Description [::: Eldar Wraithlord Fanart :::]

I didnt spend 30 mins on this ... so ... i guess its a normal piccy.

Wraithlords are cool y0. For those of you who don't know (ie, most of you) its actually meant to about 15 ft tall (i'd guess)

Prolly took about an hour. Mainly cos its full A4.

Awesome picture!
Is A4 the pencil, or the paper used?

Ah, thank you!
Is it a good paper for sketching? I've noticed that lots of sketches I find on here are done on A4.

Yes, I find the damned HANDS the best feature Good job on the picture!

Well whatever is in front of that badass is about to die. Armor save? No thanks, I'm Monstrous. Invulnerable? Better pass it, or else I crush you inside your armor.

If you get into close combat with a Wraithlord you've already lost.

I love Wraithlords! Which is strange, coming from a Dark Eldar player..........I hate Wraithlords! They too hard! Splinter rifles just bounce off them, and splinter cannons don't even hit them! Time for my Dark Lances! Muahahahahahaahahah

I very like Eldar vehicle design, they are very elegant They looks like stylized samouraΓ― or something like taht And your work is perfectly render this elegance More than details the most interesting point of this picture is motion, the robot trully walks in your picture and i don't want to see my troops on its way
Great work man !!!!

That's damn accurate, even down to the marking on the front of the wraithbone carapace headpiece. Ever thought of doing warp spiders? They were criminally underrated.

That's good... i collected a whole army of eldar before i went onto Nurgle. Your opinion - is it possible that a group of Tau could be turned to the dark forces of chaos? Seeing as i don't play anymore, only paint, i would love that as a project.

Dickywebster In reply to Crocodile-Logic [2009-12-14 16:45:25 +0000 UTC]

There was the idea for a corrupt tau army a few years back, but it was stopped because it was too powerful

haha ... people seem to be have a soft spot for chaos. suckas!

I think Tau are too honourable for chaos. They remind of samurai - that they would sooner kill themselves than turn to the dark side! (cliche me do)

Crocodile-Logic In reply to martinhoulden [2004-07-28 18:09:59 +0000 UTC]

Exactly what i thought... which is annoying, becasue i would love to paint a corrupted Tau army... the models would work so well bloated and pustuled, or painfully thin and war-torn. And think of what you could do to the wonderful larger models... Anyway, chaos won me every battle i ever played with them. That's a pretty big win record, by the way. Do you know the general rules for Nurgle?

martinhoulden In reply to Crocodile-Logic [2004-07-28 18:17:44 +0000 UTC]

chaos are pretty much the only army that i'm mostly clueless on. Their designs are cool though ! and they seem to have most creativity put into them.

Personally i'm into cleanness and organisation, which is why i mostly like Tau and Eldar. I really like Tyranids ... but wouldnt collect them. I like em cos they remind me of ALIENS, especially genestealers i remember them from space crusade, haha. Imperial Guard are cool cos theyre plain old humans. Orks have ... lots of character, but i dont like fagot tactics (ie, winning simpy by being loads of em, haha) Space Marines are just liek ... way too cheaty, and everyone seems to do them (booooooooooring). Necrons are liek ... WTF hard. And Chaos ... hrm ... dont like the whole dark side vibe personally, so i've always stayed away from them. Hrm! Chaos seem to be one of those armies that i never actually meet people who play with them. Everyone seems to like them, but i get the general impression people cant be arsed/arnet creative enough to put the effort into the models, cos theyre pretty tough.

Oh yeah ... and i dont like dark elves. Again, cos of the dark side thing i guess, and also cos they seem a bit pathetic, they have liek ... hardly anything. Heh

I know what you mean about 1) Bloody Ork tactics! The one game i lost was against them, i just didn't have the numbers to match them. And it was one of those scenarios where i had all the heavy stuff, and the enemy had mostly infantry, but it was replaceable each turn. I was hopelessly outnumbered. Also 2) Necrons. Beautiful models, awful in practice. I don't understand. I will never understand.

I was always attracted to chaos because i could put time and effort into a more organic feel to the models... I liked something i could make my own, not just with different colours and poses, but with the whole body shape and size etc. It always scared the hell out of my opponents when i placed the army... especially the normal troops, with caved in heads, withered arms and demonic tongues coming out of their chestplates. The look on some peoples' faces... classic. Utterly classic. But i still really want to make a dark Tau army. What colours are/would yours be?

well, i have a unit of kroot and fire warriors, an ethereal, a couple of drones and a devilfish. So i have some stuff ! and theyre all painted in standard colours. When i collected eldar, i did them in my own colour scheme ... and the novelty soon wore off. I started the Tau when they were only a few months old, and i really liked the theme of unity. Also, in the codex, all the other colour schemes totally fucking suck XD the only one that looks good is the desert standard colour. so, !

i like the idea of representing the main host of Tau, heh

The Tau do have a good base colour for the mian army, it works well with the themes. Honour malarkey. I'm increasingly hooked n a chaos Tau idea... trying to find some way it would work... thinking along the lines of honour bonding... stuff.
