Wanted to share this Shadowseer conversion I just finished up tonight using the Mistweaver Saih model. Super happy with how it turned out. She wields the Mask of Secrets to the despair of her enemies. I added the haywire grenades, mask, mask on the staff, Harlequin flip belt, and a mask and grenades to the backside.

What do you all think? Anything easy to add to make it more Harlequiny? It definitely could use a Shadowseer backpack, but unsure how to make that happen.





.. and the original.

Kickass in all my eldar converting and kitbashing that model's never occurred to me but it works really nicely

For Shadowseer backpacks, the Kabalite Warrior and Wyches kits have a grenade-launcher backpack thing that works perfectly for Shadowseers

very cool.

I'm sorry, but I'm totally stealing that idea!

Came here to mention the Kabalite bit, but Ynneadwraith has already mentioned it.

Thanks for the suggestion guys. Better go score a bit on ebay!

I really like this conversion - the Mistweaver fits nicely as a Shadowseer. Got the Mistweaver for cheap on ebay, so was hoping to save some money on another Shadowseer by converting one instead. Also has the nice added benefit of not having three identical looking Shadowseers on the table. Picking up a kabalite backpack means I wont save as much money as I wanted, but it'll definitely be worth it to complete the model.

Nice job! You have beat me to it I have my Mistweaver and Shadowseer blisterpacks ready to merge for more than three weeks now, but hadn't had time to do my Veilwalker out of them yet.

Yeah, I was totally thinking that this would make a cool Sylandri Vielwalker mini to go with the other Ynnari stuff.

Exactly I bought Saih out of dissapointment, that Eldar Triumvirate did not have Sylandrii in it.

Yeah it is a shame. I'd have loved the Triumvirate to be Sylandri, Yriel and another dude.

Still, more characters is definitely not a bad thing. We could end up with Yvraine, the Visarch, the Ynneadvatar and a Veilwalker model

Of course it isn't a bad thing, I bought Saih in addition to my Triuvirate box Now I just have to find time to build all of those and work out some houserules for Sylandrii, I don't want it to be "just a different looking everyday Shadowseer".

Hmmm, houserules. ML3 Shadowseer with access to 2 Harlie/Ynnari relics?

You can points-cost it up quite easily (20pts for each extra mastery level and then just the cost of the relics would make for a sizeable IC points cost alongside some neat psychic abilities)

ML3, Strength from Death, 3 wounds (maybe Eternal warrior to fit with the rest of the Ynnari characters), and HQ slot.

In other news, I have the Dark Eldar grenade launcher backpack in the mail. Picked up a final 3rd Death Jester for cheap too (10$) because of the bundled shipping cost. Cegorachs Revenge here I come.

Wahey! Looking forward to the finished article

Edit: also, you're now responsible for me blowing another £10 on a model

I hope you don't mind, but I'd love to pinch some of the ideas for this :S as far as I'm concerned, in the absence of a dedicated model I'm taking your conversion as the official model for Sylandri.

It's that cool

Hah awesome!

Here's the secret for the Mask of Secrets in her hand.

There is a arm bit in the Skyweaver box for the Star Bola's. Trim the cord from the hand and the little thumb down a bit, make a little tiny socket right there, and add a Harlequin mask.

#38

No worries credit where credit's due

And yeah I spotted that that particular bit has been languishing in a little plastic bag somewhere for ages now, but just couldn't figure out for what to use it for...
