Dark Eldar Work In Progress
I have considered building a Haemonculus-themed army for over a year.  Most of the models have been assembled and primed, but I wanted to do something special for the Headquarters unit.  The obvious choice was Urien Rakarth, the master haemonculus.    There are a number of excellent conversions of this model that have been featured on the web at various Games Days.

I decided to emulate one of the conversions that I really liked, namely one with a tortured soul rising from Urien's crucible of malediction.  Instead of making the tortured soul from scratch, I opted to use an old Ral Partha goblin archer.  The model was approximately the right size for my needs and it seemed to have the proper look and feel.
