okay i am making an android character for my army right
her name is ayame and no matter what i sculpt i am never satisfied.
what if I did this
take eldar legs
succubus torso
wood elf head
SM weapons and a bit of GS (to cover the insane muscle abs of the succubus)
do you think it would look a bit more female space marine than SOB?

Well, given the pieces that you're going to be using, she'll look like an Eldar. If you want her to look more human, you'll need to go Bitz hunting.

In the Catachan line, there's a pewter model of a woman holding a grenade launcher. Very nice model, truth be told. There's also a female Commissar in there somewhere.

The female comissar is a GamesDay model I think. o:

Ebay would be the best way to find one. :B

Or learn sculpting.

The catachan's wearing a tanktop, though...

Which could be remedied with a little bit of sculpting to make some simple sleeves. And, given this person's affinity for Anime, he would probably be sculpting on some sleeves or something.

*still can't figure out how an android fits into 40k fluff*

frankly I don't really love anime i just like the style (only style i can draw)
but w/e
here's my thought
sculpt around the lower legs and lower arms to make it look like SM ceramit armor (but smaller ofc) then replace the succubus head with WE head possibly sculpt the arms. No robes except maybe a SOB style tabard thing. she'll get a bolt pistol and a powersword(sheathed) and she will be painted in flesh tones because of her synthskin covering (hide her from the =][=) armour plates will be my chapter colors

ALright. Still, though, if she's going to be human there's the simple fact that they need to have rounded ears. Seeing something with pointy ears is a pretty damn good giveaway to the Inquisition.
