Here I have converted something you don't see very often in the Warhammer universe; an angel. And not those 40k Dark or Blood angels, but an actual angel.

*insert "HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER* sound here* So, I guess the Angels got a bit fed up with so much war and demons and decided it was time things got serious, uh?
It looks great. I like how it doesn't have a face, just a blank surface. It looks holy but at the same time has this eerie aura around it. I'm guessing both the head and wings come from a Dark Eldar kit?
I think the winds and the clothes look great. The cloth really look smooth and light, really good but the metals seem a bit, well, bland. Are you thinking about edge highlighting them? The gem in the sword hilt also looks great!
Great job, dude!
P.S: Are you going to use them as a count-as for one of your armies?

That's right, the head and wings are from the Dark Eldar. And I can agree with you about the metal pieces - maybe a bit of highlight would fit in, at least on the golden parts.
Thanks!
(Not completely sure about what to use her as, but it was fun to make it.)

Hmm I'm not sold on the face thingy. Otherwise, nice conversion.

I think the blank face is a great idea! It's a great mini, is it going to count-as something on the tabletop?
Just a suggestion, and maybe it's just the photos, but I think the effect is lost a little because the face seems to be the exact same colour as the robe. If the robe was a darker colour, the blank face might have stood out more and served as a focal point for the mini.

Actually, from what I can remember, the colour of the face being the same as the robe was intended. I think. If so was the case, then supposedly she would be wearing some sort of spiritual mask or something, but you may be right, maybe the robe should be somewhat darker.
