Wraithlord

The Wraithlord was a labour of love. It has all options magnetised to enable Wendlepot to change her mind. Above you can see the same model set up as ranged and close combat options.

To add some detail the Wraithlord is standing on a dead Death Company Marine. This allows for his knee to be bent which was achieved by cutting, pinning and then greenstuffing the knee joint.

Both shoulder mounts were added originally to allow 1 weapon on either side as well as whatever was in his hands, sword or gun, but with the new Codex it's possible for a Wraithlord to have 2 heavy weapons and a sword which is possible with this setup.

The head is magnetised on to allow purely for poseability. I used 3 2mm magnets though larger, and closer together magnets may have been better.

The shoulders have double 2mm magnets recessed into them with a locating pin sticking out a few mm below. The arm sides of the join were hollowed out at the right angle to fit flush to the shoulders in position, with a 2mm magnet added and a hole for the locator pin to stop the arms drooping.

The arms are in pairs: a gun holding pair, which accepts magnetised heavy weapons, and sword holding pair, modeled on the Howling Banshee Exarch with Mirror Swords. The right sword arm needed bending so it was cut, pinned and greenstuffed together to get the pose, and similarly to add a right-handed sword to the left hand. If anyone kicks up a stink the left gun holding arm can be used with the right sword arm to have a single close combat weapon.

The wrist weapons have 2mm magnets in place of some of the tab/slot join. On the sword arms the vains are added and greenstuffed smooth on the side of the arms rather than the top, in keeping with the Howling Banshee Exarch or arm-mounted Force Fields.

The feet are magnetised to allow for easy storage and painting. The locator pins on the base make the model sturdy. I think I used 4mm magnets here.
