>what proxies do you use
I used a Khador Widowmaker from the Warmachine model line as a vindicare assassin for a long time. But that was many years ago. if I wanted to use a vindicare now I would buy that cool model that looks like he's hiding at the top of a statue.

I also glued missiles on a Basilisk and called it a Manticore lol. This was before there was a Manticore model, or maybe my lgs was just out of it. This was like really early 5th edition.
