Nyss archers alternative?

[Almightyfoon]

Hi fellow Warmahorder's. So I'm in the process of replacing my collection after it was removed from my car a few years ago in the thoughts it was a camera bag by some ne'er-do-well. ANYWAYS, enough about that. I had a unit of Cylena and her fellows and while their table top performance was always fantastic, the models themselves were a nightmare to assemble and keep assembled.

So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for less hair rending models? I have an idea for cylena, but I need some models for the rest of the unit.

Cylena

I went with this as Cylena:




and these as her hunters:




Yes, yes, I know, blasphemy and all that. :P

I have yet to paint them up though so I can't really give you an example.

I like the lower models better but IMHO the original Nyss Hunters are great models that shoulden't be replaced. If I had to reaquire the models again I would take the time and trouble to assemble and pin them all again. I would be very dissapointed though because I'm really fond of their current conversion and paintjob

Blighted nuss archers, just need to file all the spikes...

With my first Bits Order, I picked up 10+ random Retribution Heads that I intend to use in place of the Cartoony Heads from the Nyss. At aproximately 50 cents each, it was a cheap option.

NM, I should have read more. It was about their assembly, not their looks. :P

I personally have never found Nyss to be a problem to assemble, except for Cylena herself. Whoever designed her arms to fit Up into her shoulders instead of flat against them needs to be drug out into the streets and whipped with a wet noodle. I did however replace all of her harem's heads with Dark Eldar heads because she has horrible taste in men apparently.

Also, Hah! for not being the only one to use Warhammer/40k figs and bitz to replace some Warmachine ones.

Oh, I'm sure there are many more. Especially regarding the hideous Nyss Hunters (sorry sculptor, but they are hard to love).

Nyss Hunters are Awesome, with the exception of the men's heads.
