troupe of light
Each of my three Harlequin troupes comprises a full roster of twelve players, armed with a variety of weapons. The majority of the models have been converted in some fashion and I have combined parts from the current plastic kit and older metal models to produce a greater variety of poses.date: 2008 - present (work-in-progress)
components: Metal Harlequins, plastic Harlequins, Howling Banshee sword, Troupe Master sword, Storm Guardian head, Green Stuff, brass rod

The sword and right forearm came from the Troupe Master with Harlequin's Kiss conversion.
A small amount of Green Stuff sculpting was needed to mask a gap created by repositioning the legs on this model.
