Most GW Warhammer Witch Elves fit well, as does GW's 40k model 'Kruellagh the Vile' (or any Dark Eldar Wych). No 3rd party manufacturer hase ever done a 'Xoranna Naildark' or whatever model (which is a shame), so if you don't want to use GW models, pickings get slim.

Great figure, but not sure how to get hold of one now.

That Sandgroper model is sweet (and if anyone has one sell it to me, not Vanguard :) ), but as she's liable to be difficult to come by, I'll say that I recently picked up a Punkzon Blitzer from Neomics to use as my Roxanna:

A good 40K dark eldar model is Lelith Hesperax, one of their best ever sculpts. She would require a bit of work to remove the weapons and get rid of the display base.

From fantasy the cauldron of blood has 2 useful models. Either the Death Hag or Hag Queen Hellebron. These just need their weapons swapped out. I've seen them both individually for sale via e-bay, but a bit on the pricey side. It might be economical to buy the entire boxed set from a discount retailer as that would give you 2 normal witches and 2 models to use as roxanna. Then sell off the bits, I've seen the statue of khaine and Bloodwrack Medusa go for quite high prices.

There was Roxanna miniature the Royal Rumble tourney in 2013 in Italy.
It should still be on sale at Gaspez.

It depends on what miniatures you're using for your team. My Roxanna is a weapon snipped, wrist tweaked, 1990's Warhammer dark elf witch, because she fits well with my 3rd ed. GW dark elf team. But if your team is a Dark Eldar kitbash, I wouldn't advise you use the same miniature.

Some good suggestions on here already. Happy hunting!

That Sandgroper model is very nice, would happily take it off your hands if anyone has it lying around. :D
I'll have a look at the various GW suggestions. Cheers guys.

Hucker - My team's actually Impact Amazon's, so not too concerned about her looking different.

With a bit of weapon snipping, these two from reaper might work:
http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/6 ... test/60080
http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/1 ... down/14018

Or this amazon from freebooter:
http://www.freebooterminiatures.de/en/catalog/1304

Or a trickier conversion (removing sword from hair):
http://www.ragingheroes.com/collections ... d-mistress
(or their Blood Vestals)

Or something from GW off ebay, assuming you've exhausted Impact!, Tritex, Greebo, Rolljordan, Comixininos etc.

Hope this is in some way useful in your search.

I have a couple of the Sandgroper witch elves 'spare'. If someone UK based wishes to pay £10 to have one recorded delivered
then please PM me. Apologies but the cost/hassle of non-uk would outweigh my need to sell on these lovely minis!
