POSING ELDAR
WALKERS
With the release of the new plastic Wraithlord and War Walker kits, Ty Finocchiaro and John Shaffer look at different ways of posing the miniatures, creating dramatic poses and awesome centrepieces for your Eldar armies.
Ty Finocchiaro: An Eldar army almost always contains at least one Wraithlord. They're the obvious choice for the army's centrepiece. The mighty Wraithlord is just too cool not to take – in terms of both stats and looks. War Walkers have also been a popular choice amongst Eldar players looking for some heavy-hitting weaponry. Now, with the Wraithlord and War Walker both in plastic form, foes of the Eldar will more than likely be facing more of these deadly models than they'd care to.
Seeing as these new models are completely plastic, and each component totally separate from one another, the avid modeller within you may be jumping up and down with glee right now. The range of possibilities for posing these graceful machines is pretty vast. To help out, this article is here to inspire you and show you how it can be done.
This article is broken down into three sections. First up is Simple Poses. These pages show the versatility of the War Walker sprues without converting a single thing. Smart assembly is all that's required.
The second section deals with how one might go about cutting into precious Wraithlord limb bits and reconnecting them for action-oriented poses – all without ruining your lovely miniatures.
Finally, we have three converted Wraithlords which display some unique dynamic poses. Remember, this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what you can do with these great plastic kits. Check out all the examples and tips featured here – then dig into your own models at home.
