Modeling question. I picked up a bunch of Eldar reaaally cheap, which is great! But, my new Wraithknight a. didn't come with a base and b. is modeled in a way that I'm not sure how to put him on a base when I pick it up.

The left leg fell off in transit and obviously I can still pop out and reposition the right as well, but I'm trying to figure out how to make it work as is. Not really sure how to balance him, as with the current stance and leg out he'd be on one leg no matter what.

Ideas?

It looks like it's sort of jumping away from something or landing from a jump? Maybe build a scenic base with a big rock type formation on it (possibly with an actual rock in it to create a counter weight) and put a hefty pin (basically like a 1/4" or larger rod) in the hill part of the base and his foot on the extended leg to keep it connected. And use some 2 part epoxy to get the foot solidly attached to the base. Also fix that floppy rear end Heavy Wraithcannon.

It is guaranteed to be lazy, ignorant, and/or uninformed.

I'm not a expert modeler but I'd say you put something up it's butt.

I am 100% down with putting something up his butt. My Iyanden have an iceworld theme going on, so if I used terrain it'd probably be big ice crystals or something.

Where would I get a riptide flight stand? The only ones I'm finding on ebay are normal drone flightstands, is there a special one for riptides or is that what you're referring to?

Better (but not great) pictures of the Imperial Knights I did for my friend:

All 3 have magnetized torsos for torso twist & transport

All the shooting weapons are magnetized as well

Did a lot on these, not 100% happy with everything on every model but at some point I had to call it finished.

Holy poo poo, this knight is gorgeous. Great job, man. Stupendous.

If Necrons were going to get Pylons, they probably would have gotten them with the last codex update. I don't get why people ever get/got excited about Pylons though. They look tremendously boring and aren't as cool as something like the Tomb Stalker or whatever.

A friend of mine occasionally runs the pylons from IA12 and they are horrifying, let me tell you. Many a Leman Russ has lost to their bullshit.

Alternatively a flight stand up his scrunt might be better support.

If your having trouble locating the scrunt then close your eyes and feel around a bit, you'll know when you feel it, it's unmistakeable, where as your eyes may deceive you!

Well it's rumoured Dark Eldar will get a LOW , or big "model". Orks got one, Space Wolves got one, Grey Knights didn't but they have the Imperial Knight.

Everyone has the Imperial Knight though.
"Your big model is... uh, gently caress it. Just settle with a model that every faction in the game can also have." -GW

DEldar will likely see Vect becoming a LoW (skimmer and all), and Necrons will probably have Beepboop the stormlord or whatever his name is on a fancy Command Barge.

The C'Tan w/ probably be moved to LOW and made beefier maybe, that's all I could see or the Tesseract Vault being a LOW.

They'll definitely change Tesla to what living lighting is. We'll see a increase in price of flyers probably.Any Characters that do not have models w/ be removed, which i don't think there are any of that ?

Any goons going to Mechanicon?

My guess is the DE LoW will be Vect, and the Dias of Destruction will be replaced by the expected hover chariot. Cue a plastic kit that makes Vect or a generic archon on the chariot.

Really though, the only thing I want from a new DE codex is to finally get a voidraven model.

The Venom is already the most appropriate-looking chariot platforms in all of 40k, it just didn't get chariot rules. It just needs to be pulled by something.

I almost totally agree. I just don't think it needs to be pulled by something. But if that something was some crazy monster, I'd be on board. :v:

Getting pulled by a Talos or one of the big roidrage Haemonculus beasts could work

Should be pulled by several unmanned jetbikes, strip off all the seats, controls and other things you don't need. Make that thing a drat podracer.

Ahh see that's where you're mistaken. It's the inner walls of the prophylactic device that contain the genestealer genetic material. This material infects and mutates the spermatozoa cells of the victim and allows it to, painfully, re enter the urethra and infect the host.

I played through it last year. It was sorta fun. It aged horribly and it wasn't that good a game to begin with, but its a serviceable enough FPS. I remember playing the PS2 demo over and over when it came out just because it was so novel to get down to eye level with the 40k universe. Space Marine surpassed that in every way, years later.

The problem with that thing (aside from being a giant chunk of fragile spikey resin) is that it's really nothing more than a jumbo raider.
