Where is the cape from???

I really like it - its very similar to my version. As for the blast pistol missing - no biggy, the twin swords are what i would prefer to see - they are his special thing

Awesome! You beat me to using the trophy racks from the Venom kit. Exactly what I was going to use on the regular Archon body. Twin swords FTW!

Cheers for the comments.
The cape is from an old gw vampire.
I tried fitting the blast pistol on but it looked too bulky strapped to his leg snd he HAD to have his twin
swords.
The trophy racks are the ones from the warrior and wyche sprue Wink

but of course.

let me show you what I did to make my duke.

I put the pistol onto the round clasp in reverse. it gives the impression that he can sheave one of his swords on his back, reach across his torso to grip the pistol.

Nice job with the dual trophy racks.

I thought I recognized the cloak from the old Warhammer vampire that dated back to 3rd or 4th edition. He was very Bela Lugosi.

I really like the combination of the dual swords, as well as the cape.
I'm not sure what to suggest for the blast pistol, though. Maybe slung behind his left leg, kind of between his leg and the cloak? It would still be there, but it wouldn't be out in front and cluttering things up.

He actually looks alot like mine, but I used the Archon body because of the pistol holster that is already on it. Looks very good though, cant wait to see him painted up

I would shave down a blast pistol a bit, his leg a bit and shove the now thinner profile pistol on his left leg pushed up next to the cloak. GS any gaps or even a holster/strap if your feeling froggy and you are officially WYSIWYG.

That's one particular good thing about converting Traevelliath; he never wears the same clothing twice, and as such can be built in practically any way.
