Dark Wraithlord

evening guys,

just started on this, its more of a concept then a completed idea. i want to go back to 1st/2nd ed eldar with this peice, make it look more space pirate/renegade/dark eldar (maybe even twisted harliquin) basic concept is that he is stepping down a river to challenge some one (or somethin) he will be standing on rocks at the edge of a waterfall with the water pouring over the edge of the base (he will be mouted on a tall wooden base) he will have a anime/samurai feel to him with pre heresy esque tassles on his shoulder pad(s), just trying to find a nice and secure way to attach them, the brass points on his shoulder represent where ill have some curved spikes their with impaled heads on (not sure if i should do them blade like, do them like chaos horns spouting out the armour, or nice slender wraithbone horns) not entirely 100% on the wings, i dont want to give the impression he can fly, their more for ormentation, like banners and originally i wanted to do lots of really long ribbons flapping in the wind, but am strugglin to find a place to put them on the lord

any input u guys have got will be great

Nice start, the addition of the wings gives it a much better look imo.

now, I am not that fond of eldar, but this is looking really good mate!

not to keen on eldar either but this one looks promissing... and the big ones like this just craves some free-hand

small update, ill hopefully be updating this quite regularly.

trying out a possible technique for the horn/spike, i think its lookin good and ill def be using milliput to make the final thing. the joints are GSd up and are lookin good and i have made a start on the tassles, basic idea is their but am working on some proper shiny gems/jewels things to make it more regal, will be press molding them so i can make em all identical. order some clear resin, hopefully be here 2morro, this is prob the base ill be goin for (p6)

I am not a big fan of Eldar either. But this mini looks very promising. I love the pose, and the wings too. Having seen your harlenquin wraithlord i think this one will be awesome aswell
