Just had to ruin it, didn't you?

Sorry corey he will look cool then he must face my dread in a mono eh mono match...

Is the Wraith Lord metal or plastic?

If it's plastic, they're discussing a hot salt method for "adjusting" model poses on BoLS. Basically you heat up a container of salt, stick your plastic mini in, wait till pliable, remove and reposition arm/leg/whatever, dunk in cold water to reset mini, salt disolves away, *magic*

I'm not sure if it will work on a model of that size though, but then again Eldar are kind of spindly.

Only problem with heating and bending the model is that you are not creating a different pose just bending another one to something close. It will look like and bent model most likely. Cutting repositioning, green stuff and patience are your alllies in this endeavour.

I concur. Bending is good for tails, tentacles, hair, capes, and other such.

For something hard, like a wraithlord, saw through all the joint and reassemble in desired form.

I've found that you can combine bending and cutting to get a good effect. It doesn't have to be all of one or the other.

That having been said, I sawed right through the knee. I knew from the outset there was no way I'd be able to "subtly" make the joint work.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Wraithlord. So, he will be able to hide behind more terrain then?

I would do what crc said: cut every joint and then put pins in all the various parts and then glue them together. Then pose him, and then put the gs in all the joints, voila!

Also, you will have to put a joint in his stomach to do that pose.
