Advice on how to model a crystal targeting matrix

[Dwango]

Does anyone have any advice on modelling a CTM? Or do you know of any 3rd party sellers for them?

 

I have a forgeworld one so I could try casting it out of GS but I find that it's quite big and clunky for an eldar device. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Why not make just hanging crystal, kinda like fire prism has?

It´s in the name afterall. Or maybe somekinda lens contraption?

Also, something like this?

The one in the link is the one I have. It's kinda big for an eldar design.

 

Adding in some sort of lense would be ideal. I'm just drawing a blank on what to model it from. My eldar bits box is sadly lacking.

You could use the Aeldari gubbins from the Apocalypes Upgrade Sprue. GW still sell it as well.

If you´re looking for lens kinda bits though, AoS has some on empire side, bit sites should have some.

Yeah I've looked at them. I may get a couple as I can use most of the other bits too.

I never thought of the a.o.s range. Usually do with conversions but missed that this time. Thanks.

 

I've also realised I've been a bit daft. There is a version of one with the wave serpent kit that I hadn't realised. I'm going to look to source that too. That's what happens when you mainly shop on ebay I suppose!

 

Thanks for all your suggestions though.
