Many years ago I'd decided that 40K Eldar were a nice army to have and a fun army to paint, and my favourite flavour for background, army selection and colour was Iyanden, quite the hat trick. I'd bought odds and ends, but not a single Wraithguard - they were just too expensive as single metal models or metal sets; and when the plastics came out they were still too expensive - and still are. They are also the main flavour of the army, or probably were; but I'm beyond caring much about obsolescence, base sizes etc.
However I finally realised I'm not getting any younger, have too many models, and am reaching storage saturation - no, I'm way past that last one. I've spent around 15 years mulling over this and never doing much about it beyond buying a trio of wraithlords some months ago. This ridiculous little force is probably the one I've always wanted most, and never got around to buying. I'm guessing I'm not the only one here with such an itch.
I finally did something about it though
The front two ranks are metals; the rear ones are the newer and much larger plastics - roll over Primaris Space Marines, these lads are much bigger than the older models.
Lets see if I can get them painted in a shorter time than I waited!
