Eyy, finished a one-off project for Kill Team as well. This is ruleswise a counts-as Thousand Sons Warpcoven for Kill Team 21, but aesthetically a test in mashing something Unification Wars themed from my bitz box.

Rise, horrors of the Old Night! Death to the False Emperor, for Terra belongs to the proper philosopher kings!

Whole gang, vibin':



The Three Kings, psionic gene-engineered horrors from the various domains of the Ursh, who were known to utilize various groups of warrior-psychics and mages in their ranks:

















Particularily happy with the psi-sword of the last fella.

Dancer of the Apocalypse:






Champion of the Lost, a brave and deranged warrior who has slain a Null Maiden of the Thunder Legions at the behest of her sorcerous masters and taken their gear as trophies:







Pew-Pew XIII, a mind-wiped servitor worth less than the guns it bears:





Atomic Blyat, hero of the new order (at least in their own head):





Icon of Sin:




I'm very happy with how they tuned out, as well as always loving working with reds. The aesthetic chaos of the Unification theme is... tempting. Though this is only a off-the-cuff side project, it might lure me to continue under its siren song. After all, representing the Thunder Legions with counts-as Custodes teams wouldn't take more than a handful of models...

I'm honestly in awe. I always wonder how some people can come up with the most amazing concepts from a bunch of bits.

I mean, I have tons of bits and would not be able to come up with something this cool.

You flatterer, you

At least for me, it's similar to writing prompts: you have a theme in mind, see a hook and start doodling something around it. Sometimes it takes a few tries, but usually the combinations start to make sense after few minutes of playing around. Like any creative endeavour, one needs to just get to it and fine tuning can be handled later down the line.

Thanks PaddyMick, gruesome is a suitably grimdark compliment

Was asked to take a few pics in terrain as well, so why not. I don't (yet...) have another Unification team, so enjoy some Crusade era imagery instead as the XIV legion runs into trouble while cleansing a non-Imperial human civilisation. For reference, the marines are truescaled and about Primaris height.

More Unification madness!


The Dancing Circuit of the Church of the Ravenous Spark, M29, dancing on the glowing ashes of Old Earth. Before their eventual demise before the Thunder Legions, their arcane mastery over reality-bending quantum field technologies was feared far and wide amongst the warlords of the era.

To be fair, many of their studio painters do a fantastic variety of styles when not on company orders. While it would be cool to see some gritty models in the ads, seeing the models underneath all the grit is probably a necessity as well for marketing purposes

Technobarbarism of Old Earth, vol. III, painted!

The Veteran Guardsmen are a joy to play KT with, but man if it didn't feel like a slog to get them finished. I put some "good enough" tabletop slop on them on one June afternoon to have them ready for some demo games, but it took two months after that to return to them. The simple underlighting covered by translucent red was good for the first speed painting goal, but felt somewhat lacking when approached properly, sapping my motivation a bit. It happens, but at least two days of work later they are finally done and playable. Note to self, this was not a favored workflow of mine.

Anyway. The tax collecting bullies of a minor no-name warlord have come for your shoes, citizen! Cough up or prepare to get wrecked!

Extort softly and carry a big gun: plasma, flamer and grenade launcher.




Mortar spotter, melta and sniper.




The most trustworthy command group: a friendly doctor, an encouraging leader and his softspoken HR executive.




The special grunts: bossman's strong brother (known as "the Handle" for the bit he carries around, inexplicably proud of it) and the agitator, always ready to read their victims the reasons they are to be immediately de-shoefied.




The regular grunts. At the end of the day, fancy guns won't get you far without the riflemen kicking down the doors.
