eldar wraithlord 4
striking scorpion exarch
For this Wraithlord, I wanted to try something more ambitious and a little different. I decided to convert the Wraithlord to look similar to my conversions of a Striking Scorpion Exarch armed with chainsabres; right down to matching the Exarch's pose. In games this could just count as a Wraithlord armed with a single wraithblade and twin shuriken catapults.date: 2010 - present (work-in-progress)
components: 1x Eldar Wraithlord kit, 1x additional wraithsword, 2x War Walker vanes, Green Stuff, brass rod, sheet styrene (various thicknesses), styrene tubing (various diameters), guitar wire, neodymium magnets (various sizes)

The usual Wraithlord neck, with its high collar piece, was replaced by this one, made from styrene tubing.
Thin strips of plasticard were used to model the chevrons.
These parts of the Wraithlord were made using two of the vanes that protrude from the rear of the War Walker kit.
I filed and sanded the ends of the War Walker vanes down to make these dome shapes.
This part of the mandiblaster was made from part of a Starcannon.
The nozzle of the mandiblaster is made from a filed-down Wraithlord flamer barrel.
Guitar wire was used for the corrugated cabling.
A single length of brass rod runs through each hilt to provide maximum strength.
Any detail that could be incorporated into the chainsabre design was left intact - everything else was removed.
