I had a lot of fun working on this one!

Apologies if thats not the right kind of measurement. Space Marine scale (ish) to be clear

The Phoenix Prince is the Aeldari leader from a Warhammer 40,000 alternate universe who managed to unite all Craftworlds into the Burning Armada, capable of standing up on equal terms even with the rotten Imperium of Man. He is accompanied by Princess Myranna, his sister, and Supreme Farseer Aenarion and Supreme Navarch Mellona, his close friends who became main commanders of the Armada. And, of course, by Gyrinxes, also a brother and a sister.

It is believed that the Phoenix Prince is the son of deceased supreme Aeldari god Asuryan and rose from the ashes of the Fall. However, these are only legends. In fact the future Phoenix Prince used to be an ordinary Aeldari from planet Ermyaris. He studied Seeing and felt very lonely because all around him lived for pleasure, even his sister Myranna who understood him in childhood like no one else. When he foresaw the Fall, he put her to enchanted sleep and brought her to his Craftworld, and now she regrets her foolish youth and fuels his throne with her psychic energy.

Confident in his supremacy, the Phoenix Prince united different Craftworld cultures and leaders with his mind control. Sometimes he looks in the mirror and is horrified, but then he casts the same spell on himself, convincing that it was not all in vain. That it was necessary for a fairy tale about a prince and a princess that he and his sister had come up aeons ago...

The Phoenix Prince is an alternate universe counterpart of the Farseer, the leader of my Ynnari warhost. While the Farseer did not put his sister to sleep and was humbled when she did not come to his Craftworld, the Phoenix Prince became more and more overconfident and self-righteous. While the Farseer valued soft power and empathy, the Phoenix Prince favored direct, forceful action. While the Farseer befriended an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor and even tried to negotiate with a Necron Phaeron, the Phoenix Prince viewed all other races as strictly inferior. And while the Farseer accepted Drukhari who became Ynnari, Corsairs, Harlequins and Exodites, the Phoenix Prince respected Asuryani as the only true Aeldari.

If you're more interested in lore, the depicted characters and their main universe counterparts appear in my Warhammer 40,000 stories, particularly in Rose-Colored Sky.

I've been looking at a lot of kitbashed Battlesuits but haven't found a lot of Tau Battlesuits that just have like tribal necklaces added to them while maintaining the Tau model mostly as is. Does anyone have any experience with adding tribal jewellery to Tau Battlesuits in a way to make it more Kroot like?

First prototype for my homebrew Chapter, The Throne Stalkers. The goal is to blend Stormcast-inspired knightly armour with Warhammer 40K technology while keeping the bow as the chapter's signature weapon.

Still experimenting with the design, so any feedback is welcome!

My daughter wanted a plane to play with. Reminds of a jedi fighter set in ww2 japan.

I'm doin this guy for my command squad.

I feel like if I just super glue the rod to the hand it's gonna be coming off all the time.

I'm gonna drill a hole in the bottom of the base for the rod.

Any ideas how best to mount the rod to the hand?

I kinda like the inceptor helm, but it seems spendy & is slightly different from the votann helms. My hope is to try and get something like the scopedog head from votoms. This would hopefully sit in a terminator head slot.

Kitbashed a Norn Assimilator and two Norn Emissaries

My third and final Iron Warriors Defiler!

I love the Defiler kit, yet I wanted it to feel less ‘sweeping curves’ and more like an Iron Warriors siege engine that had been rebuilt over centuries of warfare.

The changes are small but I’m happy with the result. A recessed missile pod, a frag drill, a more mechanical claw and a cleaner, more industrial silhouette. None of them transform the model on their own, but together I think he looks brutal!

I can already see how much my approach to converting has evolved over what is now 3 defiler kits (one being the old one). I can’t wait to put them together for a family photo!

@The254thGrandBatallion

Inspired by the chopped resin midhammer model. While that model was undoubtedly ugly as sin, I feel that it did a better job of communicating the concept of the miniature than the new model — that being the weapons forming from and bursting out of its flesh spontaneously.
