Been painting it in bits so this is the most complete ive seen it other than the picture in my head.
Its coming along.

photo was taken on my phone so the colours seem a bit washed out.

Absolutely love the spear!!!

Love the spear! Paint job looks great! Can't wait to see it finished! Also love how there's another $50 worth of model just sitting there on the base! =P nice work!

Wow! That is pretty awesome. Loving the weapon and the dead nid. Paint is looking good so far.

Finish and I'm very pleased.

The highlights aren't really showing up (camera phone) but you get the idea I think.

& I bet you're really proud of yourself too!

& so you should be - awesome job - love the crushed nid on the base & the halberd is beautiful.

Inspired work mate! really lovely job, the contrast between the smooth cartoon style of the Knight juxtaposed against the earthy organic nature of the Tyranid is well thought out and executed brilliantly!

That is how you make a damn fine centerpiece model. Excellent work.

That weapon is absolutely spectacular. I wish I had the skills to do this when my Ulthwe Wraithknight finally comes up to my painting arena

Love the pose, and the use of a darker blue. Too vibrant a blue mixed with yellow always looks kind of cartoony to me.

Good lord...

How do you make a huge expensive model even more awesome? Base it with another expensive model that used to be considered huge! Bravo

thanks all, heart warming feedback

Excellent job! You make me consider breaking my unpainted Wraithknight's legs to repose him!

I love that yellow.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Any how to on the spear?

The spear is all spare parts from the wraithknight box.
I happened to have a spare sword from my first wraithknight, so two chopped up swords make the blade. the shaft is the heavy wraith cannon barrel. the bits that hold the blade to the shaft are the fins from the end of the sun cannon. the pennant is a strip of green stuff left to dry and then bent and glued on, the mix was more yellow than blue so the green stuff would stay flexible. The only part not from the wraithknight box was the part of the shaft the hand is holding and that's just a round bit of sprue I had lying around from a WW2 gun I bought for bits.all pretty simple, the hardest part was keeping it all flat and straight whilst glueing.

That's great, very cool project! Thanks for the info.

Stunning! I especially like the painting on the massive glaive-ey thing, very shiny.
