I am putting together an all wraith army and my idea is for as many of the units and vehicles to be wraith contructs as possible. Obviously the stadard wraith knights, lords and guards will all be present along with spiritseers, warocks and farseers but the catch coms more with the vehicles. In my searches I have tried to find alternates that would work but the only one I could find that I liked were the wraith stye vehicles made by mousemuffins a couple years ago. They would have been my go to choice but they are extremely hard to find these days and the designer has stoppoed producing them much to my dismay so the task has fallen to me to convert them.

Jetbikes: for these Id like to keep them small and more self contained similar to the larger drones fielded by the tau. Im considering using the DE hellion board as a base and beilding on some type of nose or wraith head to give it more of a focused front "face". I just want to avoid it looking like a hellion board with a wraithguard head glued on. Ive experiemented a little with derivations on the actual eldar and DE jetbike and in the end I think they just look to traditional. Im trying to avoid the riderless jetbike look in favor of something more contained. The best of the best of the craftworlds jetbike pilots entombed i a wraithbone speeder of death.

Vypers and falcons: for these I think i am going to stick with the traditional models but with the cockpits puttied over to producs a seemless curved look to the hull. I would then add some seer stones and probably some warp veins to further denote the wraithness.

While these are some basic ideas I have I am by no means married to them and I am very open to suggestions. Overall I just want the pieces to look wraithlike and natural while avoiding the patchwork look. Eldar are so sleek and I dont want to lose that. If anyone has any ideas o other ways to wraithify these units (or any others) i would love to hear them. Thanks!
