Ohh also I forgot to mention, I bought a Crimson Hunter/Hemlock Wraithfighter! Its a variant of the 2 so I can use it as either, but I'm probably gonna use it as a Hemlock.
And Thanks for the nice words! I really have to try and update more often.

Finally finished the blade of the scythe today, I also was able to build the Wraithknight, excluding the arms and the weapon magnetization, (still waiting for an order from Puppetswar, ordered some heads and magnets), ATM I only have magnets that are too big for the smaller weapons, including the shoulder mounted weapons. And probably the big cannons too.
Pics coming up soon, probably tomorrow.

Well here are the pics of the Wraithknight in its current state, and the finished blade of the Wraithscythe, the handle of the Wraithscythe might need some work on it, I might also add another "Blade" or bit on the Scythe where the smooth/back of the blade is, As of now. I've also been working on a random character for a few days now, I have no Idea what he will become.

I made a sketch of a wraithknight, it a sort of test before I decide on the color scheme. I did the sketch on my phone (note 3) so it's not gonna be that great. Even though the sketch doesn't have an arm yet.

So, my foreworld eldar came in the mail, and I now have some pics of my "New Irillyth" in his current state, Because the fang is around the corner once again I will be painting him up once again since I really love the Model, I did something special on his base, I also added some slight alterations on the WraithScythe. I made some progress on the wraithknight base too.

After a few hours with an Airbrush, I have finished the start of my Shadow Spectres and Irillyth the Shade of Twilight. And some Corsairs.

Well, Another 6h wasted, Irillyth was in a very high progress, and then a part broke off, and whopty fething doo, the super glue sprays on the whole fething model, and it is now fully ruined.

The last good photo of Irillyth. .. Had to order a new one... At least I can keep the extended base that I made, and not have to remake it since it is magnetized.

Well, I have finally built the Wraithknight, the hand holding the wrist is removable, and is just Pinned, I will be gluing the feet to the legs and just keep the feet, pinned with long pins to the base. I have also only pinned the Torso to the legs with a much thicker brass pin. The head is magnetized. Instead of putting the heavy weapons on the arms I went for a shoulder mounted approach, and they are pinned, I still need some advice on how to incorporate the smaller weapons to the model.

The previous Wraithknight pics were a few days old, and today I decided to finally start painting the model, I have the basic colors down, including the white, the black/grey has suffered some over spray from the white, so I will be putting on some blue tack (in my case white tack) on the white pieces, or with tape, and then painting the dark grey again. The heads green part Is done, and now I have to mask it and paint the rest of the head white, The Scythes blade is almost done (both) still need to go in and touch up on it, and I forgot to paint the shoulder mounted cannons, set aside the canopy or the base of the cannons. I still don't have an idea on how to implement the small weapons to the model, my first idea is to Wrist mount them. Also I'm going to start painting my Hemlock very soon, once I find my modelling sand... going to paint it in a dual color scheme like the Eldar Void Dragon Phoenix, but instead of black/grey and orange, I'm going with a black and green + some white to tie it in. Well set that aside here is my Wraithknight in its current shape and form.

I have now decided to go for a wrist mounted approach on the smaller weaponry, and I have the weapon carpaces glued on and they are nice and sturdy, I have not glued the actual weapons to the carapace/hull of the weapons because I want to have an option between my weaponry, Just like the shoulder mounted weapons, I also apologize for the very blurry last picture of the wraithknight. I will be painting the weaponry before I take more photos

Finally decided to do some more work on the Wraithknight, and I think I have everything done that I will be doing with an airbrush on that model. I still need to tidy up on the model where I masked some of the white and didn't get the black/grey under the tape. I also need to tidy op on some white over spray. The only thing on this model I will be using an airbrush on will be on improving the blade. I have started painting the Hemlock Wraithfighter, I have the 2 main colors almost done, the black/grey is spot on currently, but I got some grey over spray on the green side so I'm going to have to prime that part white again and paint It green, because of the nature of the paint, I just can't paint it on. My last shadow spectre Autarch was awesome and I love him, but I realized I can't put him into the Fang competition because of the Puppets war head I have on him. . So I decided to make another! This time with a dark eldar reaver head. I think this model will be going into the youngbloods entry and Irillyth to the Single Miniature category.

Sorry this time for a wall of text, I hope it's not too long!

Well, a little update, the Shadow spectre Autarch is painting yo nicely, and I tried my hand at some greenstuff work, I got some clay shapers/rubber brushes (or what ever you want to call them) and I worked on some hair and a hood. I still don't get why people complain about how expensive they are, I got mine off of eBay for 8 pounds (came with 5). Speaking of EBay I found a Revenant titan off of eBay for 100 euros.. I hope I'm going to win this bid. And you don't often stumble upon a brand new Revenant for less than half the price. Well here is the Shadow Spectre Autarch, and I think I'm going with this color scheme throughout the army. The Claws on the hands are not painted up properly yet and neither is the rim of the helmet or even the base (I'll show it in a future update) I went and hacked of the Rock from the model and pinned it to a Paper clip to make it look like it is still flying. I did this mostly because the rock didn't fit the rest of the base. Well here it is!

The new Irillyth came I the mail yesterdayI have now based him too, I think it came out better than the previous one. I have also added so wires and tubes to the bases now to make a more industrial look.

Well the great Valomir (or Rafael Garcia) was kind enough to send me a cast of a custom sculpted Bonesinger. And I received it today. I also want to say sorry for not posting anything for a week. I was, let's say unavailable... So here he is based and ready to get painted. I'm going to keep with the same color scheme as I have before as I feel it would suit the Bonesinger. I really love the sculpt and I hope I can give the model some justice with my current painting skills.

