Thanks FoxHybrid. Yeah, it's a well-known phenomenon that human brains see anything "too small" as cute, even if they are tanks or other machines of death and destruction

Yep, the killer robots do look kinda cute. Great level of detail on such tiny minis, especially the tiny tech priests. The revenants are developing very nicely too, what are your plans for colour scheme?

Cheers, it's always a good way to spend inordinate amounts of time fretting over
There's not too much material to go on with the Revenants, really. This is the only canonical picture I've come across:
Very utilitarian storm gray, spattered with gore and what's described as "charnel imagery". Where later Blood Angels come to be known for their sublime artistry and decor, the Revenant Legion was pretty much the opposite. Stuff comes out of the factory, gets slapped with a few tactical rattle-can markings and the rest is basically madman's scribbles between operations when individual lunatics might decide to liven up their gear a bit.
I've primed them brown and zenithaled some light grey on top, gonna test out a rougher transition between the lit up parts and deep shadows this time. The faces and blonde curls they're sporting must jump out amidst the lighter but blood-strewn plates, radiating warmth like the sun breaking stormy clouds. We'll see if that succeeds.

Beautiful in-game shots. Go the lone guardsman!
How briliant to have a game with mates with well painted minis on well painted terrain. Life is good, Sherrypie. Thanks for sharing!
PS - colour scheme on those Kroot is gorgeous, well done to your friend.

Wow! Those club shots are amazing! Is the background picture post processing or do you have a giant backdrop sheet?
The Revenants sound awesome, proper grimdark . Can’t wait to see their blood splattered and graffitied primer!

Thanks gobert. Background's added in post, when I remove all the butts and backbags you'd usually have cluttering gaming pictures. Also removed a bunch of layabout dice and stuff. It's a bit of extra work, but gives the end result just that nice little extra touch of atmosphere.
The Revenants are starting to get a few licks of paint on them:
The scheme as it stands is a bit on the Space Wolf side, but we'll see how that develops as details get added.

What an amazing squad, so many sweet details going on with each model, so many throwbacks to the high chaos (lower case) of RT times. The extreme contrast between the angelic heads and blood-soaked, filthy bodies is of course a delight. They're a bit over-weathered for my personal tastes but I can appreciate the effect and down-in-the-muck ethos.
Also props on one of the most effective dynamic decapitations I've seen

Ta, the best part of these small projects is to play up those unique and individualistic details on each model
The weathering is a bit overt, yeah, but in its context it's still somewhat subdued compared to the absolutely bonkers gore-showers that many of their engagements seem to be described as in the background materials. Like, strategically the Revenant Legion was just sent somewhere for X years in hopes that they keep the local muties and raiders at bay while tactically they often went with the tunnel-rat style of diving into a hole, butchering everything and appearing days later soaked head to toe in blood from the other end of the tunnels. These fellas would probably sport a mean corpse-paint if their pretty features weren't a thing already

They turned out amazing! The excessive blood soakings are really well done, the chainsaws certainly seem to have been put to good use

Cheers gobert, they sure have been whirring happily on the wastes.
We started testing out the KT SpecOps campaign rules, combined with the area control shenanigans from Ashes of Faith. One week and a bunch of games later, the desert-trapped shrine city of Everflame has seen its fair share of bloodshed as a local freedom fighter movement (Genecults) rises to defend the forgotten catacombs from roving technonomads (AdMech Hunter Clade) and cannibal angels stalk the streets in murderous raids (Intercessors).
A frantic threeway clash to cap it off.
While over all the locals managed to retain control of most territory along with hearts and minds, the Revenants took home every match proper and drunk enough kerosine in the final match to outscore their opponents combined with no permanent losses incurred during the battles. The first upgrade for my guys was naturally a med bay asset, for the IX rides immortal Good thing too, I'm always left with just 1-2 guys standing in a pile of broken enemies at the end of each game. Poor technonomads had a rougher time at it, constantly recycling damaged warriors into new warframes. Good fun, would chainsaw again.

Thanks gobert, fun's the name of the game 'ere
On the gaming front, my pal's recently minted Blood Angels stumbled into the wrong neighbourhood in today's ZoMo and got whacked hard by the inexorable XIV.
On the slow-going painting desk, a couple of brutish Kill Team M29 Thunder Legionaries have began their long march towards an actual paintjob.

Wow, thunder legionnaires looking super cool, loving the mix of sophisticated weapons and armour and bare feet exposed skin, really captures the vibe of ancient warrior become scavenging nomad.

Awesome mini-minis. Epic always looked like a cracking game, something about the towers they used in WD somehow grounded the scale really well. Seeing your pics reminds me so much of those
