OK this will likely be the last you'll hear from me for a week or two... I'm off to Salute this weekend and for a bit of a holiday in the UK. But I finished up these chaps last night and wanted to post them before I leave.
This of course is a box of the "new" plastic Bloodletters... "new" being relative, as these were first released over a decade ago, in 2013. They're quite a different aesthetic from the
others I've painted as these ones are quite lithe and slender, as opposed to the hulking metal brutes that preceded them. But I like these ones too as they really harken back to the OG Bloodletters from Slaves to Darkness:
Anyway I painted them very similarly to the metal ones - bodies Khorne Red/Mephiston Red/Evil Sunz Scarlet, horns and nails Kantor/Thunderhawk Blue, and swords Corax White finished with Biel-Tan Green wash.
The poses on these models are generally quite good. I especially like the daemons wielding their swords two-handed. But care must be taken to match sword arms and left arms, don't just cut them off the sprues and put them in a pile!
You get a nice champion-head in the box.
Standard-bearer and musician too for those inclined to do a fantasy-battle unit. Since the sacred number of Khorne is eight and you get ten of these daemons in a box, I reckon that the standard and musician will mostly get LOB in 40K games. But it's nice to have the options.
Cheeky chappies! Unlike the older metal models that sport loincloths, these daemons are fully unclothed. Fortunately they're smooth like Ken dolls :-)
Anyway that's all for now, I'm sure I'll have a report from Salute in due course! And I almost forgot - Blood for the you-know-who!
