New Nekharu Conversions

The continuing effort to expand the Nekharu units in my vast WarGods miniatures collection continues. 

The Paladins of Despair are the unit most in need of new members. This first new Paladin was given a damaged Khemru shield and his sword is simply a cut down normal mancleaver blade (because it's one of the easiest ways to give them a hand weapon).

This next Paladin got a little more intense conversion attention. His left arm was removed right above the armband and the arm from a spare Nekharu standard bearer sword arm was pinned into place. His shield came from an old metal Reaper mini. 

Now there are nine hand weapon and shield Nekharu (aka Paladins of Despair) so they are a legal unit of 10 if we give them a standard and musician. But Nekharu should usually have more than the minimum number for a unit so they need a few more to be a comfortable unit.

I decided to do another official drummer mini because one of the conversions for a musician is almost hated because it didn't turn out as cool as I had hoped. So I gave this drummer a fancy feather hat from a plastic GW bit because musicians should have a little something fancy.

Finally is this conversion of a mancleaver warrior into a mace-wielding hero, with a skull hat. The mace is from one of the weapons packs from Crocodile Games and I've wanted to do something with it for quite some time. Snipping off the mancleaver bits and then drilling into both ends by his hands helped the mace head and bottom fit and look right. I thought he needed some additional bits to make him more characterful. The shoulder pad is some GW plastic bit and the knife/foot/pouch bit is a Dark Eldar bit that I thought fit a Nekharu well. 

More of the fallen children of Nekhebet will surely be coming soon. The Paladins of Despair need at least two more members and the Mancleaver unit could split into two units with a few more members.
