A Wave Serpent completes a 1200-point Ulthwe army. The post discusses the army’s progress, future plans, and includes photography and tips for taking army pictures.

How do you motivate yourself to paint a model that is not very good in the game but you really, really want to add one to your collection? Today, I answer that as I share with you my finished Hemlock Wraithfighter, a gorgeous model that is rubbish in the current game of Warhammer 40,000.

Imagine the scene, you’re 13 and you’ve just got your first White Dwarf magazine and you flick through the pages and you’re greeted with bright green battlefields and painted models in all the colours. It captures your imagination and you immediately want to be a part of it, you want to learn more… then you see it… the Eldar Ulthwe Dreadnought. Tall and slender armed with huge crushing fists and shoulder mounted plasma cannon. You’re blown away by how freaking cool it is. Well, that was me 31 years ago and it had such an impact on me that I decided to channel it’s awesomeness into my Aeldari Wraithlord. I’ll share more pictures and my painting guide in this article.

The original ghosts in a shell stride onto the blog today. Locked within their spirit stones and inserted into Wraith construct frames, the souls of long lost Asuryani go to war once more armed with devastating warp based weaponry. I’ll share my take on these tireless warriors with stunning photography as well as advice on assembling and painting them.

Bit of a strange one on the blog today, I thought I’d talk about designing an atmospheric photo. if you’ve seen any of my posts on this website, you’d have noticed photographs that wouldn’t look out of place in an official publication. Occasionally, Games Workshop actually asks me to submit these photos for inclusion in White Dwarf or Warhammer Community. Let’s have a look at how I make this happen. There’s also a bonus tutorial on painting Sekhetar Robots at the end.

Why have I bought and painted a Wave Serpent and added it to my army before I even know what I’m going to put into it? We’ll find that out and chat about my 1000pt list in today’s post. I’ll also share my recipe card painting guide for this Ulthwe Craftworld scheme.
