Hi Folks,

As part of the various tasks listed on my To Do List, one entry was associated to the rescue of an old miniature I have for years. A Banshee exarch model that I bought when GW made the trasition from lead models to White Metal^TM. Youngsters among us probably won't understand what it is about. But to make it short: it is a good synonym for a long long time ago!!!

This model was initially bought in order to recover the power axe and model it as a hand weapon for my Wild Riders Clan Chieftain. You can see him there: P1100700.JPG - Miscellaneous - The Bolter and Chainsword

But what can I do with the rest of the model? Two options were on the table:

Either behead it and use the banshee mask to customize a proxy Autarch (Like I did before: Autarch_AlternateView2.jpg - Asuryani - The Bolter and Chainsword)
Or modify and retool the sawed metal model to use it as a base for an Autarch

In any case, it will be an Autarch. But what type? I jumped to the Wayleaper kind.

After giving it a round or two about thinking on how doing it better, I went for the second option. The character will go Scorp chainsword, Banshee mask and Fusion gun. Plus teleport jumper à la Warpspiders...

I did my market with spare chain sword from Storm guardians and generator from Corsairs. The fusion gun was trickiest. I have decided to rebuild it from various Guardians spare parts, inc. un fusion gun (so obvious it is boring...) and one of the side arms holding a catapult on the hips. I cut, glued and filled with milliput to reach a not too dumb looking weapon. And then I realized the spare fusion pistol form the Corsair could have done the job too... Too late, the stuff is already glued in place.
