Whoa! More Canoptek Wraith Converions

Found these awesome guys over by Cvinton on Dark Future Games over the weekend, and though I would share.

Seems like a pretty easy conversion too. Kudos!


Take it away sir:
I picked up some Necrons a while back in a trade and finally got around to putting in work on them.

There are a lot of conversions out there but none I really liked so I’m putting my hat in the ring of wraith conversions on the net.

The idea was to be simple and made with bits I had just laying around.  Its a mix of what is in the book and ‘squids’ from The Matrix (with the greatest bestest most awesome actor ever Keanu Reeves…he’s so good at acting, all other actors should just quit).

The wire is 16 gauge electric fence wire that I had from when I was in high school and wanted to make chain mail.  That adventure nearly cost me an eye.  Luckily this one was a lot simpler and much less dangerous.

Below are the bits used.  The only thing not pictured is the back shoulders of the destroyer body that is glued above the “eye” of the finished models.   The bits are the cod piece from praetorians, 2 spines from the ghost ark, a bit from the doomsday cannon, the spine of a praetorian and the back bit of a praetorian.   All of these bits are easily extras just from putting stuff together.

The arms are made from plasticard.  I could have taken more time making them look better but I imagine and box set will be out for them and I’ll shelf these in memory of a pretty cool and easy kit bash.

Be sure to checkout Dark Future Games, as they have some really good stuff going on over there.
