I wish to create (convert) horde unit of exec./BGs, but I want them to be very very masculine with bare muscled chests. Since that is already very incoherrent with the idea of them having heavy armour, i want them to have at least some sort of two handed weapons, so that the models are not too confusing for gameplay. I am willing to do a lot of converting regarding the weapons etc, but I need at least a little acceptable models to start with.
Only beastmen gors and to lesser extent empire flagellants/chaos marauders are at least sort of acceptable for me, but I want better. I am searching (with very little success) for a site/company which provides such models, preferably a unit of such models.
To give you an idea I would like to present you one site with miniatures I love so much that I even consider buying the Chosen and have him as a statue of Slaanesh on CoB - http://shop.kingdomdeath.com/collection ... cts/chosen
Anyway is it too much to hope that any of you can direct me to some sources of this quality ? - http://monster.kingdomdeath.com/Starting-Survivors
The muscles are priority, reasonable cost would be very nice, at least remotely elven or demonic look (after only a slight conversion) would be preffered as well and the two handed weapon comes last. This is perhaps a best example of what I am looking for - http://pariah-miniatures.blogspot.cz/p/sculpture.html
Some of these would be good as well, long hair is especially usefull since it provides look of a mutated slaaneshi elf after painting.- https://www.google.cz/search?q=barbaria ... B523%3B480

Re: Muscle power- found some, need more
How about something celtic or otherwise historical barbarians? Should be plenty of bare muscly chests in there - some of them even completely naked; doesn't get much more manly than that.
There should be plenty of manufacturers.

Re: Muscle power- found some, need more
Heh, this Chosen is my friend's Slaanesh Demon Prince Really cool mini.
I love Kingdom Death... except every miniature I want is always out of production... they seem to be doing limited runs only which sucks.

Re: Muscle power- found some, need more
The Wyches is a model option, they are muscular and very lightly armoured. I don't know if they are masculine enough.
I immediatly thought about the "300" Spartan Dark Elf Army done back in 2010, but all the hot link is dead - still google it.
Maybe the Uruk-hai Berserkers are what you are looking for? http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat980022a&prodId=prod1500495a
Or the normal ones with head+weapon swap? http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat980022a&prodId=prod1500491a
Hope it helps.

Re: Muscle power- found some, need more
I think dark elder wracks look cool. Muscular, cool pants and evil looking helms, but lots of extra bits to chop off
Re: Muscle power- found some, need more
I actually started by searching for celts and native americans historical miniatures, but was not able to find anything good.
Can´t find the Spartan DE army.
Thanks a lot for uruk-hai bersekers, best option so far and the only one I have overlooked at GW site.
I considered Dark Eldar wracks but I would rather switch to chaos marauders then them, marauders are not the best option, its hard to make them work with elven heads (heads too small, torsos too big) and there is not actually 20 of the horned-helmet heads in there, am I right?
Anyway Uruk-hai bersekers are best so far, but I still hope to find some site which sell some conan-like miniatures of longhaired semi-nude barbarians without bears with a lot of muscles :-D
