Eldar Wraithlord - for fun, for a challenge, for sale
Earlier this year I felt I needed something different and challenging. So I started converting an eldar wraitlord. If you want to read more about the past of this small side project then check out either of these:
My Eldar Wraithlord-blog on Dakka, Warseer or Work in Progress.
Lots of research, sketches and early WIP photos to see where Im heading with it. Now I thought Id just show the last little progress made on the head. Needs to be smoothed out some more, the details of the face and then some. But Im getting there!

Female Noise Marines
My army will be a Slaaneshi Chaos army. One unit will be six female noise marines all armed with sonic blasters. Im almost done with two of them. Bases done. Conversion 90% done. Its mainly the custom bionic arms with built in blasters that needs to be finished as well as some other small stuff. C&C always appreciated!
I wanted to build small backpacks for them but havent figured out how I want them too look just yet. So that will wait. Anything else you feel is missing? Next two girls will have possessed marine legs *grin*. Some more wips of the pair above.

"The armor of a coke can"
It's about time I update my blog. I have been doing a few things that haven't appeared here yet so let the updating begin!
The other day I found a very inspirin site: Irondog Studios. Great conversions and paint jobs. And the main focus of the site is orks! Mek Shop, Tater Titan and Big Trukks. Great inspiring stuff!
Now had you asked me may/june this year (before I started with 40k) what I thought of orks Id have told you how much I disliked them. Now though, a few months down the road getting to know the 40k world Im slowly but surely falling in love with the orks :) I love to convert and this is a race with many new possibilities.
So here is the before picture. The only ork I own is the WD one seen above in the photo. Ive just cleaned it, drilled out the gun and removed the pony tail (dont like em!). The construction machine is a toy my wife gave me the other day. "It's broken, so why dont you take it and build something out of it". She is such a wonderful woman :D You can see something that looks like a seat from which our 3 year old has pulled the driver off as well as broken one of the pieces that hold the dumpster.
Now the orkifying begins. A few parts were removed since they looked to toy-like. And since I dont have a driver yet I started with the underside! I read on Ironsdogs site that "Ork vehicles have the armor of a coke can and tend to spend a lot of time as smoking wrecks on the battlefiled. I figured it would be best to have this 'often-seen' part of vehicle look nice too." So Ive followed his lead :P
It's still a WIP but its taking shape, and Im having so much fun. This is a really good way to get the creative juices flowing.
Now the question is, up or down? Im thinking down atm to give some room behind the dumpster for something and to give it more of a open maw look once more teeth etc has been added.
And any suggestions for guns? This will be just a small vehicle so nothing too heavy I suppose.
Comments and crit much appreciated!
