Miniatures

You know those are 54mm miniatures, right? Gigantic compared to normal 40k scale models, which is what I assume this guy's group is using. Plus those are Death Cultists, and I assume Moritat would look a bit different (don't know much about their fluff really, may be completely wrong and they may just be a death cult).
The Moritat are a death cult so these:

Are the closest you'll get to official miniatures.
If you are looking for a male character you might find something suitable (with a little modification in either GW's Dark Eldar or Dark Elf ranges.
Beyond that RAFM do a great "personality search" function on their website - you detail teh characters armament race etc and they suggest minis in their range that suit. That's how my son found his. It's only FANTASY genre minis but for teh blade obsessed Moritat that could suit you down to the ground.
How about these from Infinity:-
You'd need to add some purity seals of course.
Or these guys from Malifaux:-
Either way, I think Arcane Miniatures has a good selection:-
Those Malifaux ones seem really fitting.
If you wanted bondage ninja with a sword (and who doesn't) you could maybe try the guy on the left (from the Warmachine/Mercenaries line) with a human head swap. And purity seals:-
I always imagined the moritat with Samurai / Ninja influences.
I made mine from heavily modding an eldar guardian (a lot of sculpting work). Infinity has a lot of models I think work.

Yeah, this is an old thread, but I wanted to share this like a friend of mine sent me:
http://www.wargamesfactory.com/webstore/alien-suns/shock-troops-sci-fi-greatcoat-troopers
Great alternative to Cadian-looking Guardsmen.
Always liked the anima tactics minis, good 2-3 steps above the GW in detail.
For an assassin-
As an added bonus they seem to actually put a bit of effort into customer service, reasonable price, no complaints at all!
I bought two boxes of sci-fi greatcoat troopers and they are great. I've mixed a few standard GW weapons with some units and I use them as either PDF, Traitor Guard or even as Inquisitorial Stormtroopers to beef up encounters for my group.
Its a cheap way to put a lot of mini's on the table and freak my players out!!!

Great find, MKX. Thank you for sharing!
I stumbled over these the other days. Valiant Miniatures www.veltd.net/32mm.htm in 32mm, this is Koyote, Master Assassin
but they have a # of models that could make nice Moritat members, I was looking for my own model.
