Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted Friday at 11:07 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 11:07 AM Guess who jumped to another project? Yeah... So anyway, I wanted to do my own version of the Warhammer+ Infinity's Lament because I think the eldar are frequently done dirty in the lore and a model of a spirit seer retrieving the soul of one of his fallen charges is pretty cool for GW to do. But I sure as hell ain't buying a year of WHTV or paying the eBay prices for one. My 3d printer is temporarily out of action but I'd been wanting to get back a traditional conversion lately anyway. I thought I may have to print the arms for the spirit seer, but when I was digging around in my eldar sprues I was reminded that I bought a box of Voidscarred corsairs and that took care of that. Oh, because I don't really play anymore I want all my figures to face the same way - usually to their left - so I'm going to be doing a mirrored version of the original. Since I was trying not to use my printer, I do have a plastic wraithlord but I didn't want to chop it up for this so I dusted off the Oyumaru to mold and cast some copies made with Apoxisculpt. Coincidentally, this makes the battle damage even easier to do than the normal plastic or resin 3d printed version. While the Apoxisculpt was still soft I scored the back piece and snapped it along that line, and also used a variety of tools to damage the head. With some plastic rod I made a smaller version of the vertebrae-like structure you can see inside the head of the official model. Also copied the back piece of the plastic torso and an arm, but didn't mind sacrificing one of the open hands for this. Early bluetac sketch looks pretty good IMO, bu now the real chopping and surgery begins. And apparently you can put less than half the total picture size since I last posted here, so here's the sketch pic.

Firedrake Cordova Posted Friday at 01:12 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:12 PM Looks like a great start - the damaged Wraith Lord head looks fantastic.
