Hi all! I'm planning a conversion to go with my growing Iyanden army. I'd like to model Iyanna Arienal, famed Eldar Spiritseer, riding atop the shoulders of her companion Wraithlord.

I already have some ideas for the Wraithlord itself, but... I'm having some trouble finding a suitable model for Iyanna herself. She needs to be obviously female, so the current male Farseers/Warlocks are out unless I fancy some extensive green-stuffing (and frankly, I'm no good at using it for sculpting, only tidy-up and gap-plugging).
However, as a Seer she needs to have the flowing robes, so the female Eldar models are out too since they're just sporting plain armour.

The head can be either helmeted or bare, and I can always swap that out. Likewise I have a singing spear for her already so if a weapon can be swapped out easily enough, that'd be fine. I'll consider any pose as long as it's not too static (I considered the Dark Eldar Lahmean before realising that it'd look like she'd fall off...)

If possible, either of these poses would be best:


...so - any ideas anyone?

Possibly this as a base model?

you might be able to pose her right hand to be more outstretched as per your second pose

The second one is less obviously female, but still an option.

Melcavuk - unfortunately modifying the armour and symbols would be beyond my skill at this point. Pity, because I do have that model already and love it.
Rigeld2 - that first one would be perfect, if only it had the robes! I wonder if I could cut the two together...

I'd say send them an email but you're not likely to get a response for a couple of weeks.
