This is my spartan inspired wraithknight, the idea came from the helmets on the Dire Avengers, the Suncannon (will still count as ) has been remodeled as a spear the shield was the bottom of a can of soft drink.

I have tried to push myself with this mini as it will centre piece my army, and am fairly happy with the result.

Awesome, i dont like leaning backwards look but overall i think it looks very cool. I am impressed.

Wow! Looks awesome!

Can I buy this at McDonald's? Because I'm loving it!

Seriously great work! Love the freehand, you have a great color palette, and the lighting effects are evocative as well as understated (which is the key to pulling them off). I love the crest on the helmet.

For a minute, I had this sick feeling in my gut that I was going to see some horrible Halo-inspired piece. Thanks for restoring a tiny portion of my faith in humanity.

Epic work. Great concept, and pretty much flawless execution.

How is the armour painted?

The armour is mostly airbrush, just too dam big to paint by hand.

Thanks for the comments guys.

This is amazing

Such love much detail!

The best Wraith Knight model I've seen painted. Good job dude!

Some bad with the good, I would go with a more cinematic pose on a model you have obviously put painstaking effort and untold hours into. But wow does that thing look great.

He does need to be leaned forward a bit. He looks off balance.

THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I was waiting for someone else to do it so I wouldn't feel 12. Couldn't hold it in.

Awesome model, would love to see an entire spartaned out eldar army. It would be so cool. You could make a Persian themed chaos army for them to battle.

Spartaaaaan! What is our profession???




Epic conversion lol

The colour scheme's bang on and I like the pose - looks laid-back and confident. Sweet work.

To be fair, if the pilot were at some point a mere civilian member of a craftworld, he could have been a tailor!

...I love the model!!! Great work!

Beautiful! Best looking one yet!

That's so awesome, great conversion and paint job!

I love it! Awesome freehand!

That looks really cool! Well done!

The helmet really sets it off - is that from a 3rd party or just really smooth greenstuffing?

The helm, faceplate was filled in with putty and visor was cut out with a razor saw, the last third of the helm was cut and held upright with more putty, the comb was made with (surprise), even more putty.
I'm too cheap to buy greenstuff so i use Kneadit which is a epoxy plumbers / builders product, goes hard way too quick but is very strong and sands really well.

The standard faceplate looks stupid on these things anyway.

Man, looks awesome. Great work. Can't echo that enough!

Ah, interesting. Cheers.

Paintjob is amazing. I think the pose is good too, unlike most people.

Much better than the standard version. Almost makes me want one.

Very good! Would like to see a whole Elder army done like this.

I really cant say much more than the other posts here, great all over.
Im just slowly getting used to how nerdy and awkvard the original model looks (especially the head and poseability).
And now this makes the whole thing awesome with some minor conversions, and i could not agree more with your thoughts on the original head.

Also, the style of your model fit the pose great in my oppinion.

Awesome, Minotaurs Wraith Knight!

Who man. That is very original. Good job!

wow that's amazing
