Shining Spears are probably some of the worst citadel models that's currently still in production...

-The resin is not the new "finecast", is hard as :censored:  to the point that it's hard to trim the resin gates off (and they exist in all kinds of crevices) with fresh cutting blades. 

-The bikes, EVEN if you do like the old old scat bikes, are made with, again, terrible plastic. Pretty much have to use liquid green stuff on all the sprue points because the plastic is so brittle it chips off more than what you cut. 

 

That said, the rider bodies are still unique, and so are the lances lest you want to spend a lot of time converting them to get that space elf look. Me being the inadequate sculptor ended up just forking up for rider bikes, getting shining spear boxes only for the uppder half rider bodies...

Made one today. Fairly straightforward and aside from the head position think it works well.

 

Edit: don’t know why image link isn’t working. Any ideas and I’ll fix it.

If you are willing to consider buying 3rd party minis then these look very nice. I haven't ordered from this place myself though so caveat emptor!

My conversion

Hello mmimzie,

 

I like your conversion! Is that Dark Rider cape? What other parts did you use?

 

All the parts are from the dark rider kit and wind rider. modified the guardian torse bit (threw out the back) and slapped the dark rider torso on top. Used The spear from the dark rider, and filed off the spikes. Then used the doomfire warlock blade from thier weapon to  make a more eldar style blade.
