My High King Conversion
This is a great time for our beloved Druchiis! I know have made a High King for the Dark Elves.
Obviously you need to think up a background story for him due to the fact that Malekith is the Druchii ruler... I thought up something like a colony no ones heard of that has been overrun by a Druchii army. This Druchii army has no way of getting back to Naggaroth, and so they stay there and creates a whole new society. Obviously they need a ruler and so the army general, Lord Korhedron, claims himself the new high king of Everland!
Now to the conversion part...
This is a king that is carried by four bearers upon a throne. For the throne I have used the Dwarven Throne of power but I have replaced dwarven markings with Druchii ikons. For the king I have chosen the upper body of an old chronopian model. The lower body is made of a warrior. I have used a lot of greenstuff to make him sit properly and to create the royal cloak. This is formed so that it will fit with the backside of the throne. I also created a blanket to have his feet on. I made a royal crown out of greenstuff and also converted a sceptre and the gauntlet of power. The four bearers is created out of warriors but I have added cloaks in greenstuff. I also converted their helmets, giving them Brettonian helmet tops in stead.
Here´s a list of part I used:
One chronopian warrior
5 dark elf warriors
the top of the spear symbol on the DE chariot.
Throne of Power
4 Brettonian helmets
And some bits out of my bit box...
Lord Korhedron, son of the High King

Sounds good.
If you use him in battle, what stats are you using for him, and how are you equipping him? (Besides giving him the Gauntlet of Power.)

You leave your heart behind, you/leave your soul behind, you
Leave your head
And leave your mind
You won't need it where we're going
Still I see your black stars when you're coming for me
Well don't it just fit like that?

Well in normal 2000 pts battles I just use him as a standard Highborn, usually giving him sword of might and enchanted shield(also converted to the model except their just hanging on the side of the throne). I have "marked" a corner of the base that represents him in a normal battle.
I am sketching on special rules for him to use in friendly battles(not tournaments) making special magic items and rules that will fit in, not overpowering him... I will also wright a more detailed background story for him.

Pictures of my concersion is now avaible in the album. It´s on the character side. Please feel free to comment on it. I hope that this wakes the conversion spirit amongst my breatherens, for thus the Druchii is truly the ruler race!
Yours sincerely

Wow!! Now thats a beautiful piece of work!! I was thinking of doing something similar for my sorceress but instead of a throne have here being carried on a canopied ummm... I'm not sure what to call it but I guess it would be similar to a bed...
Though if and when I ever get the time to do it I doubt I'll have to skills to pull it off...

I will build me a similar model with my queen. I´m still thinking about it though... It would be kinda cool though with both a king and a queen :-)
I will also convert a royal guard for my king consisting of perhaps 20 models similar to the throne bearers. Perhaps even a guard for my queen.

I can give you my point of view concerning dark elves carried like a dwarf. This is a character made up from my imagination. He is very egocentrisk, meaning that he sees himself as a sort of the center of the universe. He is the unquestioned king of Everland. A throne is the only suitable for him. A mere dragon is for the weaker lords of naggaroth...
Besides He is defenitely more king like than any other model I have seen that GW has produced... and what a king need is a throne

Pretty sweet model.
Might try something similar for a High Sorceress. (Although I'm getting the nagging feeling that someone's already done a conversion of a HS on a platform.)
Excellent, excellent model, though. Love the paint job on it!
