Gavin Thorne wrote:Okay, here at Tek's request is my WIP pics of the Wraithguard conversion introduced to me by Mal and originally done by Morathi on Warseer. Quite a journey for this concept but I hope to do it justice. I think these guys will go great with my aspect warrior Wraithlords. Please remember that these are strictly work in progress, blue-stuffed for the pics and definitely in need of further modelling. Also, please excuse the background noise on the light box, just a few brown stuff smudges on the paper I used.

Looking good; I think I'm going to do the back fins more like the 2 that come on the current WL kit. I think I'm gonna make my heads a little bit smaller (thinner) than yours though. Nice idea with the wraithcannon.

Thanks guys, I still have some work to do - that wire's not attached obviously, the arms need their shoulders brownstuffed, and the back fin is just stuck on at this point. I'd like to work it into the torso a bit more.

Mal, I like the fins from the WL kit too, and I plan on making a variety of these guys. I thought the head was a little wide compared to the original, but it fits nicely and I'm happy with it. I might make another more narrow head and cast them both up.

This was a nice weekend project for me, thanks for the inspiration!

great work!

Cry threadromancy all you like - but dude check this out. See what this new plastic dark eldar is holding?



That's a wraithcannon my friend.

Great work !

Maybe, but it would be a little on the small side for our Wraithguard conversions. Looks ace though, good catch!

yeah I noticed this too; but I think there are also some pretty strong similarities between the wraithcannon and the body of the new Splinter Rifles as well (especially around the ammo-reservoir/bulb-thing and the stock). Maybe kitbash splinter rifles and the head/barrel of the blaster (I'm assuming that is a blaster) ???

On a side note, I think the splinter rifle might be an easy source of ranger long-rifles...

I have an Idea for a second objective.

Eldar War Shrine as objective with scatter laser turret gun.
