While on the topic of mechas, how cool would it be if there was a Warhammer 40k mecha game...

I imagine it would mostly be Eldar centric because Wraithknights and their lore is perfect for an anime-like mecha game (especially if we get to customize our pilots, because!!! Elves!!!!)

But you can easily include the Imperium (though the selection is limited) and you can definitely include the T'au, be it the Empire or the Farsight Enclaves (who are also perfect for the genre)

Also... Imagine if you could select Orks as a faction, because STOMPAZ!!! Plus, all the limitations, perks and hilarity that comes with Orks and how they work.

Chaos can get on the fun as well, Chaos Titans are still a thing after all.

Now I want a Warhammer 40k mecha game, damn it...

I needed a big distraction over the last few days. So I built a big lad.

THREE DOES WARHAMMER THE ONGOING SAGA NO ONE CARES ABOUT

OK so about people who know me know i don't paint much or often cause I have shaky hands and a bad shoulder. Think I've painted 40ish models over 10 years (some in a batch, my darling wyches).

Anyway I do try new things and watch videos to try improve each time I do a new model.

So back in 7th? 8th? I did a wraithknight for my dark eldar centric army for a ynnari combination. Was in my green, black, red and metallic colour scheme and had aether sails out the back as make shift wings (as incase it wanted to sail for a bit, obviously).

So i decided to try do up a second one 10 years later. Figured for this i could practice dry brushing.

So BEHOLD a drukhari themed (cult of strife specific) wraithknight.

Yes, it is dual wielding. Cut out the hand and replaced it with a left hand from the box.

I also did some modifications to the back with clay. So I figured I could use some raider/ravager parts and use the keel blade to replace the back parts. As well as little blades to the end of the bottom ones and on the arms.

Is it perfect? Nah.

But it is certainly an improvement of the original

Things were learned. It looks better than the original and I managed to try out new things.

All in all a promising and worthwhile adventure.

She's called malartaigh or mal for short.

I should probably think about assembling and painting that aeldari wraithknight ive had sitting around since 2013 and have been too terrified lazy to do

[xkeyon]

Each however know they can't do this task themselves as if the five couldn't handle the Space Wolves Chapter going in alone would be suicide thus allies who believe in their cause are a must. The Craftworlds have their own missions, the Harlequins follow their own God's will, Corsairs are mercenaries and no real unity, and the Drukhari just no. But the Exodites there are many a live to nature where Isha and Kurnos were most looked to, and thus the Five former Rangers now Arrow-Holders travel to world where Exodites live looking for volunteers to join their cause. This could range from a single member joining with them learning now the skills the Arrow-Holder has gained to a planet's King committing their world to the cause. 

Now the lore has been established, and different story paths to follow what will be the forces the Exodites bring. (I'm going to include an already being used model from different armies to get an idea on stats, role, model size, and points)

Baseline: Exodite Long/short Armed Sentinels a simple watch force of militia that protected the villages until more elite forces came Long Armed focused on long range combat using Shuriken riffles and Snipers (Look to Guardian Defenders replace Heavy Weapons platform with Sniper)/Short Armed used Axe weapons and Shuriken Pistols (Look to Storm Guardians replace Heavy Weapons platform with a greater meele weapon user some kind of pike). Would be allowed for Kill Team.

Non-Baseline & Non-Special Characters, the bits that make when making your army it can be broken into 3 groups. Dragon Knights: Miltia that have proven themselves can be brought up as a Knight and ride the mighty beasts into battle. Megadon Riders: Groups of a basic hard hitting fast attack. (Thunderwolf Cavalry) Megasaur Rider: Once a rider's Megadon has grown enough through battle it is classified as a Megasaur and as that has grown the Knight has earned experienced to be a Lord. Can Lead Megadon Riders. (World Eaters Lord on Juggernaut) ---The model can be built in 2 other ways other then Megasaur Rider. This is Venomsaur Rider, where is a Lord's mount is killed they can choose to tame a different one some that have adapted in other ways in the wilds with the closest to the basic Megasaur being one that has developed a burning liquid giving the means to melt through heavy armours. Can Lead Megadon Riders but also attach to a group with a leader (More points then the World Eaters Lord of Juggernaut but still like that) ----The other is a Special Character will talk about them there. Wraith Army: A large grouping of old and some new Wraith Bone types of units have come forward from the Exodites. Worldsinger: A psyker that specializes in Wraithbone they are more advanced then the likes of Bonesingers. Can lead Wraithborgs. (a mix of Tech-Priest Enginseers and Spiritseers) Wraithborgs: Some Exodites have chosen to replace limbs with wraithbone becoming more durable meele fighters (Eightbound) Wraithnoughts: Wraithborgs that have proven their skill can choose to grow the Wraithbone allowing it to cover more and gain additional aspects. (Brutalis Dreadnought) Wraithknight: um..... (see Wraithknight)

40K Exodite Army thought

So this will be made into multiple posts through reblog, I hit the limit.

So the thought of an Exodite Army and how GW could bring it to 40K has been on my mind for a bit, as they had something of one in EPIC but how about one for their breadwinner Warhammer 40,000.

I'm going to start off with lore on why and how the Exodites would be going around and doing stuff now as they have been in the story for a long time and unlike the Squats/Votann never had anything that took them out. I at least believe should have a good reason why they would maybe be on the attack as they were something a mix between Amish & Hippies for the Eldar so a good amount of them suddenly going 'I woke up and chose violence' would feel weird.

