a scenic base with the slain High Elf whos head he is holding. Something similar to Cult of Khaines slain High Elf, but I prefer the victim to lay on the ground. Do you have any idea which model to use as a casualty?
Hm. I've been thinking about this but couldn't find a model that fits the bill. There aren't exactly many models posing in a "dead and lying on the ground" pose. I did come up with a few ways to help them though: - Some limbs could be cutt off.. Maybe that's what killed them! Hah! - I was considering using a grinding wheel to grind off either the front of the model, or the back of the model, to make it look like it's lying face down or face up respectively.
But it will remain a challenge. The size of a body is generally far larger than the bases you want to glue them on. This may be why I considered glueing some of my models on a single, large base (say, the command group), to make a small diorama with a slain victim on it.
If you want to add heads.. Perhaps you could get some bits from a HE or Empire player and use greenstuff to model some hair. Perhaps you can add some heads this way.
I love me a bowl of numbers to crunch for breakfast. If you need anything theoryhammered, I gladly take requests.

Thanks for your input! The Models Starlight mentioned are exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunatly its hard for me to get my hands on Mantic sprues..

hahaha! You're so right. Maybe he looks different lying down...
Started Warhammer with Dark Elves in 2002, stopped playing in 2005. Came back in 2013. Other armies; Tyranids, Lizardmen Main opponents: Slaanesh Daemons, Tomb Kings, Savage Orcs. Anyone in New Zealand for games and trades?
I've done the casualty of this filler using some HE bits:
Legs and head are from a leftover White Lion charioteer, with some repositioning on the right feet. Torso and arms are from the Silver Helms. Cleaved neck will be GS'ed soon, with some fancy blood effect.
With some kitbashing, I think best legs for the puropose are the ones from White Lions' kit, while upper part of the body coming from S.Helms or Spearmen.

Thanks, and I hope it will be helpful for OP too. I'll be making a DE plog here soonish, busy on HE and Eldars atm. But I'll definately post it once done!
@Mike the jedi: Your unit filler is stunning! I like the use of Morathi sitting on her victim. She would make an decent Medusa aswell, even though the official model is just plain awesome. Even though I plan something different, I think I'm gonna copy your slain elf. After all its easier to get my hands on GW bits than the mantic casualties.
You could have the body kneeling maybe, like his head had just been cut off. That would be easier to convert I think. You could use a spearman, cut the model below the knees, and glue that to the base. Cut the leftover piece to go behind that, rework the arms a bit, and you've got a freshly beheaded HE.
And if you are worried about space, you could model that on a 20mm base and put it next to the champ as a filler.
