Eldar Phoenix Lord Baharroth
the cry of the wind
My conversion of Baharroth required quite a lot of work. The original miniature is entirely posed in a 2D-plane and it looks rather silly these days with more dynamic miniatures available. My aim was to make the character look much more like he is flying and to break the pose out of the original confines.Date: 2012 - present (work-in-progress)
Components: 1x Baharroth, 1x Swooping Hawk Exarch head, 1x Swooping Hawk Autarch wings, scenic base elements from Shadow Spectres, brass rod, Green Stuff, 40mm round base

The proportions of the miniature were improved by increasing the length of the calves.
The arm was recreated in a more natural position using Green Stuff built around a wire frame.
1. My conversion of Baharroth.
2. A side view of the conversion of Baharroth. The wings are from one of the Autarch kits and feature more detailed feathers than those on the original. I have also attached them to Baharroth's back at a more interesting angle, making the miniature more dynamic and no longer confined to a 2D plane.
3. A view of the conversion of Baharroth from the rear.
The elaborate feather was carefully removed from the original head.
The new head comes from a Swooping Hawk Exarch, with the helmet filed down to a more streamlined profile.
4. A close-up of the new head.
5. A close-up of the scenic base. The resin pieces are offcuts from the bases of some Shadow Spectres, with some Green Stuff sculpting.
6. Baharroth undercoated and ready for painting.
