Hi folks,

As part of the last step before considering my Aeldarii army complete, I had last year identified a few of units I’d targeted including: Wraithguards, Dark Reapers and Ynnari Reaver jetbikes.

If the last two are still projects, the Wraithguards are now a reality.

The models were built with axes and shields. I feel that the look is better than the double katana swords which do not really fit with the idea I’ve made myself on how a wraith construct should move itself: slow, cumbersome and hitting as a sledge hammer.

The paint scheme could have been very simple, being the same as for my Wraithguard. Until I saw a so called “reversed” paint scheme on a Wraithlord: black body, red bulbhead and white details. I’ve be sold by this scheme.

Et voilà:

Of course there have been some misfits: I wanted a Saim-hann decal in knew pad before realizing that a white decal on a white knew pad was not the smartest idea. But I hadn’t check the decals before. Shifting then to red kneepads has not been approved by the reviewing committee (me, myself and I): my dark red has not been evaluated as bringinf enough contrast to cut the silhouette. So knee pads are still white and the decals were added on 2 tabards where they fit. Other constructs do not bear the cosmic serpent sigil. Not that critical…

Some close ups:

Now I have to focus on the next project. For Aeldarii and Ynnari I have added off-wish list 2 new Epic characters so far. They are primed and you will see more sooner (or latter). For the short listed units, maybe some future purchase will make them a reality. But I am lurking on Reapers for 6 years now and I have not make anything yet to move toward contractualization. Just to say the grade of priority it has.

See you.
