I do not like the idea of a necron warrior with ridiculous scapula implants that look like car doors. Not to mention, the thing is hovering off the ground on what seems to be a giant metal penis...
While I like the original fluff for wraiths, they got updated to be more along the lines of awesome. Wraiths are now less like warriors and more like bugs! (coming from tyranids, I very much enjoy this approach) Wraiths are the killing machines that tyranids should be. 3+ save with a 3+ invuln means no matter what you shoot me with, I'll always get muh 3+!
Now doesn't that look better? Big bad bugs eating peoples faces with steel teeth! I wanted to create wraiths that were terrifying, bug-like, and appeared to have the wispy nimbleness that is "Wraith flight". After rummaging through bits, I finally came up with a model that allowed for all of these things! All it required:
~1 Praetorian backplate (praetorians suck and ill never use them)
~1 necron warrior body
~ Ghost ark bits (you dont need the dead warriors on the model... its perfectly obvious as a ghost ark without them)
~ 4 hormagaunt scything talons (yay for tyranid bits!)
The result is a seemingly terrifying blend of machine and insectoid. I simply altered the tail bits for determining whip coils or particle casters.
Some of them still need their head crests. Let me know what you think of the color distributions, I'm still deciding what colors to paint what on them! All-in-all i'm incredibly happy with how these guys turned out :) so far, they're a unique take on wraiths. None like them on the interwebz yet!
