I figured I'd share this here knowing it'd reach more folks than if I posted it elsewhere.
With the release of IA11, I decided to finally try my hand at converting an Eldar Guardian into a Corsair using the Forge World model as my template/inspiration.

Here's how he came out. He's kind of involved, but you only need to build one and then a whole squad is easy to replicate.
The whole tutorial is here on my blog: http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2012/01/forge-world-inspired-eldar-corsair.html


When people ask me, "How do you build your army?"
I tell them its "The ten-zero factor, coolness ten, combat effectiveness... zero."

Wow, very nice! I'm a right failure with greenstuff though so I don't think I'll even attempt this, but still pretty awesome.

Are corsairs functionally different than guardians enough that they need to look different?

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

When people ask, "What's the point in understanding everything?" they've just disqualified themselves from using questions and should disappear in a puff of paradox. But they don't understand and just continue existing, which are also their only two strategies for life.

They've all got BS4, and the option for Jet Packs and man portable Heavy Weapons.
