so the Wraithseer is getting there - legs and body done, and the holo fins stuck on. Not looking too bad, and as you know, I rarely give myself too much credit!
next: arms and spear; once they're done and attached, I can get the shoulder pads done and then it's just the d-cannon left : )

Maybe its the heaving bosoms. It's got that hourglass figure!

It's also damn well painted.

I used this image as a reference, so I guess feminine is a compliment! I looked for quite a long time for staff/spear fighing stances to use, and decided on this as it was elegant, but very strong at the same time. Couldn't replicate it as well as I would like, as I couldn't get the spear totally vertical, and could only swing the left foot/leg around so much. I should be able to push it a little closer to a right angle when I glue it onto the final base... you get the idea. One of the problems with a lot fo the images I found was that the stance had the fighter's feet really quite wide apart, which wouldn't let me fit it on a standard base.

Well painted is obvious, but just as importantly, very creative and well designed! Very nice scheme and original scheme and layout, you made a lot of really good decisions if you ask me!

You know why they call it man flu?

Because only a Man could survive it.

Cancer can get man flu that's how potent it is..

Man flu i like a cancerous leprosy of the posterior. It also has some ebola mixed in for good measure.

progress: most of the arms done, but a few bits of cleaning up and tidying to do. I also want to do some further highlighting on the shield runes. But the arms are now stuck on, as is the head, so the shoulder pads can go on now, and then it's just the weapons to go : )

Just amazing! The only problem is that when I see it, I have this overwhelming urge to swat it with a rolled up news-paper.

your work is absolutely fantastic. Love the colour of your eldar seriously considering stealing that scheme.

I'm guessing your using glazing to get the blends so smooth? I wish I could paint that way its fantastic
