Well I have just got all my parts and started my conversion. I am pretty pleased about the result and think I am going to go with it. Just need a few ideas really... arms / weapons being the main one.
Not sure what to arm him with, thinking maybe a husk blade, but then I want to find something that looks different yet eldar like... any ideas ?

Please ignore the blue tac, ive used it as a temporay holding device so I can see where parts will go as this will be a stage paint, when I get round to it ( Harlequin #2. Succubus, 3/4 done Wych and 1/4 done Kabalite , Finish my raider all being head of the que ! lol )
So, any ideas on kits to bash for arms or weapons ?
Also would love to get some feed back on my conversion, and anything else in my gallery for that matter.

Cheers for taking the time guys.

I like where you are going with this, but I think that the torso is a bit bulky for Dark Eldar. He doesn't look lithe enough for the race. Everyone is using the Dark Elf Corsairs, but if you look at the Cold One Knights you get a chest piece similar to the one you are using, but a bit more streamlined and the arms from the kit will go with the torso with only hand swaps needed for weapons.

It looks like a great start, though. (Dang, the more I look at that kit, I want to get one.)

Thanks for the feedback, I toyed with the Cold One Knights but wanted my archon to stand out quite a bit and almost dress him up a bit like a Dark Eldar "Terminator" Tried to use the jaw and huge blades to take the emphasis away from the bulk of the chest piece.

Finished Dark Eldar Archon conversion.

Switched the jaw parts out to become shoulder pads and added a banner.
Really pleased with the end result, Hopefully that Husk blade will take a few more skulls as well