Are you going to beef up the haft of the wraithlord's scythe at all?

Well at this current state, I have no Idea how I would do it. I could snap the bottom blade off, and rip off the handle, then take a slightly bigger tube cut it and place it overlapping on top of the rod, and then putting the hand back, gluing it, putting the other piece of a tube on the other side of the hand, and then gluing the blade back on. Do you have any suggestions on how I could beef it up?

I have had some work done and painted the bonesinger and Irillyth. The bonesinger is done! Set aside the freehand work I'm planning on his back, and the water effects. And Irillyth is well under way. So here they are!

Well I got a hit side tracked with some things and I decided to go back and do the gold on my avatar, but he is not the main attraction today, (one of the reasons is m, I dont have any pics of him yet). But I stripped the paint off of him. I had painted him previously but I thought the paint job didn't do him justice. So ai wanted to repaint him. One of the wings snapped off, so I had to pin it and GS over it. I think I Did A Fair Job. He is now fully assembled but not glued to the base. Which I also had to heavily GS because of the Fact that I had scraped and battle damaged it heavily previously, so I wanted them to be smooth again. I have since sanded it smooth too. So here it is!

Well my Irillyth is almost complete now. Still need to finish all the gems and the gun/energy blades. The water effects are almost cured now too. I also need to do some freehand in the back, and I'm thinking of doing some stripes/patterns on the loincloth and/or ribbons

So I worked on irillyths blade for a little while andI think I'm happy how it came out. My original idea was to have the dark area be a green/yellow nebula, but when I tried making nebulas by hand, It just came out cruddy . I think I might have to go back and make the nebula on it, since I really like the idea.
[Edit] also the picture does the blade no justice, in the pic it looks lumpy etc, irl it's not. I'll try and get a better pic soon

These miniatures look even better irl
Great job on all of your miniatures, I didn't realize how complicated it was to build that base for Iryllith.

Well, as luck may have it, I broke my thumb, and I'm now unable to paint for 3 weeks... well I decided to take a few updated pics of Irillyth, and I managed to get a better pic of the power weapon on him. All that is left on him is to paint his gun and to do some extra highlighting. I got some pretty good lighting right now so I got a few decent pics.
@SluggaSlugga thanks! Now I'm just curious of who you are if you've seen them irl

Well without further ado, here he is.

I love the paint job on this, and the very dynamic pose you've got him in, plus the detail on that base really sets the whole thing off.

Nice sculpting and painting.. but man oh man those bases are where it's at.. Very moody and interesting. Nice blog!

Well, now that I have a broken thumb, I really cant do any proper modelling. So I have been spending a lot of time Fiddling with a few bases, browsing the web, buying a lot of stuff online, including Greenstuff, A model from Kingdom Death, (I love the company), they have some great sculpts that I enjoy a lot. Set aside the several disturbing monsters. I hope to see their new releases, since all of the models I like, were limited editions, and are not produced anymore. So I got an awesome model off of Ebay. I bought the Warrior of the Sun model. This one

@ hk1x1 and @ MLaw, Thanks you both! I really tried to make the bases unique, and have a nice contrast to the model, (Especially the green), The base also makes the green parts "pop".

I also have recently commissioned, a Polish company called: Den of Imagination, to convert/custom sculpt a model for me. The sketch I gave them was this one. Or I'll leave it in the attachment section. (the first one)
So they gave me a sketch around a week ago, and I would like to share it here. The final model pose will be slightly different than the sketch shown. They might have mis-understood what I wanted. But anywho. Here they are.

*Click on the images to see them upright*

So my thumb has now healed and I have a lot of new stuff to show you guys. So I finished Irillyth except the freehand on the back and some improvements to the nmm gold. I also finished building my first box of Death Marshals and I converted the faces to look like starbound Novakids. I really like the way they look as of now. I have also painted some of my Shadow Spectres and I like how they look. I have started on my Kabuki Models Konrad Kurze and I did quite a lot of nmm on it. I have changed most of the gold to nmm gold on my eldar. I also got a limited edition Bonesinger from eBay and put it together. So I now have 2 Bonesingers. I made a cool custom base for him too.

So this year's Fang Painting Competition is coming up in around a month. So I am thinking of entering Irillyth, a new WraithLord, and my Crimson Hunter Variant. And my new Bonesinger

The pics of a Irillyth are not that great. I need to take some in better light. I just noticed this fact and I'm sorry about that.

Quick update. I forgot to take WIP photos of my new WraithLord that I'm entering into this year's Fang. I do have some pics of it being primed and it's current state. I have also started the base for my Death Marshals and my Bonesinger. So here they are.

Finished assembling my kingdom death model, and I just need tomake him a base and I'm on my way to paint it. I also cleaned up the black parts of the WraithLord and I need to start highlighting the black. I will get better pics when I have the chance.

Well, I finally pieced together a decent base for my Kingdom Death model, and I quite like it. I still need some ideas on what kind of freehand I should paint on irillyths back/small one on his loincloth. I also need some ideas on my Wraith fighter/crimson hunter mixed variant. Because normally I have all my gems and energy items + lenses green... and now that the model is painted black/green 50/50 I don't know what color to go in the middle... I know I will be using white to break up the pure color, and using black on the green and green on the black. But Im still unsure of what color to paint the cockpit and gems etc. Blue? Orange? Hope to get some answers for that.
