Wraithguard/blades Completed

Merry cornucopia day, 40kers.  May you enjoy the company of your family, friends, urban tribe, what have you.  Also may you not descend like locust upon a mecca of capitalism thus avoiding the furthering decay of time with loved one's in lieu of supporting some nameless face's bottom line.

Wraithguard/blades part 14

These guys are going to be done today.  Then to immediately start work on the next model.

Wraithguard/blades part 13

Completed painting armour plates on forearms.  Next is detail weapons.  Hopefully shouldn't take too long.

Wraithguard/blade part 12

These guys are coming to an end.  It is near now(ish).  Looking forward to the next model.

Love those magnets.  Couple pics of Wraithblades in mean poses.

Sorry for the blank post earlier.  Here are pics of latest work.

Love magnets.  Here's another pic of a mean Wraithblade pose.

Love working with Army Painter Mat Black.  Such a solid black with very little shine.

Wraithguard/blades part 9

Have a new plan for my painting schedule.  Going to see how it works out.

Finally line highlighting for part of the body is done.

Wraithguard/blades part 7

Didn't get nearly as much as I wanted done Sat.  Will have to work on my painting speed.

Wraithguard/blades part 6

Loving the time I've been able to put into Toni's army.  Had a great All Hallows Eve.  Spent some time online and then at the murder table.  Originally thought I would be able to paint all the plates and highlight them in one sitting.  Then it hit me.

Suddenly a lot of time has become available to me, plan on taking advantage of it.  Here are some work from Wed night.

Wraithguard/blades part 4 Not Enough Magnets GRRRRRRR!

Merry All Hallows Eve, 40k'ers.  Hope you have a sordid party planned this evening.  I'll be working on Toni's Eldar.

Wraithguard/blades part 3

Last weekend was great for working on models.  Quite pleased with the amount done.  After doing the spiritstones I believe it will be all down hill.  Think more than twenty spiritstones will be painted on each Wraithguard.

After cutting out almost all of the pieces for Wraithguard and Wraithblades it is time to magnetise them.

Yay!  New unit on the murder table.  Hopefully these guys fly.

Eldar Wraithguard round 2 completed

When Shawn handed these to me 29th Jan.  He asked if I could get them done by next months Tournament.  I said yeah that will be easy.  He then reminded me we have signed up for CON of the North's tournament Feb 17th.  Was a little panicked because each hour painting something else is one less hour painting my Grey Knights.  I refuse to play with an unpainted army.  Guess I'm a snob that way.

I appreciate how austere GW special order boxes are.

I've been "sneak" doing these guys.  Decided to put one hour a day into paint them while focusing the majourity of my time on my Grey Knights.  Instead of putting up little pics here and there I would make one post that goes from beginning to end.

Eldar Wraithguard

Shawn sent me an email asking if I could put his Craftworld symbol on the heads or loin clothes of his Wraithguard.  Told him because they were already matted it might be difficult but can try.

After painting I matted just the front of them again.

He wanted me to give them some variety.  Mixed up the orientation of his Craftworlds symbol.  Turned out pretty good.

Eldar Wraithguard Completed

This was a fun squad to paint til I started painting black.  More about that later.

Didn't think these guys would be so fun.  So far I am very wrong.
