They have so much wrath it permeates the very wraithbone from which they were wrought. :? Ok....I guess they are wrathful wraiths then.

Yeah...the axes are not very eldarish imo.

The flier, I think I will stick with converting the Dark Eldar flier with bits and bobs. That looks like a bird that just fell from the nest. I want a bird of prey! :D

Does anyone think the nose of the flier looks a little like a chcobo?

The raging wrathful wraiths are actually ok I reckon. I mean, ok, they're Wraithguard with axes, but that's fine by me. Banshee exarchs had axes, back in the day. The flier...is not terrible, but is just a bit too chunky and nose heavy for my liking. Looks like forge world will be getting my cash after all. I may get some o those Wrathguard for my corsairs, though. I could pirate em up with bandanas and suchlike. Might be cool...

Incidentally, why do they keep making new farseer models? There has to be, like, 10 of those things by now...

That has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever read from GW. It is so dumb, it is genius!

I like the WraithGuard.

The flyer is very average and plain. I do thing that the Dark Eldar one is MUCH better.

Now, I am no expert on Swoosh!!!, but it seems to me that the new Eldar flyer, 'The Plump Chicken' to use it's Imperial designation, is somewhat lacking in that area.

As for the Wraith things, I can't wait to read the fluff.

The Wraithguard and the Wraithknight wrathfully shot their wraithcannons at the Necron Wraiths who were wraithing across the battlefield using their wraithflight. However, due to the Wraith's wraithfields the wrathful wraithcannons could not wraith the Wraiths who wraithing wraith the wraith wraith Wraiths. Then the wraith-wraith wraith launched a wraither wraith which wraith wraith wraith wraith wraith wraith wraith.

It's Codex Blood blood blood blood blood Angels all over again.
