Yeah, that Wraith Engine is a strong contender for most unimaginative piece of resin ever. I am still baffled why anyone would think making a scaled-up helljack would be the coolest thing ever for a War Engine. The mini itself is allright as such, it is just that it is a mindless reiteration of existing Cryxian minis. And don't get me started on the "background" of the thing..

But I think you are a bit unfair in calling the Legion thingie bland (my interpretation of your words!). While I can't figure out if I like it, it's certainly not an unimaginative concept. I mean, it isn't basically a huge Carnivean with a tail instead of legs...
