I'm looking for some ideas on modelling a Dark Eldar Archon with a Punisher (a big 2-handed power-halberd, basically) on a Reaver Jetbike.
Any ideas?

Hm... an extra pair of hands would work well if this guy expects to drive and use a two handed weapon at the same time Maybe you could make him look like he's clotheslining somebody? That could be sweet... Necrons may have some cool blade bits to make the Punisher out of, the warscythes are what I'm thinking of. Check out the Pariah models.

You could get a halberd and glue it to the jetbike itself. Makeing it like having a blade on the side of a chariot wheel.

Like one on either side or one coming out of the nose of the bike.

Like a switchblade - I was just thinking that until I scrolled down and saw your post. Damn you Evan for stealing my idea 12 hours before I thought of it!

Those hooked chains from the marauder horsemen kit would definitely make nice conversion bits for your dark eldar stuff - you have a couple of those kits for your WoC, right Bob? Brian's four armed idea is cool too. Either that or you could have him riding 'b'

Or you could have two figs on the one bike, one driving and than Archon with Punisher riding on the back.

or you can get a grey knight arm, with halbeird, and cut the arm at the hand, and use that, and make it chaotic with some WoC bits along with necrons or undead things

Maybe you could convert a eldar vyper and dont put on back gun then just place the Archon on the back where the gunner would have gone. Doing this you would have A. a cool conversion and B. The Archon could just stand on the back while someone drives creating a cool drive by "o where did my upper body go" effect. Totally just stole that idea from BTP but here is the basic idea i was going for only i think it would look cooler with dark eldar. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM9FXfwww6w&feature=channel_page

I took a Reaver.
I chopped off his right arm.
I glued on another arm (found on a sprue...maybe old ork? maybe something fantasy?) that's holding what looks like a Power Axe. It's big enough (as big as the guy!) that it's easily recognizable for what it is...a 2-hand power weapon.
I stole some DE spikey stuff from a Raider gunner's shoulders, and stuck them on him.
I stole some chains from juggernaught collars and some of the chainy-hooky things from some marauders and those are dangling off his fins.
I stole a small skin cloak from a marauder, and he's wearing it too...I'm hoping to paint it a nice flesh color, cuz wearing the skin of your victims is a powerful fashion statement.
Thanks for ideas!
