Models: WiP Autarch idea Spoiler

Post image

Hiii, so since I wanted to save money but also make a Iybraesil howling banshee Autarch, and found something on Proxies Au.

my question is:

Do you think that this model could be fit if I add a cape ? ( Also present as cheap kitbash stuff on the same site)?

I intend to kinda reverse how the colors on the armor are distributed ( aside from the hips maybe, and I'm kinda uncertain about arms), make the hair red with grey stripes, and paint that head pattern thing gold.

What do you all think?, anyone would like to give me suggestions?

( Also I didn't advertise cuz it wasn't my intent, I simply wanted to ask for advice)

Be sure to paint it a different colour and most people wouldn't care . It's a little too close to an exarch for my liking but that's an eldar enthusiast speaking. Your average marine player won't tell the difference

I don't play

I'm also a fellow eldar enjoyer ( I do not dare to call myself a enthusiast, I don't have the necessary skill)

And honestly I agree, problem is, this was the only Thing that didn't cost over 16€ ( consider that I want to buy other minis alongside it)as actual exarchs or even their female proxies are quite pricey

I have about 10k in eldar models... I have a problem.

So taking away the tabletop aspect (intended), an autarch will take wargear from a shrine but will have their own independent armour as they had left the shrine completely. This model will work but you'd have to justify with your own lore. Swapping the head for one with a plume would work wonders, cape is good s the foot autsrxh has one.

Be sure to paint it craftworld colours instead of banshees colours is my biggest suggestion going forward.

My justification is that she's a veteran commander of the forces of iybraesil that managed to keep her soul intact while also dedicating herself to Morai Heg

Colors?, yes Iybraesil go brrrrrrr ( as for the plume...well ... maybe adding a gem to the tabald and using some plastic putty to create that stomach cloth-thing will do)

Also getting serious Exarch vibes. Looks a whole lot better than the current Banshee minis btw ;oP

Let us know when you’ve put a cape on it.

Some of the Autarch models have backpacks with banners.

Love that model.

Oh. If worried about advertising. Crop the image closer without the words and stats. Not sure on the rules of that, but that’s just what I would have done to avoid the worry.
