I wanted to make a Wraithknight a little more characterful than the typical version, and I thought it would be cool looking to have it taking cover behind a statue while it's powering up its weapons. So here's the result.

That's surprisingly cool. Is there a set? Like a formation where another one is firing?

I'm working on its brothers.

It also has two big brothers; a Revenant and a Phantom.

"when ya gotta go, ya gotta go."

Poop jokes aside this is pretty awesome. It evokes a sense of movement and emphasizes on how nimble and agile the large Eldar war machines are. You will never see an imperial walker being able to take cover lol

I love it! Kind of reminds like when in Transformers 2 when the Autobots and Decepticons are using the ruined pillars as cover.

Sorry-but I envision a huge turd under him. I do commend you for the effort and creativity! Also good painting!

Amazing posing and painting, very original and it really ties him into a more realistic environment for 40k !

Looking like he is doing a gak behind Mr. Spacemarine ,hands in the Air " hnnnnnnnnggg" WRAITHSHIT ..."M M M M MONSTERKILL"... Need Backup 120 feet of t paper needed...

He looks to be dropping a deuce. Cool though.

i'm not a big fan of the pose. that deep squat is definately not gonna be comfortable in a combat situ..i think he should be kneeling. good skills to model it though.

Very evocative.

Ever been in a firefight?

At Ft. Bragg I dont recall them giving us Wraith knights.

Looks like he's scratching his butt on that statue.

I like the concept, but the statuary partially off the side of the base and the wonky pose... It might look a lot better if he was kneeling behind the statue and firing around it, IMO.

I find this piece beautiful and hilarious. You have succeeded.

yes. and multiple field firing exercises. a squat is something i would not be doing. prone first, kneeling in worst case.
