    Default 3rd Party Model for Vect?

    I don't want to use just a converted Archon and I've looked over the Dark Elf range and didn't find anything appealing. Anyone seen any good 3rd party dark elf/eldar type models that would be good for the Lord of the Dark City?

    Check out the Warlord line from Reaper. They have a ton of fantasy Dark Elf characters that are fantastic.

    Harle that looks really slick. I'd still prefer to a non-Archon based model, but that really does look amazing. What did you do for the orbs exactly, and the head of the scepter?

    orbs look to either be GS rolled into a ball, or bits of the WH empire wizard kit (or variants of) as for the sceptre it looks like the ball is off the3 celestial wizard staff and knives or blades from DE kits.

    They are actually the ball joints on various pieces of the talos/cronos kit. I cut them off and filed them to orbs, the blades around the sceptre are from the reaver jet bike kit, and I used the other ball joints from the talos/cronos kit for the orbs in his other hand, and just greenstuffed the flames.
    I took a pilot's head from the raider kit for his head, and I cut off the top piece and hair from the archon kit, and then used greenstuff ot fill in the gap from the helmet by making more hair.
