Wraithbints - (I Am) What I Am Not

Let's just work through this stupid idea. Oh wait, that applies to the day job too. Disillusionment and despair, questioning whether anything will work. Oh wait, ditto. Anyway, A DUMB IDEA GAINS TRACTION.

Yeah, we're still on the train of that dumb idea. I made it as far as kludging the back-branch-bit in to the back-fan-space before my heart started sinking. As mentioned last time, legs are a problem. I've also glued them on two bodies so far, so I might have to just put that part of the plan on the back burner for now.

But arms! We like doing stupid things with arms in these parts. So the muttering to myself started, and I off I compared. Revenant is just a no, way too short as expected, and even if I did like the arm that sword can fuck off. Too many holes. Dryad, while spindly, sort of has the elbow in the right spot. Hmm, the finders could be chopped off, but it needs to be clean. Hello again, not so old friend.

As always, saw does the job. The result is spindly, yes, but then again that appears to be how I roll. Slight jank on the left wrist, but the right one's solid. Probably need to go heavy with some pinning; oh no, how will I cope?

This is gruesome. This is getting stupid. But it was too stupid not to try. I don't think I'll try to hack the original shoulder pads off, but I think I can do something with the hacked off claw fingers. Makes it look a bit more feral I suppose.

I'll need to come back to the legs, though that's going to be a lot harder. Assuming I try to keep whole legs...

The metal Wraithguard that have been hanging out in my "pile of potential" since 1991 are finally finished. I had only painted five earlier, as they were really expensive to field in game terms, and these other three have just been waiting their turn for paint. The current rules allow for much bigger units, which pleases me since I can put everything on the table now. The paint scheme for the remainder is the same as the old but a little bit brighter. Yes, I still need to put their white decals on.

I also have a unit of the newer plastic Wraithblades in progress and I've noticed they are significantly larger than the old metal ones.

This nebula stuff on a wraithguard head tho, with a navy blue body. I've got a vision, and it costs 75 big ones. Stop me before I make bad financial decisions. (Second photo is from reddit: vapegodwolnir, and I love the jojos looking poses on his wraiths.)
