Ghostship

o/

As you can see I managed to get my Wraithship painted up this weekend. It was a really snug fit on the sails, so I wasn't really able to test fit them beforehand, and as such I think I got the proper position reversed. Then again, after a google search of images, the sail position on these seem to be split in about an even 50/50 in regards as to which sail goes in front of which. With the larger sail in back, it looks as though the sail position can't be moved past the bridge structure. However seeing as how during the age of sail, the mon'keigh were able to vary the shape of their ship's sails (to some extent), I'm sure it would be of little difficulty for the Eldar.

I painted this in the colors of my Exodites and gave it the same name, Spinifex. The Spinifex (now a Ghost Ship) is the last surviving vessel from the fleet that carried the Exodite refugees from the home worlds to their new maiden world home so many millennia ago. The ship's original crew still maintain their ghostly vigil from within their spirit stones. Silently guarding the maiden world for eternity.

Cool backstory. I got to get my Wolf fleet assembled so I can hunt your xeno-ass down! :)

True. And I've been hearing 'Come Sail Away' in my head since you posted this pic! :)
