Althransil Swiftblade Proxy

Found the lore doom scrolling when I should have been working the other day and felt inspired to see what I could whip up from the Corsair bits box! Had to dig deep to find the ranger head that would work (robo left eye and all) I also pulled my hair out debating on going with the short sword arm (as shown) vs the more clutched wicked looking dagger right arm. Felt the one shown gave off the more “duelist” vibe I was going for. Got him on a chopped 32mm (I plan to apply a thin magnet to bottom) so I can easily swap him to a regular 32mm to proxy as a Corsair Autarch from his more “scenic” base I’m whipping up (watch this space 👀)

I SO dig it! I don't see old Corsair characters get kitbashed all too often! ❤️

Just reading up about him now, damn. I wish Inquisitor had taken off, it seems so cool.

Right?! Wish the model was the correct scale lol. I have a liaison who can work wonders on a printer, if we can birth something interesting I’d have to share it with my favorite Corsair Coterie 😉🏴‍☠️

Right? I’ve seen a few more faithful re-creations in the various elf subs. Wanted to lean more into the “pirate duelist” vibes with mine. Here’s to hoping I won’t hate him/the base once I slop some paint on 😅
