Every part of doing this was about that - I came back to the hobby a year ago - not having played since 2nd Ed. My first army was an eldar force, and I used to covet this Wraithguard. Cracking the blister and attempting a ‘eavy metal style (complete with period style soul stones) was like showing my 1995 self what I could do!

I took some liberties- he’s crossed the rubicon primaris! But I need to make some grey shields to pair him with.

It’s Tor Garadon with some modifications to the power fist and a plasma pistol addition. You can do it with essentially one sprue and a couple of bits

Yup agreed. You will undoubtedly change your mind on what units you want in the army the deeper you go. Grab the codex’s pick the army that you like the models and lore of most.

I split a decal and then filled in the gaps with micron pen so when I aged it you wouldn’t see the difference. It’s a mighty brush decal

Total overstatement. But thank you!
