    Right, so I started again from scratch, going for that Maugan Ra look. I think, this came out a lot better than the military pick. Hope you guys like it.

    Yeah this one is better than the other one. The other seemed so, savage? I'd still use it though. Made me think if a Banshee was a Dark Reaper before maybe they'd go for that scythe over a spear. But that's going into something different entirely. Anyway, I like the shapes of the blades and only thing I can say is that floral pattern looks out of place on a weapon. Since I've seen a similar pattern on a pillow and shower curtains. Something like this would fit more,

    Though the pattern you used could go for a different ceremony. Not sure I want to be around a ceremony that involves a scythe though. Then again it could just be my playing Bloodborne saying that lol.

    You make a good point. I just hastily used the floral pattern I had in my collection. My bad. Thorns, indeed, would fit a lot better. Here you go :)

    This time, I decided to try and design a ranged weapon from scratch. Still learning, still learning... but, I think it came out alright.

    Time to practice a bit of forum necromancy and resurrect this thread ;)

    Since we all had a sneak peak into the Eldar in EC, here's a concept art of mine for Dire Avenger Exarch's helmet. Any comments would be more than welcome :)

  8. Looks quite good I do say, it is an Exarch so maybe the "fancyness" will show more in the colour scheme?
  9. You like 2 models we saw in the stream?
    Any redesign suggestions? ;)

    Honestly, as a someone who will probably play Dire Avengers hevaily, I don't want a huge helmet plume (it's okay though if theplume hair is a bit longer at the back). What I prefer are lots of details in both armour and helmet (and preferably weapon as well).

    The stomach armour, vambraces and sword are of the level I am hoping for. The plume IMO is reaching up to far over the head.
