| That's rather spiffy! Excellent work, and good luck to you using him in games. As a 230-point HQ (only 10 points cheaper than Vect himself!) I find him sorely lacking in survivability.
The pose in the codex is actually very different to the pose you've got him in, but necessary - the pose in the codex is something only Dark Eldar or a Slaaneshi worshipper would be able to hold. That's his RIGHT leg in the foreground, for God's sake! Bodies shouldn't twist like that!
To summarise, fantastic conversion, looking forward to seeing the paintscheme you use!

| WTF?!?! I just looked at the pic again and your right... he is massively turned to the left over his left leg upon close inspection...
Think i may have to start again... _________________ Objective Secured - Western Australia's Premier 40k Event Organisers and Website OBJECTIVE SECURED

Nonsense, this is a great conversion! I was just pointing out how difficult GW's artists have made it for anyone trying to make a Drazhar of their very own. _________________ | |

| I actually must whine about using Wych legs instead of Kabalite ones. Underpants just don't give 3+ armour save. I think that ones from Raider kit would fit tho, similar pose. | |

| Aren't those the legs of a Scourge? If not, consider using Scourge's legs instead. | |

Nonsense, this is a great conversion! I was just pointing out how difficult GW's artists have made it for anyone trying to make a Drazhar of their very own. It was just annoying is all as i missed it in the initial planning... he was seconds away from the knife... but i decided i liked it as is rather than trying to match that exactly... it FEELS like the pic even if its not exact. Yep - converted scourge legs as i wanted the tall mantis type description. I actually had to widen his hips and stance considerably as the scourge legs or almost skipping... Paint started so more pics shortly! _________________ Objective Secured - Western Australia's Premier 40k Event Organisers and Website OBJECTIVE SECURED

| Glad to hear that you didn't scrap it and start over. I really liked the conversion and may steal the idea for a Klaivex conversion!

Also, just wondering where did you get the blades for the Demi Klavies? _________________ Commorragh makes lots of little glass vials~ And the little glass vials go into the blast pistols like a battery~ And the blast pistols get pointed somewhere against your anatomy~ And when the pistol goes off it sparks and you're ready for surgery..Surgery~ - Cavash wrote:

| Have to chime in with the rest of the wows and praise - that is an amazing conversion. I really wish GW released a model for him, but your conversion is incredibly close to the artwork. _________________ Siticus Empyrean Vision - my Facebook page with various painting projects Siticus' Empyrean Visions log - the project log for my Aeldari works and beyond
