I have a few new minis on the way including an Eldar Wraithlord and some War Walkers

The poses on these minis aren't particularly inspiring and I just wondered if anybody had any first hand experience (on Eldar models or otherwise) or just general advice on how to create some more dymanic poses?

You can carefully cut the knee to get a little bend and some motion going on. Not hard conversion work, but a level above headswap, etc.

I reversed the grip on the sword.

One thing I didn’t do, but would not have been hard would be to carefully cut the shoulder guards to angle them. The arms are ball and socket, so you can get a huge range from them, but the shoulders restict the options.

What about the feet? I can see on the first image you sent that the back leg toes are bent upward to allow for the leg positioning?

IIRC the kit comes with a few, some flat, some bent. Assorted arms as well.

I made my Wraithlord a sniper with a double barreled Brightlance. He's kneeling. Be warned, some people may bring up the Modelling for advantage thing... (I have a spear with a banner I set with it to get the proper height if someone mentions it)

This involved some very careful cutting at the knees, and some Greenstuff work filling the gaps.

Keeping the hobby side alive!

I never forget the Dakka unit scale is binary: Units are either OP or Garbage.
