While back GW had this on their site as a Matercraft Conversion. I got bored (and at the time had spare cash) and decided to try my hand at it. Click on the thumbnails to see larger views.

It's a very well-executed conversion and looks great BT. Except for the backwards feet - are they really supposed to be like that? Even if they are, I would be inclined to turn them 180.

No, that's not how they are supposed to go, but I put them that way because in mind, while not being aesthetically pleasing, made more sense for something so big to be able to fire from the kneeling position, comfortably and accurately.

Hmm... I agree, Its an awesome conversion, and would love to see it painted, but I didn't like the backwards feet.

I love the versatility of the plastic kits. The plastic wraithlord is amazing.

Yeah, me and paint not the best of friends. It takes me years sometimes to get a model half done. I can get pics later this week but so far he is primed black, and has a base coat of blue on the body with yellow highlights (i forget the name of the craftworld he is associated with but its the one that has a lot of pathfinders)

Alaitoc.

Looking forward to see it too. The rotated leg does look a bit fun, but works.
