Nice! I look forward to seeing your take on these guys. They weren't terribly popular minis around here, and I only recently came into some myself to use for revisiting some very old conversions.

If these are anything like as good as your Farseer jet bike then I think we'll be in for a treat. Looking forward to it.

Thank you guys.
So while I should be painting the Shining Spears instead I have been working on a lone metal Dire Avenger Exarch.
Speaking of metal Exarchs. Did anyone ever take on of the original metal Dire Avengers and do a head swap with the metal heads from the first rollout of plastic Guardian bodies?

I can't recall ever seeing a conversion like that, Cap'n. The Spears being pre-empted by this guy is ok. There are few sculpts in the range more iconic. Can't wait to see how he turns out.

I assume the main reason for that would be to rescale a bit because the classic dire avengers are that bit smaller but much of the character of that classic loo is in the helms.
While I wouldn't say its stricktly heresy to cut a Jes Goodwin original mini's head off, I'd say it would have to be worth it. And I also like the old shuriken catapults so that would be a loss. Unless you could find plastic versions of those from back in the day too. Maybe from a plastic guardian spru.
Also, fully understand the distraction with that exarch, one of the greatest of all time Eldar classics!

Thanks for the suggestions.
Maybe a back banner for one with a Shuriken Catapult to mark out a bare bones Exarch.

So I have made some progress on one Shining Spear so far, I do not think I will get all three done by the end of the month, so I am focusing on one as a pilot.
It is a challenge to build up white and give it some depth.

This is a great model. The white is clean and crisp. Very rarely have I ever seen the spears being used, and they always needed better attention than they received.

Second two finished, it took a little longer than the first one, every time l looked at the built-up white on the nose cones and grabbed my blue I kept thinking "I will not fear the stripes." Although each stroke my pulse was saying "damn I am afraid of the stripes".

I never saw such a conversion, no.
That model is one of my all-time favourites. I painted one back in the early nineties, when I was about 13! He was one of my best paint jobs at the time. I want to paint another soon.
The colours on yours work really well, especially the yellow and black plume with the white helmet.
