Been thinking of how to go about making a Lady Farseer.. But man, I haven't got the slighest clue with GS and all..
Conversion is too time taxing for me.. So how about proxying the model with something from WFB? Then just paint them according to the scheme of my force.

Something like...


Spellweaver with Staff ?

or

Alarielle the Radiant?

Thoughts?

Any tips on proxies or conversions will be appreciated!

Yes and Yes, assuming based correctly. They sufficiently fill the "Magic elf" vibe for Farseers enough for me.

Easily. They'd work fine.

The first would be really cool in an Exodite force.

Yes and yes. Seeing as I recently used an Elf for a Shadowseer conversion, I thoroughly approve!

Right size. Stick them on the right bases, go, you're good.

(Though keep in mind that the Spellweaver is in Finecast and pretty much any bubbles utterly ruin the model, it might be worth looking for something sturdier)

Sure. I like the high elf better than the wood elf, though either would be fine.

As for conversions, take that high elf one, rip off the head and stick a guardian/autarch/farseer head on there, and voila, 40k.

Wonderful! I'm happy to see that it's passable. Now I'm definitely getting it.
Will have to decide, though.
Spellweaver does look Exodite-y, but a bit cooler.
While the Alariella model.... looks more like a Spiritseer. Considering the shape of her staff.
Oh, and that Exodite theme sounds very interesting! I'll definitely check that out!
Might even take a jab at converting.

Hmm, follow-up question..

How about this model for a female Autarch?
Too Fantasy? I'd like to know what people think..
I honestly would proxy this, if the Heavy Aspect Armor of the Autarch didn't matter much..
As for the spear, it could be that unique item every Autarch carries around.
Thoughts?

Aha! Will do so!

I'm sure the boxes will have plenty of options for heads. Hopefully symbols and insignia, too.

I could see a handmaiden as an autarch. I couldn't see any of the elf wizard models as one, though. An autarch isn't about flowing robes and a magic stick. They're about armor and swords and guns. They should look more like a practical warrior than an ethereal sequencer of mana.

Yes, I was asking about it to be a female Autarch. I'm glad you think so.

The robe-y wizards will probably serve my force as a Farseer and a Spiritseer.

Or just a Farseer with the High-Elf one, since the staff's already there.