Lore: The story begins with an Eldar Ranger group they have been contacted by a Seerer about a vision of some lost small Webway gate. They travel to the location look around for clues that leads them to it, and it activates. They make the choice to enter inside it and find things that resemble the clues that lead them to the gate but they lead more into the Webway, and so follow them to a different gate which activates on their approach. When they exit it they enter a pretty large building that could be best described as a lodge, with trophies, a weapon rack, even a nice kennel for hunting animals. The world itself is a savage ice world with great beasts that takes great skill to fight off, when the Rangers return back to the lodge they see some writing and realize this was a place known as Kurnos Quiver, a place where the Eldar's Hunting God stayed sometimes away from others even his love Isha, just him and his hunting dogs. It is believed though before their God's realm was sealed off from the universe he had a arrows made that contains some of his power. The Rangers go then to find these arrows when they do come across them the arrows are actually different weapons & tools a hunter would use each with an imprint of how Kurnos would use them, (think of them like the Sword of Khaine from WFB), with each Ranger taking one. However when they were taken up this sent a Psychic shockwave as they were sealed away with it getting the attention of beings with high enough psychic beings who live on the planet going to investigate with a group of warriors. As the Rangers begin to talk which leads to some arguments on what to do next they are attacked by this group, the Space Wolves. This world is Fenris, the Lodge was hidden all this time and the many deities they worshiped were the Hunting Dogs of Kurnos (yes I do know this reveal would/will make others angry). A fight breaks out but the Rangers now having become Demi-God like beings thanks to the arrows make short work of them, however they know that against the entire Chapter with just 5 of them would be suicide so they destroy the Lodge and seal the gate traveling with just the arrows they picked up. Once they have traveled back they get back into arguing on what they should do (the imprints on the arrows not controlling but influencing them to make the best use of it), with them splitting up to seek different goals. Bow: A hard light structure it seeks great beasts to shoot allowing one to choose between firing precise shots of impossible range, a volley to take out herds & flocks & swarms, and a giant hit that is made to fell titans. They travel to the west to Hunt the Tyranids. Leash and Harness: It brings to life a psionic beast to act as protector and keep others away having something deal with a specialist in long and close range at once. They seek the return of Fenris to the Eldar ready to bring the fight to the Space Wolves. Knife: More of a short sword this increased the Rangers strength and other physical traits to Primarch levels it has them to become the most like Kurnos. The return of the Eldar Pantheon is their goal and they go to join the Ynnari. Cloak: Protecting/resisting the holder body, mind and soul from the realms around them. The rescue of Isha is what drives them reading a mission to enter Nurgle's realm until then fight against the Death Guard and the Daemons connected to the God. ?????: A tool that is part torch, and compass it can open a small pocket demission that travels with allowing them to strike from another point that the pocket takes up. The idea to bring the war to Slaanesh herself is what they choose fighting against her Daemons, and mortal forces.

Harlequin Wraithknight, or Avatar of Cegorach.

Reblogging this as I once again am building a model and reminded of how much I hate using glue lol

[stars-obsession-pit]

In Warhammer 40k, if a pair of Eldar are born as twins, they will have an unusually strong psychic connection. And if one of them dies before the other, that connection remains. This then allows for the living twin to pilot a Wraithknight alongside the soul of their dead twin (contained within a spirit stone in the knight frame).

And in the show Danny Phantom, Danny is made a “half-ghost”—able to transform between human and ghost forms at will—by an accident with a portal to another dimension.

Furthermore, in the Danny Phantom - DC crossover space, a relatively common trope is for Danny to be a twin with Damian Wayne.

So. You can see the sort of similarity, right?

A machine piloted by a pair of twins, one dead, one living. A character who is half dead, half alive and is also often depicted as a twin (in a specific crossover situation).

I don’t have any specific solid story prompts from this (aside from just like the idea of “AU where those two characters are Eldar”), but my brain has started to rotate the idea of the connection regardless

[zespy]

Today I bring you an old finished mini for once instead of a WIP lol!

Eldar were the first ever miniatures I picked up, I remember I got the combat box on a whim solely because of the Wraithknight and how cool I thought it was.

I don’t really pick up Eldar anymore but they still have a soft spot in my heart. Thanks to them I painted my first ever miniature (which I still keep today) and also the first time I was proud of a miniature (what I am posting today).

Eldar Wraithknight

[celembrindal]

Craftworld Iyanden defended itself from an onslaught of Imperial Knights.

Was a blast of a game. The knights got first turn, but the Avatar of Khaine managed to withstand the firepower of the entire enemy force. From then, the melee of the wraithlords and Avatar captured the middle and the wraithknight destroyed the enemies large knights.

Love me a Monster Mash of a game.

MVP was a Wraithlord that tanked a volcano cannon shot.

Rogue Trader: Be careful out there, sir.

Knight Pilot: Don't you worry, my lady. I will come back for you.

Rogue Trader: Yes, you will.

Space Marine: You two done? Can we get back to killing xenos?

Picked up the game again after the Ecclesiarchy class released, I still chuckled at this mission because it's so random.

Sir pilot isn't even in my retinue, just a random dude I met on a random world during a randon mission, whom I occasionally hire for his heavy artillery on legs. And he just flirt with my RT in open vox-link out of the blue.

Though I will say that piloting the knight feels awful. I keep yelling at my keyboard, "Turn around! Turn around! The Wraithknight is right behind you! TURN AROUND!"

[whitefriartuck]

Restrained myself from preordering anything but the Aeldari codex until I get my shit together and paint the Jain Zar I've had assembled since whenever that new model came out.

I should probably try and do the Wraithknight too
