1. The Exarch was first assembled without alteration from the normal model. I made sure to position the sword arm differently from the ''Eavy Metal version on the box art, which is positioned weirdly with the blade lying flat, obscuring all of the detail.

The muzzle of the pistol was missing the usual protruding barrel, so I added one using a short length of paperclip inserted into a carefully-drilled hole.

2. A close-up of the modified pistol barrel.

A hole was drilled into the centre of the flight pack between the wings and above the grenade pack. Although this destroyed a small amount of detail, it was necessary to achieve the look that I was going for with these models.

This piece of scenery was taken from the Warp Spiders kit.
