Cairn Wraith

[bailey03]

So I haven't played WFB in a while, but every so often I have the urge to paint up some of the figures. I saw the Vampire Counts Cairn Wraith and really liked the model. It's simple but conveys nice movement. I was also experimenting with creating more interesting bases for my figures. I started with the gaming base and then used layers of torn cork to build up the structure. By tearing the cork instead of cutting I also get a nice texture which I enhanced by gluing some sand here and there. In case anyone is interested, the cork actually came from Ikea (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/87077700/), cheap and nice and thick. After painting it I added some woodland scenics grass and some snow effects to finish it off. The ground is at a slight angle to mirror the movements in the cloak. I also angled the grass as if it were being blown by the wind. I hope you like the end result.

I also picked up the tomb banshee but haven't started on her yet. I'll be sure to post when I do.

This lok really nice and i like what you have done with the base and that you have added the wind effect on the grass. Look frward to seeing what you do with the banshee.

Nice and effective. I too was draw to your wind-blown grass. It just screams, "Icy gale howling across the heath".
