Even better... what legs will you use?

FTL

I found these on ebay. No idea what kit they are from but look quite dynamic.
Also, will incorporate some pathfinder, dire avenger and guardian legs maybe.

Havent decided yet. The archer torso work really well with pathfinder legs but not sure if they would work with these.
Got a bunch of reaver and scourges heads kicking about... Dunno to be honest. I dont just want to copy your design and would like to come up with something original and my own.

Time will tell. Atm am hunting around for funky bits and once I have enough I can try out some stuff and see if I can come up with a theme.

Nice... are they 3rd part warpspider leggs.

Didint realise they were 3rd party. Thought they might be from some old kit

Unfortunately, other than dire avengers, there are no aspect warriors with detachable legs... one of the eternal frustrations of eldar players.

I get it though...

Scorpions, banshees, dragons, spiders, reapers, hawks... (did i forget one?)... thats alot of kits to update.

FTL

Finished the paint job on the Exodite farseer... very happy with how it came out... it was a nice break from pirates... but quite involved... also... i'm not confident enough yet to attempt eyeballs... i like it though.

Thanks for peepin'...

Looks brilliant! I like the flash of green feathers on the glaive, stands out nicely against the hues of the rest of the model.

The whole thing works really cohesively together.

Thanks alot... Now back to pirates for a bit.

This is a fantastic project! I tried to make some Exodites back in the early 1990s, but they weren't up to much. You've got a great selection of kits to use now which can make wonderful results as your Farseer demonstrates.

Did you ever get to see the other Exodite pics from the Jes Goodwin sketchbook? I'd be happy to take pics if you still need them.

I did see them thanks... some Dakkanoughts hit me up with pics... i love them... i even tried to make an exodite in the style, but i couldn't get it to work...

Thanks for your kind words.

Great work on those pirates! Love the mix of bits you have used, especially the leather jackets.

Great job on that farseer! I like the pale palette you've used.

Really good job with that farseer!
You nailed the conversion job very well and I like the color scheme.

Been working of a venom transport for my corsairs... not easy to convert some of these fellas to be hanging on the sides like the original DE venom... but we are getting there.... a sneak preview.

FTL

What a project! I'm in love with everything on display here.

I decided to try and make a model based on some deep fluff that have no models... in fact the existing fluff is barely a sentence long. I started a guessing game over on my instagram to see if anyone could figure out what this fella might be, and to may be see if my mini tells the right tale. Thought i would do that here too. What do you think this guy might be folks??

FTL

That model looks great! ...whatever it is

My Eldar-fu is lacking, so I haven't a scooby what it could be. I don't even know what branch of Eldar!

Looks very cool. Slicing Orb of Zandros?

Bingo!!

He looks like some kind of soul-hunter, wraith guard thing. And Like he needs the heads of his enemies (for the skull throne) for some kind of world circuit-related exodite shenanigans. I have no idea what an orb of Zandywotsit is.

Dont worry... its deep fluff.... They are aspect warriors with one shrine on one craftworld, Zandros. The fluff is barely sentence about them and states what i just said plus that they are 'wiredly terrifying'. Thats it....

I've written some extra fluff that i will post with the paint job but basically i re-imagined them as and anti-psyker aspect path that dedicate themselves to becoming 'blanks'... the Eldar abhor blanks, i figured that would be 'weirdly terrifying' by Eldar standards....

By the way... how did you know???

Eldar, deep fluff, almost no info, plus the visual cues on the model, the orbs, the mask, the sliciness. Seemed to fit.

Lovely conversion on your farseer. The cold one converted up really nice, the dragon princes horse head was an inspired choice that you mated expertly with the rest of model. Looking forward to see where you go with the slicing orb chap!

Thank you.... but i do owe a debt to Mike McVey and his original exodite.

Another corsair done... Better photos needed though... will fix that one day.

I love the elegant simplicity of these models. Really wonderful.
