Default Conversion for O'Shova, Please Refer to O'Shova and Human Aux! More pics!

I'm working on a new look to O'Shova and wanted some feed back. Here are the parts I'm gonna use

1. SHAS'O R'MYR'S BATTLESUIT
1. O'shova atenna
1. USHABTI GLAIVE 2
1. Swooping Hawk Exarch Wing

1.Basicly I'll chop off and file of the tomb king regiment arms of the Ushabti glave.
2.Than I'll saw the glave where it fits into Shas'O R' Myrs hand
3.Than Cut the hawk wings in 1/2 and put them on the side of the crisis suit where the pack and the body meet
4. Sand down the side of Shas'O R'myr ears to add the O'Shova atenna
5. I may Oreder the Oshova shield and saw down the center and add the O'shova one in the center.

One problem I'll have is O'shova only has one plasma rifle and not two. So I'm debating in rather or not to chop of the dual plasma hand or not. I rather no but I want it to look cool and be legal as well. Also thinking about using Shas O' R' myr as my HQ with a 2+ save with a few mods here and there.

Sounds like a great idea, but...
I dont think the eldar wings would fit in, there just a compleay different style.
The Farsight ear things might not fit, and could just ruin the overall look of the head.
R'MYR looks like a good suit to work off of, but I think you should try to get rid of all the Tau signs on it first. It would look alot better if you could replace them with Farsights symbol.

waiting for the model to butcher it and post the destruction that is done to it. But I'm gonna try to get rid of the symbols with the O'shova ones. I may keep the tAU one on the chest. I still want to use the exarch wings for a wing effect. They are alittle smaller than I though but I have to wait and see.

Here is what I've got done with so far!. He has a lot of tau symbols so I tried to get rid of most of them. But I'll probably still keep have of the symbols. But I still kept the wings though. I'm not done but like I said here is a pic so you can see the results.

close-up, please. I think the wings are a little too small for him, but that's just my opinion.

Look at the WFB line for bigger wings. Great Eagles or Pegasus Knights might be more what you're looking for.

I looked at those wings but the problem with them is they are tooo big. I had to shave and file down these wings to get them to fit. But I'll look to see if I could swap out the wings before I start painting.
