Lady Malys (DE Archon with Djinn-Blade)

[0rph3u5]

I still love the Dark Eldar-characters from the 5th Ed. Codex and way back I made a Duke Sliscus-mini out of surplous Kabalite Warrior-bits ... now I got some time on my hand while I am waiting from the Greenstuff on my Wraithknight to dry (remodeling parts of the shoulder to fit the Sword-arm after the Sun Cannon arm could not be removed gently - if I can't play it in games that don't allow LoW, I might just as well go for a weapon with that limited use), I figured I could take a go building another DE Archon

- Legs are from a Dire Avengers-spure I had laying around since ... forever (used their helmets from my Trueborn and canabalized them further for my Iyanden Guardian Defenders);
- Torso is from a Wytch-crew;
- Arms are both from the Wytches, as is the "cape";
- Helmet-plume is from the DA Exarch;
- Helmet itself from the Kabalite Warriors
- The Lady's Blade/Djinn-Blade is from a 3rd party-kit (I'm using parts of it to build the Spiritseer-character from Iyanden, her names escapes me right now)
- the Fan was made from Wytch-knives.

There might still be some Greenstuff-work to be done.

The pose was intended to make her look like she is a fight, ready to recieve an enemy attack and then to counter it with her blade.

I apologize ahead of time for the quality of the pictures .... my digital camera got lost while I was moving recently, so only smartphone pics for now...

So BoLS-community, what do you think?

Not a fan of the helmet... But the cape is an amazingly clever idea. Nice one.

[Kirsten]

definitely an interesting idea, some cool bits used.

[0rph3u5]

No one anywhere seems to like the Helmet ... okay I will try something else there...

[Arthfael]

I do like the helmet, but maybe it does not feel very Lady Malys. Great conversion.

[The Madman]

I think the problem is that the helmet is more craftwordly then Dark especially the helmet plume compared to the rest of the model. other wise I like the pose and using the net as a cloak was a good idea.
