minigun762 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 This idea just kinda hit me. What about taking a Wraithlord and turning it into a DP ? (Slaaneshi seems the most fitting) Seems like a thoroughly evil and mocking thing to do to the poor Eldar. Now sure about how to do Wings on it though.

The_Crippster Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 i like it. Griphon, Eagle or Tzeench wings if you're not gunna scratch build them. I always thought of slaanesh as liking feathers over scaly wings and the like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillin Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I personally always thought the WL was SUCH a ugly model. Giant head, stick figure arms and legs :P Looks like one of those bendy kids toys. That's just IMO of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWinds Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I agree with Chillin. With the exception of those few great painters who make the head piece into a work of art so amazing that you forget it has arms and legs. It looks like a decorative egg on pillars. But I guess a warmachine shouldn't look like a decorative egg on pillars either ;) . Like these. http://www.dakkadakka.com/s/i/at/2009/11/5...7991.jpg__thumb http://www.coolminiornot.com/index/whatm/GW/id/178118 http://www.coolminiornot.com/index/whatm/GW/id/100338 http://www.coolminiornot.com/index/whatm/GW/id/229578 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Huh, i can understand with the older metal wraithlord models, but i think the current one looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drudge Dreadnought Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 If you do this i would certainly suggest chaosifying it some. Add plenty of skulls and spikes and reinforced armor plating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autarch-Andrew Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 The Idea OF A corrupt farsser traping demonic sprits in wraith constructs seemed cool to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Payton Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Fluff Perspective A possesed wraithlord is plausible, provided the inhabitant spirit stone has either been removed or destroyed. Eldar do not fall to Chaos per se, because as soon as they give in to the Dark Powers, Slaanesh has a soul barbecue, and eats them up. Therefore, whilst they may fall, they cannot survive long enough to be noticeable. A daemon could in theory possess the shell of a Wraithlord. In fact, a Lucius-type screaming face on the sarcophagus would be very cool, as the daemon within tortures the soul-pilot for all eternity. On a similar note, I remember a similar thing in Codex: Chaos Daemons about a daemon that possessed a dormant-ish avatar: Heartslayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argon Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Gentlemen, you've just given my seriously Eldar-hating renegades the perfect excuse for using a Daemon Prince. On behalf of the Oblivion Knights, I thank you. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 On a similar note, I remember a similar thing in Codex: Chaos Daemons about a daemon that possessed a dormant-ish avatar: Heartslayer I think if you can justify taking over an Avatar which is literally a part of their fallen god, you could easily have a Wraithlord's shell taken over.

Hellios Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 On the fluffy side of eldar not falling, what about Ahra? Is he not a Khornate scorpion? I think he is the master of the Incubi but who knows... Some would describe all of the dark eldar as fallen. It's more that when the eldar lose their soul either from it being drained (?) which is why the Dark Eldar replenish their souls...(?, although people have different interpretations of this, if they are actually doing that or just trying to placate she who thirsts)... and spirit stones and the infinity circuit act as prisons for the cells of eldar... which the they find preferable to death (before the birth of slaanesh eldar were immortal, they could die but their souls would be reborn). Yer I don't get The possessing of the Avatar... it's like a daemon possessing a possessed... and if I'm honest I would think that a splinter of Khaine would still be more powerful than a some random daemon :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmlee Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 What about having it be a dreadnought, and the csm guys couldn't get the lances and stuff to work so they threw some dread weapons on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minigun762 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 What about having it be a dreadnought, and the csm guys couldn't get the lances and stuff to work so they threw some dread weapons on? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe that Wraithlords are equipped to handle a living, flesh/blood pilot in the same way as a Dreadnought is. Instead they contain the spirit of a fallen warrior, through his Spiritstone. So hotwiring a Wraithlord to hold a dying Marine seems unlikely whereas using a daemonic presence to replace/corrupt the host spirit is much more feasible.

jmlee Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Well, I didn't mean putting a marine in like a dread, but having maybe the soul inside corrupted somehow, maybe a deamon talks to the soul or something. Use the dreadnought rules if you don't have room for another hq. Or maybe have a daemon "spirit seer" that it sees and noone else can, so it follows the seers orders?

Zhukov Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I love the idea! Just do me a favour. Post a photo of an eldar players face when he sees what you have done! It should be priceless! Nah I as both an Eldar and Chaos player would like it actually :) Sounds like a nice idea to me. I own 2 wraithlords (the new ones) and love the models! So much that I'm buying another one to run 3 of them, but that on a sidenote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corpse. Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Warp Spider Jump Generator on a Wraithlord, since it no longer needs to fear being consumed by the warp by being a prince/princess of slaanesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
