eldar farseer skyrunner
The standard Farseer/Warlock Skyrunner kit only includes different helmets to represent the two unit types; for my Farseer on a Skyrunner, I wanted to emphasise the differences between a Farseer and Warlock's robes and wargear.date: 2015 - present (work-in-progress)
components: 1x plastic Eldar Farseer Skyrunner, 1x plastic Farseer torso, 1x War Walker scenery element, Green Stuff

1. The design of the rune armour in the Skyrunner kit appears to be the standard Warlock rune armour, which isn't distinctive enough for a Farseer, in my opinion. For this conversion, the torso of the Farseer was instead taken from the standard plastic Farseer kit.
2. A cloak was sculpted from Green Stuff - the Farseers tend to wear long cloaks over their robes; another design difference that distinguishes them from the Warlocks, but was omitted in the Skyrunner kit.
3. A close-up of the converted legs. The addition of the lower half of a Farseer's rune armour adds detail to the model.
4. A work-in-progress shot of the Farseer's Skyrunner jetbike. Additional runic designs have begun to be sculpted onto the canopy using Green Stuff.
5. This photo shows a mock-up of the conversion, partway through construction.
The stem of the flying base was cut down so that the Skyrunner hovers closer to the ground. This will be magnetised later.
6. The scenic base for the Skyrunner.
7. The completed conversion. The twin-linked shuriken catapults haven't been attached yet - they will be painted separately and then glued to the Skyrunner.
