Army List
I want this army to be close to the
Iyanden theme as possible: so I want to minimise the number of warm
bodies on the field. I'm not the deadliest of generals and see
no point in adding to the population shortage of the Iyanden
Craftworld.
I had originally worked out a list that was
entirely made up of ghosts – except for the wave serpent pilots and
the spiritseers. But thanks to the new Eldar codex (writing
November 2006) this list isn’t going to be possible, so I’ll have to
incorporate some warm bodies in there somewhere. More on that
later.

Basing
seemed to be one of the easy ways of adding some individuality to
the figures. I had an idea to reposition the heads and so used
miliput to make some figures appear as if they were stepping up onto
a mound, or stepping down, or aiming etc.
I did cut a few legs off – and make
them look like they were running, but didn’t really like the look of
sprinting wraithguard and so didn’t bother with more.
I also added some bits of debris –
because I wanted them to look like they were somewhere war-torn.
As far as colour schemes – I’m
thinking something that will contrast with the yellow and blue of
the figures. I've been captivated by the brilliance of
tropical fish ever since I learnt to scuba dive and have tried (unsucessfully)
to reproduce this in an armies colour scheme. But they do have
some interesting colour combinations, and I'm thinking of using
purple base with a green drybrush.
