This conversion comes from the bottom of my Minature Closet. It had been designed and preassemblied a long long time ago, when rules for Harlies were only available in the Citadel Journal. A time with almost no internet but instead Xerox machine and a very popular lad in the club that owned copies of this Journal´s issues.

I xeroxed the pages, lost them and though that it could instead be a steed for a converted Nuadhu Firehearth mini (That I never completed) when rules were available in this Codex:

 

Warhammer 40.000 Codex Eldar Vintage - Vinted

 

Past is in the past and I feel like it is a good thing. No excess of nostalgy here. But I regret Nuadhu never got a model.

 

I will start painting the model soon, but now that the Venom is part of the Drukhari arsenal and that the comparable model in Harlies is the Starweaver, I wonder if I should not try a more "acrobatic" paint scheme.

 

As you see the model has been left in its juice up to now. Here are some pics of its main parts:

Some might recognize that main parts for extended tail and large fins/wings are coming from a BattleFleet  model. some small green stuff here or there, mainly for additional waystones, and a modified hull weapon supposed to be a fusion gun (the optin was available to Harlies´ Venom at the time)

 

I will try to reach to a decision between Starweaver and Venom. So that I might take a potential turn to Ynnari or get to think about adding a pair of Shuriken cannons to the machine before starting the paint job...
