The thing, to make a solid uber force of them you need 10. 10! At 15 dollars a pop! And they aren't pretty models or even cool looking. Ugh..Galatea want plastix.

Yeah, but a Termie is one thing. The GK are full of some awesome detail and a wonderful design mold. The difference is this And this

Price-wise they actually aren't the biggest rip offs as Blood Knights are far more expensive (a single knight costs 17.50€ a single Wraithguard only costs 12.50€, and a box of 5 Blood Knights costs 80€! that is as much as a complete Battleforce! and honestly their minis suck big time...) Sure Wraithguard are a sad view but by far not the biggest rip-offs

I agree on the Grey knights Issue, sure they cost a lot but as an IG player i only have to have a squad of GKs in power armour to act as a bullet magnet. But GOD are the GK models beautiful! You really do feel like you've got your money's worth with GKs ;D

Lol, Galatea. Did you take those pics? That wins the Infomercial Before/After Picture Award. The GK is a good shot in every way, and the wraithguard is bad in every way However, I agree with you, and can vouch that the two sculpts are worlds apart. GW doesn't do stuff like the GKs anymore, unfortunately... some things come close, but... And Knight, blood knights are a significant size, are they pewter? Necron wraiths are kinda small, and used to be more expensive than blood knights. Now they're the same price. I bought one, and have been trying to figure out how to make more by converting for almost a year...

I agree with Knight on this one, there are many worse rip-offs out there from GW's model range. And Knight, blood knights are a significant size, are they pewter? Necron wraiths are kinda small, and used to be more expensive than blood knights. Now they're the same price. I bought one, and have been trying to figure out how to make more by converting for almost a year... Blood Knights are pewter, and look really silly, except (in my opinion) the Kastellan. As for the Wraiths, you consider using the Destroyer's spine? It might work...maybe...

wraithguard look like retarded wraithlord midgets...
but wraithlords are pretty awesome! just be prepared to bust out the hobby knife if you want to pose them like they do in the magazines...otherwise they look a bit stiff.

a new squad is always more helpful...
but buy Stern if you really like the model and think he might be useful.

Gotta say the extra squad. Stern is best when supported by some GK's, and I don't know if you have any.

I just buckled down and bought 6 of these little buggers before finding a 20% discount is unheard of..
It may well be the most painful 40k purchase I have ever made..

wow, yeah I hope the enjoyment you get out of them is all worth it.
the biggest hit in the wallet I've taken for a unit was my tyranid gargoyles...and at least you get two of those per blister.

*drowns the Envoy and Elegaic so they'll stop using logic* Wraith guard suck! Don't you know? I don't eat. Or sleep. And I rarely breathe. I can't be killed that easily... And wraithguard can only be taken as troops in squads of ten. They are the autistic kids at a school field trip. No offense to anyone, but that is an accurate description of both their rules, and appearance having been on a field trip in school w/ an autistic girl in kindergarten. Purely an objective viewpoint. /cry They better kill...like...30 Marines a game! And..And 2 tanks! And the enemies HQ! And claim an objective! Yeah...*grumble* And if you do take them as troops, and support them well, they have the capacity to do all that. They then become autistic savants.
