eldar wraithsinger
My most ambitious Wraithlord conversion to date, the Wraithsinger represents a powerful Bonesinger that has been reborn in a Wraithlord's form. Since Eldar constructs are built from psychically reactive materials, I envisaged the Wraithlord taking on a new shape and form; adapting to the spirit inhabiting it. The original Bonesinger miniature looks very distinctive when compared to other Eldar and I wanted to replicate some of the unique features in the Bonesinger's design, whilst still retaining the obvious stylings that are typical of Wraith constructs.date: 2013 - 2020 (completed)
components: 1x Eldar Wraithlord kit, additional Wraithlord components, 2x Eldar War Walker feet, 1x Wave Serpent sensor, High Elf Lord on Dragon rocks, plasticard, styrene tubing, Green Stuff, White Milliput, brass rod

The shoulder pads were cut away from spare torsos from other Wraithlord kits.
These protruding spikes were made using Wraithlord arm blades.
The vanes of the psytronome shaper were made from another set of Wraithlord fins, with the longest shortened slightly and most of the gems removed.
This extended finger was removed from a different hand and carefully glued in place.
The forearm was filed down.
The arm was extended slightly at the wrist and upper arm and the gaps filled with white milliput.
These hoofed feet were originally from a War Walker.
The legs were extended using paperclips. I pinned each piece twice for extra rigidity.
The two tabards were bent into more natural, interesting shapes.
This runic design was sculpted using Green Stuff.
The bottom of each antler was made from plasticard, filed and shaped and supplemented with white milliput.
These gems were carefully cut away and then glued in new positions.
I created some ruined Eldar architecture using plasticard. The curved indentations were made using a pair of compasses and a needle file.
This small piece of plasticard will sit under the Wraithsinger's left foot and raise it up so that it doesn't appear to be sinking into the ground.
