Hi Guys,
I just wanted to share and hear your thoughts on my Duke conversion, do you think I have done enough to represent him?
Thanks for watching/reading.

I like him I made mines out of an archon and magnetized his arms with two venoms blades as well so I can change weaponry when I want him to b a normal archon ... I like your better tho lol... It's more dynamic an i love how you used the helmet blades piece on the shoulder pads

Magnets are always good! I am not a fan of the Finecast Archon model at all, far too static! Its a very simple conversion for my Duke, I think I will have to be clever with the painting to make him stand out on the table.
Many thanks for the compliments goo sir!

Quite refreshing to see a video.
I like the conversion though I think it's calling out for a cape (take your pick out of any across the GW ranges). The legs work really well but I'd like to see a Kabalite tabard added. Maybe a back banner/trophy rack too?

Cheers Serpent! I have taken what you have said and have made a few ammendments to the Duke, here are a few quick photos:
It is basically the Blast pistol is moved down and a double trophie rack has been added to the back (these are spares from the Venom kit) Let me know what you think, I am happy with how the rack has made the model stand out amongst the troops.
Thanks for the comments guys!

Looks great even without that cloak ^^ Combination of wych and warrior pieces and then those blades and racks make him rather unique. Would love to see him painted. *hint hint*

I will get on with painting him this week, need to get him along with some new Wyches primed first.
Here is a quick video of him before I move on to the painting:

Oops! Showing my inexperience with the DE there... I will post another video once he is up to tabletop standard and then hopefully one with the full detail.
