So, an Eldar Iyanden List I want to play includes a Farseer on Jetbike. I don't want to order the Chapterhouse kit or get into making a green stuff cloak to cover up the mishaps of converting a biker to a Farseer.
There is a great plastic Farseer kit, but that fairly static in pose. I decided to try an alternative to the jetbike model and want to use an support battery antigrav platform instead. I had one lying around. I gently ripped off the glued gun emplacement. ;)
To my joy, a 25mm round base fits exactly in the center of this platform. That allows me to have the plastic farseer stand on the platform on his base, so I can tie that together with deco and paint and use the model without the bike if needed.
Additionally, I gave the farseer the sniper rifle. I found a dark eldar rifle for this and attached that and the figures head with 2x2 mm magnets. The base is held on the antigrav platform with another magnet pair.
You can see the model here. My focus was on utility and having a model that won't be confused with anything else and matches the jetbike dimensions closely to avoid modelling for advantage discussions from the get-go.
I want to add some rune deco to both the base and the antigrav platform, but I'm pretty happy with the model's overall look.
Update: I carved runes into the models base and the sides of the platform and applied some paint. It's not finished, but far enough that I could glue the farseer to the base and make the model playable.
