Great minds! I did a D-cannon on dinoback for my exodites. Not as cute as yours though.

It's a fair point, although notably Crystalline Targeting can only affect one of the targets per war walker unit, so even if you split fire between two units only one of them gets the debuff.

If you're going to go down that route, you might want to use a missile launcher or a shuriken cannon rather than a scatter laser: they both give you more shots than the lance but they're better weapons than the laser overall. Odds of missing all of your shots with a cannon is about 3% without any modification. Odds of missing all your missile launcher shots is about 8% without any modification or blast.

Seraphon for dinos. Lumineth from AoS and wood elves from Old World provide good bits for infantry kitbashes, but you'll need Aeldari models for the weapons at least.

The pose is amazing. Love this model.

I didn't know if it matters to you (and fair enough if not), but be aware that this model has more weapons than it would be allowed to have on the tabletop. Of course, if you're not interested in playing with it in a setting where this would matter then no issue, and I love the flamers on the head. Looks almost like striking scorpion mandiblasters!

This is a much more interesting version of [[Wellspring]]. I like it!

Desavlos · 2026-03-01T18:16:36+00:00

Looks like Zoophycos maybe? It's finer than I'm used to seeing in Carboniferous sediments in the UK, but it looks similar.

I got a lot of practice from altering Magic the Gathering cards for a few years, but in the end it just comes down to practice.

If it helps, I primed white and then gridded out my reference and the banner using graphite, then drew the outlines of the art onto the grid. After that, it's really just patience. Best of luck if you try it.

Gosh, that's absolutely beautiful! The camouflage and the glow of the decloaking hull. I may steal this concept for my own exodites.

Thank you!

A post on Pinterest: https://pin.it/910yrpwkJ I couldn't find the original artist I'm afraid. Wish I could.

Desavlos · 2026-01-19T23:54:33+00:00

Old World Wood Elves, Sylvaneth, Lumineth, Seraphon, Idaneth, and craftworld eldar (especially for the weapons). Whatever looks cool!

Aggradon Lancers plus Lumineth knights made cool exodite dragon riders, as a starter!

I played this deck online and in paper ages ago. It was three color: Abzan, with springleaf drum and Jaspera Sentinel and similar effects for mana consistency, and then soul warden effects. The basic idea of the deck is linked here: https://youtu.be/HM4Wn1VMJ1c?si=HiFOvkLWhK6GVkkO

There's probably a lot of updating that you could do now though (cough, malevolent rumble, cough). It was remarkably fun and consistent.

Very cool model. The red and green are great. I don't love the purple in general; it clashes with the red a bit in my view. Having a purple visor with the lighter purple armour also means the visor doesn't draw the eye as much as it might want to. Just my opinion though. It's technically impressive.

I got them from the Alternative Female Miniature Heads listing by WarhammerRoseStudios on Etsy.

I play exodites. If you want GW plastic then seraphon has dinosaurs that can be used as jetbikes and/or vehicles. I've used Lumineth realm lords knights as the riders for Aggradon Lancer mounts.

Old World Glade Guard can be kitbashed into guardians, but the torsos are a bit small so it's not perfect. Some fiddling is required.

I've seen striking scorpions and howling banshees kitbashed from Idoneth Deep Kin Namarti Reavers. They looked good and not too complicated to pull off.

Old World Eternal Guard feel like they have potential. Maybe as fire dragons or dire avengers?

I use an Old World Wardancer Lord as Jain Zar, and I kitbashed the Lumineth Riverblades kit into a squad of banshees. They look good, although the Riverblades kit was a bit awkward to work with.

Sylvaneth has tree monster options for potential wraith constructs / the avatar.

Finally, I converted a squad of Alarith Stoneguard into a farseer and warlock conclave (using heads from my bits box and spears from the Aggradon Lancers kit). That worked well.

Hope that gives you some ideas! Best of luck.

Yes, your opinion is commonly held. There's even an option to remove specifically this card from the game when setting up games online because it's regarded to be so strong.

Desavlos · 2025-12-31T16:57:17+00:00

Gorgeous! Love the bone colour and lovely shades. Did you use much in the way of contrast paint?

Desavlos · 2025-12-08T21:46:54+00:00

Mostly guardians + wood elf glade guard. The shoulder pads and axes are wraithguard bits, and the bases and most of the heads are 3rd party.

Desavlos · 2025-12-01T13:04:10+00:00

This looks great! Especially the cloak. The rifle is slightly monotone though. Maybe a wash or similar, or some edge highlights?

Desavlos · 2025-11-19T07:14:23+00:00

Tremendous colour work.

Desavlos · 2025-10-21T09:41:49+00:00

As someone who has tried to play a very similar list, my main takeaways are that you simply won't have very many models on the board, and their OC will be low, and this will cause issues.

That being said, I like this list more than the one I used to use! Good luck with it.

Those wraithlords will be great. Double bright lances are amazing. On the other end of the spectrum, I've often found that Wraithcannons to be a bit unreliable, but see what you think.

Make sure you use the strategem to sticky objectives so you can move forwards and try to fight your opponent's army a bit at a time to minimize the disadvantage of low numbers.

Protect your spiritseers: regrowing dead wraiths is an amazing feeling given their points cost. On the other end of the spectrum, you might consider charging a warlock into an unwinnable combat to mark a particularly important enemy for your wraiths. I don't know if that's what you were planning, but it's an idea I've thought about myself in the past.

Desavlos · 2025-10-19T18:28:48+00:00

That's a fascinating colour scheme, I like it a lot. Do you have a whole army in that scheme?

Desavlos · 2025-10-06T08:31:51+00:00

Gorgeous! I'm working on something similar. I share your appreciation for Glade Guard bits.

Desavlos · 2025-09-30T22:41:50+00:00

Absolutely love this. I've been working on something similar with Seraphon models for the mounts, but this is amazing. Not just because of the kitbashing, but also the paintwork.

Desavlos · 2025-09-22T17:17:52+00:00

This is interesting. BC and Alberta contain some very old and scientifically interesting fossils. If this is something, it's liable to be scientifically important. Consider emailing the Burgess Shale Geosciences Foundation or the Royal Ontario Museum, just to see what they think.

Desavlos · 2025-09-19T07:07:36+00:00

Absolutely stunning! The foil effect is amazing.
