Death Cult assassins - Power axes

[Farseer Macleod]

I am going to be getting some Death cult assassins added to my GKs, but I don't like the models that GW put out for them, I am looking to you fine people for suggestions on what models/kits would make a good DCA, I don't mind having to kitbash to get a good end result.

The other thing I want though is that due to the new power weapon rules, power swords just don't cut it as well as they used to anymore, but Power axes do come with their own fault, being unweildy. But DCAs have two power weapons, so I want to model them with a sword and an axe so that they are as versatile as possible since I'll just choose which one to use in any given combat. So I'm looking for somewhere I can get a decent number of power axes, preferably ones that don't come with a power armoured arm attached to it.

Any suggestions?

I've never liked the idea of spandex women with swords (well, as models anyway), so I modeled my own with greatcoats and gas masks. Regardless, GW's High Elves have some great weapons that could make Power Axes, for instance you could modify the polearms used by the Phoenix Guard: High Elf Phoenix Guard | Games Workshop

High Elves modded that way would look pretty good. The plastic warriors of chaos box comes with a bunch of axes that I used for everything from space marines to dark eldar. They look hatchet sized on marines, but on the DE they look like legit axes.

Speaking of DE, the wyches make great DCA, especially if you are going to convert weapons anyway since one hand is modeled with a pistol and one with a big curved knife. Since wyches took a big hit in 6th ed with FNP getting nerfed and with overwatch, you should be able to pick up some on the cheap too.

Try this model too, it will look even more awesome with some minor conv work, Wood Elf Wardancer Lord | Games Workshop

Thanks for the idea, i'll probably take a few different models for conversion for variety.
