Eldar Wraithguard Conversions - Insane Clown posse

Eldar Wraithguard

Life is busy. Started a new job last week (retraining as an engineer), coupled with a college course as part of it, all the homework it entails and a 2 month old baby taking up a large part of my evenings, so I am struggling a bit to find the time to do any hobby.
However I have been slowly working on painting a raider, and just have the crew to complete now, plus my wraith knight rescue job and conversion is under way. I will not be able to finish these off for a week or two (plus I have been distracted by dreadtober :) ) but I am really excited to get them inished and posted up for your feedback.
I managed to have a few games over the last weeks with my eldar allied contingent in use alongside the Dark Eldar, and have been pretty impressed with it, so I wanted to start building it up with the proper models (all converted of course :) ). I built these grotesque conversions quite a while ago, but I feel my Sslyth models fit that role much better, and with my new eldar brothers now in use I have re-purposed them as wraith guard (of course they can still be used as grotesques if needed, as my army is turning out to be quite flexible in that department. Ah the joys of converting your own stuff :D ). My plan is to use them as the wraith D flamer dudes, and have them rocking with a webway portal to get them into the thick of the action.

The conversions were inspired by mannekins (and clowns of course) and I wanted that gangly unnatural look to come across in the models themselves. I used alot of talos parts to make them suitably 'worked upon', as they of course have been corrupted by the insane haemonculi that serve my carnival. The hair do's, balloons and pom poms all help the feeling of bizarre creepery, and I really do feel they are a disturbing unit, that fit in nicely with my new eldar ally aesthetic. Painting wise I want them to fit in with my first talos (pic below), with the clown face projected within in each helmeted headmask and then go with the red base colour for the armour, with colours and patterns adding interest to each character.

What are your thoughts on how this eldar detachment is shaping up & what do you think of these conversions as wraith guard?
Chow for now
NafNaf out!
