A while back I wrote up a unit description and rules for a Slaver Squad as an alternative troop choice for the Dark Eldar. The premise for the squad was a unit that specializes in taking slaves alive by using a variety of non-lethal weaponry. The Slaver Squad rules and unit description can be found elsewhere on my website.
I started playtesting the Slaver squad a couple weeks ago and decided to build some new models to represent the unit instead of proxying them with warrior squads and raiders.
The Slavers were made exclusively with bits from the plastic warrior sprue. Their primary weapon, the Stun Lash, was made with the knife handle, a paperclip, and the ponytail from the warrior head without a helmet.
The Despoiler Transport was adopted from another modeling project that I have been working on, the "Long Raider" concept. I added slave snares, trophy racks, and a Horrorfex to the model to convert it to a Despoiler transport.
