This conversion began shortly after I acquired the Asdrubael Vect kit. I really liked the look of the Archon Vect and decided to see if I could adapt him to ride a reaver jetbike. I tried to make the model look more dynamic by tilting the jetbike to make it look as if it was turning. The results follow. I am debating whether or not to swap the power sword for a lance of some sort. Several people have commented that I need to change the Archon's pose so that he is more upright and looking forward.
January 2003 - I have made further modifications to this conversion. The archon's pose was adjusted so that his head is upright and his gaze looking forward. The sword was swapped for a punisher that will be used one handed as a sort of lance power weapon. An extra blade was added to the bottom of the jetbike in the front. I have started painting the model in Kabal colors. Let me know what you think: email
January 18, 2003 - I have finished painting the model and detailing its base. The base now features the body of a dead Space Wolves Blood Claw that was killed by the Archon. The jetbike now features snares that have snagged part of a Space Wolves marine backpack. The backpack is distressed from being torn loose. |
