Looks nice, and yeah, totally works fluff wise. I'm surprised there aren't more of these type of conversions around, its a pretty inspirational piece of fluff. Rep

 

Also, are you thinking of adding some sort of dreadlock type things to the back of the head like on the scorpions? I think that would look pretty sweet.

 

Yes, I said I would be doing that next along with detailing the armor plates. The 'locks shouldn't be too hard, it's just the lined plates I'm worried about. Thanks for the rep.

Kororizon: I would indeed like my model to look good, though I do hope it looks good because the model is well done, and not only rely on crazy good painting skills.

Glad to know someone is following Rodian.

 

Are you looking to do something along the lines of this?

This is Joe Orteza's Striking Scorpion Wraithlord.

 

No pressure though. 8)

 

Wow this is a good idea, and I agree with Succinct. This definitely is something I'll be watching.

 

Looks cool, though I think the legs might need to be splayed apart more to fit the pose. Hopefully when you armour it up it wont look like it has child bearing hips.

Will discuss more on le box du x.

 

Yes, perhaps they do need to be more spread out. The hip and ankle joints are not glued so I shall play around with them until I find the right position. I'm not sure how I'm going to add armor plates. I am hoping that GSing the horizontal waves might make it look fatter when painted.

 

It has knees! It is now a functioning member of eldar society. I also started putting the waves on the shin armor.

I also decided to make the head plated. I'm not sure how well the picture came out, but it should look better next update time when I've had time to sand it smooth and use a brighter light. I have the support frame for the dreadlocks lying around somewhere, so I should have that thoroughly started by next update as well.

Questions, comments, suggestions, and degradations please as always.

 

Well i think you making a good start to making a scorpion wraith lord, im going to be watching this striking scorpions are my fav aspect

 

Good to know I have a follower Jim who is Happy.

Started the dreads, though it will take a while to fully bulk them out. once I get the bottom half done I'll add a hair-tie and then connect the 'locks to the back of the head. Tonight I believe I shall clean up the knees and add a few details to the legs and shoulders.

 

You call that an update? Bah, BAH I say!


I think the Wraithlord looks pretty sexy so far. I shall be watching this closely. Very closely. Yeees....

 

Damnit Camel! What have we said about stalking members of LO? Last warning! *mutter*


Great looking wraithlord so far, the head looks really good with the layered armoured plates. Nice work! What weapons were you looking at giving him?

Kuffy

 

Survey says... Wraithsword, shuriken cannon, and mandiblaster flamers.

My progress will be measured in millimeters. At least I provide pictures to entertain the children.

The camera seems to dislike flat surfaces. The band on the leg is flat with squared edges, and the shoulder lines are round and smooth.

Not pictured: I covered up the current face grille. I can't seem to get the lines symmetrical. Perhaps I'll just carve them out?

At least someone thinks of the children. Unlike Kuffy. Well he "entertains" the children, but more in a totally not cool-way.

They look fine to me. Keep it up!

 

Oh shiny! Looks like you've got a great plan going on here and it's coming along nicely. Will be looking forward to how the dreadlocks turn out as I feel they'll really bring out the striking scorpion feel of the 'lord. Keep us updated, I reckon this'll look rather awesome when it's done =).

 

Looking very lice so far. There are a few rather nice scorpion wraithlords out there to take inspiration form, including that lovely Golden Demon winning crouching one

 

I think this is good. Striking scorpion Wraithlords do seem to be the way to go. Reppy for you.

I think that the head is good with the plates like Karandras, except for the front part. It seems a bit too mushy or organic looking and I'm not sure what it is meant to have in relation to Striking Scorpions. I think dig it out and re-do it or replace it with a new feature like an insecty dome. Your work on the sword is good.

 

By front part, do you mean the face mask that's on every striking scorpion? I need to just remake the grills on that and perhaps add soulstone eyes.

 

Well I've hit a slight snag. I was enjoying some cookies dunked in milk, when a bump of the table caused something to fall into the glass. After much searching, I found the GS Dreadlocks at the bottom of the glass. That has been cleaned, but for the life of me I can't find the head. I'm pretty positive I didn't drink it, but the bump sent it flying in some unknown direction. Hopefully I find it soon.

If I can't find it, I guess I'll just get a head start on making the revenant titan.

Yum, cookies. I like cookies.

Pretty positive, but not 100% positive. You may be in for some interesting times in your lower areas.

This happens to me sometimes, and I hate it when that happens, something jumps off the table and vanishes. You search and search in every possible place according to the natural laws of the universe the thing could of gone but it is nowhere to be found! Check what you were sitting on, I've found bits that have gone walkies in my chair more than once.:j

 

Ah good old missing parts after knocking. I've lost many a mini or component after my cats have knocked it flying from my table after jumping up there to see me. Hope you find it though, you had a pretty nice sculpt going on there and I don't think a headless Wraithlord would be particularly useful on the battleground .

But hey, at least you have cookies!

 

Good times! I found the head (hidden in a piled up poncho), and I also found me good exacto. Glad I found that second one too, otherwise I would have been quite unhappy come next winter when I put that boot on.

----edit-----

and the cookies were made of elderly ass. They were too dry, dissolved in milk if left in for more than 10 seconds, and had little to no taste.

Proper Eldar food then. No pleasure for you!

Now, ge to work! I want pictures.

 

VEry Nice looking Wraithlord. I am subscribing to this!

If it turns out anything like the GD winning one (It looks parallel in terms of awesomeness so far), i tip my hat to you sir.
