1. A work-in-progress shot of the conversion. Originally I modelled the sword as the Shard of Anaris, using a cut-down Wailing Doom, but I decided that the proportions didn't work (the blade was too long and too thick), so it was replaced.

The tip of the prism rifle had broken off in transit and needed to be repaired with Green Stuff. Female Eldar Shadow Spectre Autarch conversion

2. The completed conversion. The left arm was replaced with the left arm from a Howling Banshee Exarch. The pose works much better now and I'm really pleased with the result.

This wrist-mounted blade on the Howling Banshee Exarch arm works perfectly as the Autarch's forceshield. Female Eldar Shadow Spectre Autarch conversion

The Shadow Spectre jetpack has been cut down so that the helmet fits and isn't obstructed by the large cowl. Female Eldar Shadow Spectre Autarch conversion

4. A close-up of the converted torso. The upper body was made from a female Guardian torso, with Dire Avenger pauldrons added.

5. A close-up of the Autarch's Prism Rifle. The barrel was shortened and the second hand grip was filled in so that it looks more feasible that it could be wielded by a single hand.
