It's been a long year of changes but I finally have a hobby table setup again, which means it's finally time to post some updates.
With the release of the new Dex and the Farsight supplement, the old collection has been taken down from the shelf and is getting completely revamped. As my games are usually in the 2k range, here's what you can expect to see over the next little while.

O'Vesa (Riptide commander)

This is just the starting point as I've got models in the collection but for the time being I'll focus on getting this force done and ready for the table.
As always, there will be some conversions.
First up, we have a Ripdtide with converted head and magnetised custom-built shield.
The focal point of the list will be Farsight. The sad thing is, both the original model and the new farsight models lack presence. When my replacement finecast commander model arrived, it didn't take long for a solution to take shape.
The shoulders were beefed up by using the spare arms and the shoulder pad from the new Broadside kit. The legs were chopped in order to be repositioned. The head is a targeting array and some antennae bits, again, from the new xv88 kit. The Dawn Blade is a repurposed Wraithlord sword with some green stuffed ribbons. I may be biased but I feel this model finally does justice to a character as important as Farsight. What do you think?
Stay tuned.
Awesome!
