Hey there, I’m working 12 hour days since last week, but I found a little bit of time to assemble an Archon for my Dark Eldar force. As you can see, I chose a bare head and added the braid from the Wyches sprue to give him a little bit of personality. Unfortunately, the huskblade broke off (I’m afraid Jes, it was not a great idea to put all those holes in the blade…). It took my over an hour to reattach the blade and and resculpt the broken part but now it looks ok. What do you think of my little conversion?
What’s your Reaction?

Stahly, do you do the edge highlighting with the model already mounted on the base? if so, how on EARTH can you get the lines so straight around the inner calves?
I don't know, really, lol. I guess patience, quality brushes and brush control?
The head swap and grenade launcher backpack are nice touches. I also like the fact your archon is missing a helmet… I know where the helmet is…
