Mostly, this is for a Shade. I absolutely dislike how Games Workshops model looks. Not only that, but its not on my priority list to get a real one or attempt to obtain another rare one.

Any of them can really work but I think certain look more like a 'shade' in my opinion.

Image

This is more of a cool wraith proxy. Nice just to see a different pose.

Image

This to me would be like a proxy of a wraith on foot or something. Id cut off his candlestick thing and maybe do something else. Maybe another sword.

Image

This will likely be my proxy for a shade. This has always been in my eyes, a shade. I played mage knight when I was a kid and this is similar to what it looked like. I think the size and the poses are great, and also tend to look perfect for the rules they have, putting fear into the enemy.

Image

Another shade Idea but I like the first one.

Image

These could be barrow wights, or wraiths.

Image

Def a barrow wight. Looks better than the GW imo.



So what do you guys think? 3 for the Shade?

Or if you have any suggestions lemme know.

I chose #3. They are all good, but seeing painted examples can trick the eye. I have a Reaper wraith from the dark Haven series, called Mirkilor the Wraith king (can fine on the reaper wraith search easy along with many others). I like this one particular because his flame blade and crown is much in the style of how the Witch King is described in the books. He is also the same scale as the LOTR ones. Reaper is usually a better priced metal mini as well.
Either way good luck picking proxies.

I like that shade model too.

And I recently bought the Wraith king model as well, the newer one with the bird is beautiful

Thats ok. I think wraiths should be taller than men especially in their non cloaked form. Scarier and more supernatural.

I'm also not such a big fan of GW's shade model, and also voted no. 3 as a shade replacement, although I have to say, no. 5 is an excellent choice for barrow wights. They look so spot on, in fact, that I think I'll grab some!

Thats what I'm saying. They look gorgeous. In fact #6 isn't half bad Imo.

Lol wow. That is a great price. I had that as part of my original like 15 choices.

Since Im not from the UK, if Im already going to pay shipping, I may as well just buy the other one lol.

LOTBR Reaper is a US company. The HQ is a close drive for myself, so shipping wouldn't be a problem
