eldar bonesinger 1
I decided to re-base the limited edition Bonesinger miniature on the ruins of a mighty Titan. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase the Titan mask (taken from the excellent Forge World kit) through an eBay auction. This Farseer is a companion piece to this conversion and stands on a similar Titan mask.date: 2007 - 2024 (complete)
components: 1x limited edition Eldar Bonesinger, 1x Forge World Eldar Revenant Titan mask, textured plasticard, 40mm round base

I cut the Titan mask at an angle so that the Bonesinger would appear to stand upright on it.
The detailing on the interior of the Titan mask was too good to hide, so I chose to position the mask so that it was visible.
