A simple Archon conversion

A pretty simple conversion again. I changed my mind a few times with him: I originally built the Archon with just the Agoniser, Blast Pistol and Phantasm Grenade Launcher, and then decided to magnetize the PGL and the pistol.

This morning while looking in my bitz box to see if I had something interesting to make a Klaivex for the Incubi I had just received, I found this serpent-looking thing, which is an instrument for the Dark Elf Corsairs musician. A few minutes later, a new Archon was born :) I had to glue the PGL to make it work, and in a weird way, but I kinda like it. It goes very well with the Duke conversion, so I can say he's part of the Duke's pirate force and play him when I'm tired to the Baron or the Duke as HQs.

Duke Sliscus Trueborn squad conversions

I originally wasn't sure if I would made Duke Sliscus alone or with some bodyguard unit, but I had some trouble finding a bits site that had one corsair cloak in stock and that wasn't too expensive. So I got a whole box, and well, I had to use the remaining cloaks!

Only made one picture since it's still a work in progress, but I'm pretty happy with the result so far. Their splinter rifles were shortened to make shardcarbines and I couldn't decide whether to keep their backpacks or not, so I made some without and some with. Both approaches needed some cutting around and greenstuffing to compensate, in the end it's not very clean work but it should look a little better with some paint on it.

Duke Sliscus conversion

Well, I couldn't just leave the Baron alone... He and Sliscus are great together, and the fluff on the Duke was just too good to pass up. Again, no model so I had to make a conversion. I actually made this one before the Baron, and it was my first time using greenstuff ever.

Parts used:

• Dark Elf Corsairs cloak, head, sheathed blade (that you can't really see, I blame my poor photographic skills), torso and 'S' banner pole. When I bought the Corsairs kit I thought I was being original, and I didn't even know about the 'S' banner thingie yet. Turns out there are plenty of other Duke Sliscus conversions around using the exact same ideas... Even similar poses. Oh well.
• Blast Pistol, Power Weapon (which will count as one of his Venom Blades) and back banner from the Kabalite Warriors kit.
• Filed down Space Marine Grenades are attached to his waist.

I also made him a trueborn bodyguard squad with the remaining corsairs cloaks, I'll post them later.
