The Coven Master

I have put together a new Haemonculus from my bits box. I wanted a cloak on him. My original plan was to make a raider for the Coven by taking a corpse cart from AoS and using the driver as a Haemonculus. CO-VID got in the way and I was unable to get a cart when I needed it so I was looking in my pile of shame and noticed I had a Tau Ethereal from their Start collecting set. I don't like the look of the fish heads so had no real intention of making the Ethereal (I like the gundam robots so Farsight all the way). I therefore decided to use the model for a second HQ. 

First thing I had to do was chisel the legs off the front of the cloak. The chest plate from the raider crew was an okay fit to the back section. I flattened the adjoining sections and clipped off anything that over hanged. 

I wanted an insectile look to him with lots of arms all bending inwards like a spider. I did want to have the head on a long neck making him more nightmarish but with some test positions using spares from the talos kit. I didn't look how I imagined so I went back to a normal head. Everyone knows the evil mastermind have bald heads so of course I chose appropriately. 

It needed plenty of green stuff to fill the gaps. 

Looking at the final product I should have given him the pistol rather than the rifle as he's going to be moving to keep up the the Coven heavies. But I suppose he can lurk at the back somewhere and let his apprentice take the risks. 

I have named him Bekliel Ghorghast (from the Kill team book) Ghorghast will be the leader of the Coven that is aligned with the Overlord Archon.

I wanted to take my Coven as Dark Creed and make some fear bombs, therefore he should have the warlord trait of "fear incarnate" . Again should have the pistol. If he gets within 3" he can cause a mortal wound. Combined with a leadership hit from himself and other creed units in combat and elite infantry are not as safe as they think.
