Thanks
I'm going to be using it as a spiritseer, though it would make more sense as a farseer I guess.
But, currently I'm using two spiritseers in this army so I don't think it has room for confusion. I'm tempted to strip the chapter house farseer I have as well to see how it goes in these colours. The head parts on that are annoyingly flimsy feeling due to how thin they are so maybe I'll have to look at some conversion work for it.

And yet another wraithguard ready for snow, leaving one more for this squad.


After the next one need to figure out the numbers again with the second wraithknight to see how I can fit in 10 wraithguard with dscythes.

And here is the 10th Wraithguard so far.

If by all but finished you mean the first ten of the planned 20 done, then yeh. Only halfway done with them so far...

Few pics this time.
First wraithguards 6-10 complete and ready to go.


Bonesinger


Some group shots




And a look at part of the second half of this army; still have a second spiritseer, 10 wraithguard and a second wraithknight to get done.

So with an amazing bit of luck, I managed to add this to my Eldar today for only $100 from my brother.


Needs some repair work to the knees and some gap filling to the back of them. Probably find something suitable to go over the gs for the actual knee pads unless they look nice enough sanded down I suppose. But it's been a little while since I've had this much interest in a model.

Sorry not commented in a while. Amazing work bud, all looking fantastic. And to top it off you lucky boy, awesome buy. This is going to be an amazing army.

Hmm... I haven't posted on dakka for 4 months, but I guess I should say I'm in the same position as Camkierhi. Keep the work up, it's looking amazing.

Only blutaced on at the moment, but what's people's opinions on these for the knee pads?




I kind of like them at the moment, seem a bit more fitting than the actual knee pads would have been. They fit perfectly which is lucky, and seem to fit in with the style of the other shield parts.

Look good to me, though maybe slightly "tall", are they carapaces from jet bikes?

Ooh nice score. Not bad for a $100.

I like the knees. They could maybe be rounded off a little because as they are now they look a little dark eldarish. But they are by no means a deal breaker as far as aesthetics go.

Alright, so went to prime it this morning, only to find out I had enough left to get some of the legs done.

So going through bits I thought maybe I could put something extra onto the base and came up with this.




My army tends to basically only have seers as the living parts of the army so thought maybe a dead guardian on the base could look interesting. Slumped up against a wall at the back of the titan. He's not glued in place yet, though this seems like the best place for him. I still have to clean it up a little, then think of how to add the damage to him to make it more obvious he's dead. The posing though I think worked out well. Then it may be best to keep it separate for painting. The final idea with it is along with the snow on the base he will have some on him as well to make it look like he's been there for quite a while.

Added battle damage to the guardian.

Finished the guardian for the base now. Turns out guardians are really really quick to paint in this scheme after wraithguard. It took maybe an hour.


And how it looks on the base. The black throws the contrast off a bit.

Got the large drybrush and finally got some paint onto the titan.
Will take a while though cause it took about an hour just to put this basecoat down.



The parts left black are the parts that will definitely be white at the moment.

Making some decent progress with this now. Already up to starting on the white.

WOW that was quick, sorry did not comment a little earlier.

Guardian looks awesome, love that detail. Great little touch, Titan is epic dude, looking great.

Agreed with Cam, the guardian is a nice touch.

Love the pose as well. Looks like he's strutting.

I've actually picked up a bit of speed with this so far.




Close up of the guardian.


And how it is at the moment.


Yeh the shelf I take pictures on is currently on it's side so I can take decent pictures of the titan.
Also noticed I missed the gems at the missiles.

Edit: Got an idea, but is it too much?

It is looking fabulous, and you are shifting on now aren't you. See the extra guardian as well.

It's actually a Dark Eldar warrior. Not completely sold on adding him yet.

Yeah the Dark Eldar works. He's in a good pose too.

Finished the Dark Eldar and glued them onto the base. With how the rubble is there was actually two perfect little holes for its feet coincidentally, so that worked out well.

Alright, just finished the titan. Pictures could have come out a little better, but it's sort of annoying to get a decent picture of it.
It'll be fighting some Dark Eldar tomorrow to give it it's first test run. So might get a few pictures of that to add in for fun.
