eldar farseer falcon turret
This turret option is based on an old Epic 40,000 HQ choice, which allowed you to field a Farseer mounted in a Falcon. This was originally built as part of a larger project, the Eagle; ultimately I wasn't happy with the hull of that vehicle so I decided to complete the turret as a standalone option for a regular Falcon hull. It wasn't possible to physically fit a Farseer into the turret (even a Warlock was a squeeze); my interpretation is that the Farseer is embarked inside the hold and channels his psychic powers through the Warlock crewman in the turret.date: 2009 - present (work-in-progress)
components (per Falcon): 1x Falcon turret, 1x Falcon pilot arms & controls, 1x Forge World Type II Falcon turret top, 6x Wave Serpent force field projectors, 1x Eldar Warlock, 1x High Elf Archer arm, 1x Dire Avenger shuriken catapult, 1x Dire Avenger Exarch shimmershield arm, plasticard (various thicknesses), Green Stuff, neodymium rare earth magnets (various sizes)

The head was cut away from the body and repositioned slightly lower so that the torso would fit into the cockpit of the turret.
The cockpit was sunk lower into the turret to accommodate the taller helmet of the Warlock crewman.

I used Green Stuff to hide the join between the resin and plastic components.
