International Scale Modeller

Soo, this is the smaller version of a grail kit of mine and a build i have been looking forward to, the eldar wraith knight, this wraithbone construct bestrides the battlefields of the war torn 41st millenium crewed by a single living eldar along side the spirit stones containing the souls of dead eldar, psychically linked this crew gives a far more efficient and agile war machine than the clunky and crude imperial patterns. Capable of carrying anti titan weaponry with a back up of anti personnel secondary armament this construct fulfills the will of the farseer commanding the eldar warhost and brings death to its enemies.
Ok enough over enthusiastic fluff, can you tell I'm a bit of a fanboy lol, here are the box and sprue shots, I'm looking to create a suitably carnage filled vignette utilising some rather unfortunate scout marine snipers in various states of disrepair. There will also be some interesting paints being utilised.

That looks awesome, good luck with the build

I love the elder wraith look forward to seeing it come together

nice kit! i popped into the glasgow GW store the other day and saw this in the displays looking awesome. always liked the Eldar.
G'luck with your build, looking forward to your take on it.

Great choice, Sharpie! How tall is that guy gonna be?

Great model. I've got one and they are a fun kit to put together, so have fun with it!

Thanks fellas, Seb, it won't be far short of a foot high i reckon, especially if i raise the sword upwards!

How about raise the sword with a few marines kababbed on it?

I'm excited to see what your paint plans are...

That was one of the plans, another will have been hit by a kin ooge laser weapon and another crushed under foot if i can manage it.

Having picture hosting issues at the moment so you may have to bear with me whilst i figure it out.
The various sub assemblies of the wraith knight ready for primer.

hope i have the pic issue sorted now, everything went together easily, primed with Ultimate black, main colour is createx iridescent blue, metallics are a mix of mr hobby, vallejo and citadel.

Dat sword, yo...

it's a bit large Jason, i have missed out a few bits but here it is assembled, still working on detail painting.
Not done anything special other than to put tamiya clear colours over bright aluminium to get a gem stone look.

and the victims are all done, basic base coat, wash and drybrush jobs, had to remove and pin the arm on the torso and saw, drill, file and hack the hole through the complete scout marine to facilitate impalement.

Is it me or is that gentleman's interior all painted, too?

Yep, just in case there is a gap twixt sword and torso. All done now, just waiting on some sun for outdoor pics to really show off the iridescence.
