And here is the latest HQ conversion/kitbash for my Ynnari.
This project was super fun, as I went in to it blindly, and improvised as I went on. The legs were the most difficult part of the build, as I used Yvraines, Wyches and Kabalite Warriors part here. Yvraines legs had to be pinned and then green stuffed as they were so thin, that the glue had no hold. The other difficulty here was to line all the part perfectly up, which took me three days to do, as they always unglued or broke after the slightest pressure.
For the polearm arm I used Jains Zar arm and polearm handle, and the blade is a random Harlequin blade. The shoulder pad also is from jainzar, as I think it adds some weight to the model.
Her fan hand was cut in to three, allowing me to use a bracelet/armor arm from "Shrine of Khaine" model that, in my eyes, gave her more of a warrior look with that blade bracelet. And then just glued the fan hand back on.
Initially I wasn't planning to green stuff any cloaks on her, but then decided to actually give her some more flow, and added the hip cloth. I also used Yvraines spirit stones that she had around her hips, and added them to the new models leg bracelet and hip cloth.
She is also sporting a hip armor plate, that was from a Kabalite warrior shoulder, which I removed the blade part and smoothed it with some green stuff. As a final touch, I decided to try and add some runes to the plate, to make it more in line with her shoulder pad.
All in all I am very happy with this build, it was lots of fun, I defiantly improved my green stuff skills, and Aiana, former Corsair Captain, will be a great Archon/Troupe master in my army.
And thus, my long shelved wraithknight is finally finished. A project that I feared to start painting because of its size, this is the largest model that I have, and I was afraid to mess it up.
Finishing it brings a joy to my soul, as it now joins the army of my Ynnari.
P.S. dont know how to upload pictures here. Used to use imgur, but now it gives me an error when I try and access my upload folder.

How many years was it now since Ynnari was introduced in to 40k? I remember that I really took a liking on the faction and its lore, but I never wanted to paint your generic space elves so decided against collecting Ynnari. Until.
I was having a game in one of our local gaming stores and they had a box of doomfire warlocks with a discount on their shelves. I took the box in my hands just to check it out and the BOOM! Idea! I purchased the box and ordered a box of reavers and the rest is history. I kitbashed the two together and that was the start of my Ynnari force.
This unit, which was the 1st unit I have ever kitbashed for my Ynnari, was sitting on the shelf collecting dust ever since. And now I am really happy that it got the love it deserves and is fully painted.

Every time you post an update, I find myself going to GW's store and seeing what a Ynnari army would look like ... and coming away with nothing, as the sub-faction is barely supported and is more a labor of hobby love or competitive oddity.
Glad you've returned to the unit that kicked it off, they look great, bubble gum hair and WTF black goop bases and all
The harbinger of war and death, Warbringer Maleveth is feared even amongst the crazed members of the cult.
She rides in to the battlefield on the manifestation of fear and madness that she her self created using the spear of X'nan, a weapon that possesses the minds of which it strikes, making its target see hallucinations of its biggest fear followed by agonizing pain, as if someone rips you from limb to limb and drags you under the ground.
It is said that the spear was gifted to her by the Corrupt One, for the ruthlessness' she showed on the battlefield, and the amount of sacrifices she bestowed to the Corrupt one.
Really happy with how this model came out! Had to repaint the mount 4 times because I dident like the results. Then I had an accident when I dropped the model and the paint on the hair chipped, and a big piece at that... But! Now it is done, all the mistakes are fixed, and I can finally use this gorgeous beast in games.
I really do love that weird gribbly mount, echoes of the Jötunn with extra black goop for good measure. The red undertones are really nice as well. Big props on the rider's hair, way to persevere after some of it broke off

With her origins and name unknown she is being called "Whisperer". As the leader of the cult she decides who lives and who is worthy to join the ranks of Ynneads true followers.
She foresaw the coming of her God in her dreams, talked to Ynnead and saw its face, thus she is allowed to wear the mask of the Ynnead. Unlike all the other mask that show the anger and ruthlessness' of Ynnead, her mask resembles its calmness, patience and cold death.
Wilding one of the three blessed spears "x'änet" she leads her forces in to battle, striking fear in to her enemies. She is proficient in close combat, as well as blessed with Ynneads psychic powers that can rival even Farseers.
Finally painted this model. Only took me 2,5 years since I last posted her xD
I really like the use of the hands coming up from the ground as a unifying theme on the bases. How you carried this over to the creepy mount was excellent work!
I am looking forward to more!
"Oi, wot's 'dis, 'den? A whole pack a 'umie shootaz just lyin' 'ere in 'da dust wit' no one usin' 'em? 'Dat's a shame, 'dat is."
Happy to see her finally painted, what a great take on Jain Zar 🖤
