Dark Eldar Archon Conversion

Published:

Description

This is the result of using the other Epic Revenant Titan I had laying around. A long time ago I bought a couple of Epic Revenant Titans, just because they looked really cool. Actually I bought just one, but the order got fortunately bugged and they sent me two. For a long time, they'd just been gathering dust, but after I converted one of them into an Autarch, I've always thought about turning the other into an Archon for my Dark Eldar, it would bring a cool symmetry to the two armies IMO. I was moping over losing the cape I was going to give him so that's mostly why it took me so long to actually go ahead and finally make it.

Bitz list:
- Epic Revenant Titan body and back crest.
- Spare Archon head (two-faced helmet).
- Sybarite power blade plus rifle "bayonet" blade attached to the other end.
- Sybarite Blast pistol.
- Dark Elf Cold One riders helmet crest.
- Sybarite Phantasm Grenade Launcher with a Hekatrix trophy rack attached to it.

Name and Backstory:
My Dark Eldar army has a Soul Reaver them going on, so the Archon of the whole Kabal is themed around Raziel, but that's not who this is. Raziel's brothers were all betrayed by Kain and turned into some kind of abomination, so in my 40k version of the story, Kain was an Ancient Haemonculus who in a way "created" them in the first place, but like in the game, he betrays them when they begin to show more potential than even him. Long story-short, Raziel rises once again to power, recovers hiw Kabal, and secures the help of another Haemonculus named Malekain (I had to keep the word Kain in it =P) to restore his brothers to some version of their former selves. Some could not be trusted to be 100% loyal, and some would need much heavier reconstruction than others, but they were all placed in these armored suits, which were able to control the loyalty of those within and keep them as loyal brothers and captains to Raziel's Kabal. This model represents on of such suits, and it may be Zephon (Scourges), Turel (Hellions), Rahab (Wych Cult), Melchiah (Mandrakes) or Dumah (Incubi), depending on which special character I want it to represent, using the rules of Lady Maly, Duke Sliscus, Baron Sathonyx, etc...
