Looking good ESE, still not sign of the heads though? Crying or Very sad

They're 'robots', they don't need heads! They haven't even got eyes in them so it's not like they need them to see!

NO

The Wraithblades are quite good too. Even in a Wave Serpent the Blades are great for late game heroics and they scare the wits out of your opponent too.

I plan to find out soon in our upcoming Highlander league Twisted Evil

Looking good, as always ESE. You will enjoy them, I played a Wraith list in our recent Highlander tournie - Wraithseer, Wraithlord, Wraithknight, Wraithblades and Wraithguard, plus a Serpent and one or two other things. A good, old-fashioned beat down, wasn't fun. Couldn't even scratch his paint all game, really, but my dice let me down on an epic scale, too. I think at the end I had killed 3 'guard or 'blades, and a vehicle, while I was down to my Talos and my last two Mandrakes. Something like that.

Just paint little red dots for eyes on the neck sockets... LOL.

I actually think that would look nifty

You FOUND them! Woohoo!

Looking very tasty mate, they make me want to spend money I haven't got on some for myself!

Awesome!

That blue is so vibrant, love it!

Stop demonstrating that CWE can look good; I don't want to buy them!

No......bits from Ebay Mad

Done with my Wraithblades:

On to either a Wraithlord and Wraithknight, or Scorpions because they're just awesome.

Blimey that's a lot of wraithguard! And the new ones are noticeably taller than the old aren't they (sorry, that's probably only news to me - I don't have any of either at the moment)

Do scorpions, I'd love to see your take on them!

I do have a soft spot for the Juan Diaz ninja Scorpions. I like the old school vibe of the newest sculpts, but they seem so bulky and cumbersome compared to the super old school 2nd RT/2nd edition sculpts. Paint starts tonight once that primer dries Twisted Evil

What do you use for your "stone" pieces?
(i don't know if i've asked that before.....)

Super Sculpey, baked and cut to shape. The stuff is dynamite Twisted Evil

I have never, ever heard of that! Sounds like a lot of work to get some rocks?

Nope, just clay. Roll it flat, pop it in the oven, break it into little cool pieces.

Is it much cheaper than buying a sheet of slate and breaking that up?

Depends if you get the slate free through work... Laughing

I wouldn't even know where to get slate, although I'm probably just too lazy to look for it Razz

The Super Sculpey is really easy to work with and easy to drill/pin. You can press mold cool designs in too. Might try something Eldar-ish on the bases of my Wraithknight and Revenant if I get inspired.

Got some work in on the SCorpions tonight for the test models:

Still need to shade the recesses with some purple wash before I tackle the black and brass. I'm happy with it.

Garden centres will sell you a massive bag of slate for not very much, though it'll need washing before you use it.

I work in the planning department of my local council, so we often get slate samples sent to us when someone is building an extension or new house. They'd only go in the bin otherwise - the big advantage is they're already nice and flat.

Lucky, T_B_E! That's awesome. I had some weeds growing in my front yard which ripped up a piece of slate from the ground, so i've been using that!

I have to admit, I really like your style! Love the muted, but vibrant green (does that even make sense?)

Keep it up! Very Happy

I hope it makes sense, it's what I was going for! Twisted Evil
