Howling Banshees

These are Wendlepot's favourite warrior Aspect. Big Fergus helped paint the Exarch. It was difficult to see how to add some craftworld colours to the Aspect's existing paint scheme, so Wendlepot used Dark Angels green on their loin cloths and 'breast'plates. Purple helms and shoulders were tried but didn't look too good. Wendlepot used Screamer Pink on their hair to match her own (much to Big Fergus' dismay), as opposed to the recommended Red Gore.

Since the change in Craftworld colour scheme Wendlepot has changed some of the Howling Banshees colours. This is a work-in-progress as below:
The Howling Banshees now consist of 10 Banshees and 2 Exarchs (and Jain Zar). The first Exarch is equipped with an Executioner. The second is magnetised with Power Sword/Mirror Swords, Triskele and Shuriken Pistol options:
The magnetisation is done by recessing double-stacked 3mm magnets into the shoulders of the body and adding locator pins underneath:
These 4 magnets all align to give a stronger magnetic field, and so spare arms attract to each other. The Shuriken Pistol arm is cut from a regular Banshee while the Triskele arm is a Jain Zar Triskele and part of a Banshee Power Sword arm. The arms have 2mm magnets and holes drilled to accept the locator pins:
