With some units lacking models (and some Mantic models…not being the greatest), what kinds of stand-in models do you use/see as viable? For example, I could see the old Rackham Cynwall models (sadly OOP ) as good stand-ins for the Verdant units in the elf list for a more “civilized” and less “naturey” feel in the army as magical constructs instead of “tree people”:
Forest Shamblers
Hunters of the Wild
Battlecats Swarm
(not exactly a swarm, but two of these on a swarm base would be very suitable IMHO)
EDIT: It looks like they’re almost entirely out of stock now tho (I have ordered Confrontation stuff from these folks). I couldn’t say if they’re restocking (casting more) or were only selling off old stock? I have to assume the former, seems like a lot of work to move a handful of old Rackham metal.
