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.

Amazing vision, kit bashing and execution Sherrypie. Such grim, gritty looking figures really evoke the sense of Old Night.

Thanks Gordy, when an idea strikes it just needs to be followed through

Great use of bits!
I particulary like the use of helbrute heads.
Inspiring and at the heart of grimdark aesthetics.
Well done.

One of the coolest looking Kill Teams I've ever seen! Kudos

"The larger point though, is that as players, we have more control over what the game looks and feels like than most of us are willing to use in order to solve our own problems" |

Thanks. I still don't know why the Helbrute kit comes with so many heads, but I'm not complaining

That's horrifying in all the right ways. Like a Blanche painting on the tabletop.

Third team of inbred hillfolk cannibals is built as well, though it probably won't be painted before summer. We'll see, I need to get some games in with these ones first as well!

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.
