Just a funky idea for some epic conversions: If the Wraithknight is really as posable as GW suggests (and, knowing the quality of their models, I don't doubt it), why not convert them to do various sports? Just some initial ideas:
-soccer (kicking whatever you like to kingdom come)
-basketball (dribbling a terminator maybe?)
-baseball
-golf
-fencing (works best in pairs)
-billard (maybe with one of the guns as a queue?)
-gymnastics (and paint it to wear a leotard? :D)
what else could you imagine the WK doing in its free time to stay in shape? :D

Rugby: punting a space marine dreadnought into touch.

Bench pressing a land raider, or perhaps doing bicep curls with Broadsides.
Possibly squatting a squiggoth.

What is this 'soccer'?
According to my probably faulty internet sources, this name was coined in England and stuck in places where other games called football already had an established following.
OT: I once converted an Avatar into a fencing-type stance because I didn't like the regular pose. It took a bit of time to carefully saw through all the pieces and rejoin them without messing up the detail. During a game at my FLGS he had just run some poor unit off the board when my opponent leaned over the table and accidentally knocked him onto the floor and into every piece. The remains are still in my bitz box until a new Young King steps forth to rouse the war god to life once more.
I vote for someone to convert a finishing move: both hands on the hilt and plunged down into a dreadnought toppled onto its back.

Soccer is a British term used to differentiate Association Football from the other major type of football-- Rugby football.

Not to be confused with FOOTBALL! which must be shouted at the top of your lungs in a southern American accent whilst hoisting at least (1) 12oz or greater alcoholic beverage.

Vis a vis the Squiggoth thing, sounds like the perfect mount for Polo. Orks for the ball and a and the arm off a rip tide for the mallet. Your likely to get the Orks going nuts on the side line watching, just like any normal day at a Milwall game.

To be fair, there are more teams that would be considered non-southern than southern, and many teams clustered in the Northeast among some of the top centers of population. Just sayin', Football is enjoyed by people all over the country with their alcoholic beverages.

I assume the accent is chosen thanks to "Are you ready for some football?"
