Reborn Kindred
10 points per model

When Kroot die, they are consumed by close family in order to pass on any acquired genetic traits onto future generations. Some Kroot are not fated to this end, however, as they die without family or were otherwise exiled in life from the community for one reason or another. These individuals become the Reborn- warriors reanimated by the shamanistic powers of the Elder Shapers. Given a new beginning within the Life Cycle, the Reborn take to battle to prove themselves to their kin.

Simple but effective, I like it.

Thanks guys, I wanted to find a way to utilize:

A) The Kroot skulls that come on the new Dark Eldar vehicles.
B) An idea I had about using the Kroot rifle stocks as hand weapons.

These models also gave me an opportunity to practice undead skin, which I haven't done before. I probably used too many steps, but I first primed the models black, and then drybrushed them scorched brown (using Vallejo terms). I then dipped the models in antique walnut polyshade, then painted over the skin with a mixture of dead flesh/ camo green/ codex grey. I then washed with a smoke ink to try and get a deceased flesh look.

The skin details (wounds, warpaint, mottling) were painted on after the dip, but before the skin was redone.

What colour are your live kroot?

The models are scorched brown with a beastial brown drybrush. The mottling on the forehead, back, and tailbone is scrufulous brown with a bone brown highlight, as are the quills on the head, forearms, and thighs.

For the undead versions, I painted the quills and mottling only dead flesh and relied on the washes to make everything appear dirtier and darker.
