6. Following the release of the second plastic Autarch kit, I elected to swap the left arm for one holding a Death Spinner.
To make the Death Spinner look a little bit more imposing, I used these fins from a Wraithguard D-scythe.
I had to reshapre and then resculpt the left shoulder to fit the model.
I cut down the edge of the cape to give it a more natural shape. Games Workshop are really bad at modelling the shape of these capes for some reason - I've had to do this on a number of models.
