Eldar Wraithknight wreckage 1

Using spare Wraithknight components from my bitz box, I decided to make a piece of themed scenery. Unlike my heavily converted Wraithknight and Skathach Wraithknight, this is a "standard" design from another craftworld, abandoned on the maiden world where the models from my craftworld, Miruaun, are deployed.

Date: 2026 - present (work-in-progress)
Components: various Eldar Wraithknight components, large oval base, plasticard, cork, styrene tubing, Brown Stuff, Green Stuff

1. An early concept, laying out the component pieces in rough positions on the base.

2. A close-up of the hierogram. I used a craft knife to alter the design to make it unique.

3. The torso Brown Stuff was used to fill in various gaps and joins.

4. On this side of the torso you can see where I have started to add damage using a craft knife.

5. The surrounding armour of the hierogram has had battle damage added.

6. The rear of the torso continues to take shape. Brown Stuff was used to model the area on the left where the warp vanes have been torn free.

7. Slightly different view of the ruined torso.

8. Using a hacksaw, I cut through the whole torso; this will allow it to lie flat on the ground as if partially submerged in the earth.

Short lengths of styrene rod were bent and glued into the shoulder joint to represent internal connections and artificial muscle fibres.

Pieces of cork were added as larger rocks.

9. The scenery piece starts to come together.

I modelled moss using Green Stuff.

Deep scratches were made using a craft knife and needle file.

10. Top-down view of the scenery.

11. Close-up of some of the mossy detail I added.

12. This area of moss complete covers the base of the warp vanes, which have been knocked out of position at different angles.

13. Close-up of the exposed shoulder joint.
