The Battle Standard Bearer

WHat model or models could be used to create a really striking bsb?
He will be on foot, wearing heavy armur and accompanying the black guard. However I don't want him to look to much like the black guard but have him as a sort of mini centrepiece.

There was a limited edition BSB on foot. You might be able to get him somewhere on the internet

If you are not using a unit of Executioners in your army, the Executioner Standard Bearer can fill this role very nicely.

But if you can get your hands on the Limited Edition Standard Bearer, I would suggest that.

I'd definately try to find the BSB that came with the army box set. Ebay would be a good place to look if nowhere else comes to mind.

and dont forget that the limited edition BSB is roughly a head taller than the plastic elves... and a little bit taller than black guards... imposing figure

wee.. this is my first post on druchii.net

You can also use the female Dark Eldar Lord.

You'd just have to replace staff and pistol with a standard and a Druchii-weapon.
I used this model and replaced the left hand -the one holding the pistol- with the hand of the corsair-champion pointing at the enemy.

I just finished making mine from the dark eldar lord model. I chopped off the pistol and used the top of a spear to make a blade and greenstuff to make a handle. I cut off the top of the staff and used brass rod to make the top of the standard. I think it came out great (for once)

Well in the end I used an old high elf phoenix guard model (forgive me :oops:

) I cut off the blade of the halberd and attached the blade and half of the staff of the beastmaster on manticore's lance. I then added the normal banner cross from the DE Warriors set and painted my own banner. I painted the whole model in dark colours with some gold and silver armour to make it look less High elvsih. I think iyt came out really well but since I don't have a digital camera I cant show you.
