The Crimson Hunter /Hemlock Wraithfighter - Kinda



I have always wanted a Eldar Flyer, especially the Eldar Phoenix.  Unfortunately like most gamers, I am on a budget and $ (US)+ shipping is a little out of my league.  Maybe someday I will be able to add an actual Phoenix to my army, but until then I will make due with the Wraithfigher.... Kinda.

So taking courage from Andrew Hicks Eldar Conversions (awesome work)!

I am attempting to turn the hunter / wraithfighter into generic eldar flyer with common elements of all the eldar flyers. I am not sure how this will turnout,  it won't really be cannon, however thinking it will be fun and unique.. It could be an abomination.

I intend to keep the fuselage of the hunter/wraithfighter, but the fins, wings and armaments should be resemble the different type of eldar flyers.  However the over  exaggerated fins of the hunter won't be used.. I am thinking the fins of the nightwing, phoenix, vampire or phoenix bomber are more like the eldar.

Also the weapon armaments should reflect the appropriate models.
Phoenix:
* twin-linked Shuriken Catapults
* twin-linked Missile pods
* pulse laser

Nightwing:
* twin-linked Shuriken Catapults
* twin-linked brightlances

Crimson Hunter:
* twin-linked brightlances
* pulse laser

Hemlock Wraithfighter:
* two heavy d-scythes
* Mindshock Pod
