Reiver ATV

 One of my favourite kits from this Primaris era is the mighty Reivers.

I made my Reivers to be part of my Ravenwing so decided for my third ATV to include some of the spare heads you get with the kit.

With all the Knights and Death Guard lists floating around at the moment I decided the mighty multi melta would be essential for when they get up close and personal with the enemy.

Painting followed my Outriders approach with the exception being the edge highlights were achieved using a round head make up brush. This came out really well with the Vallejo goblin green highlights looking the best out of my Ravenwing.

Much like my Reivers, I spent a bit of time on the skull helmet which I think came out well.

The usual approach of lots of transfers continued with some  trim achieved by the spiky strips on the side of the ATV courtesy of the Dark Angel transfer sheet from their upgrade kit.

Rules wise the ATV can’t join the Reivers like they can with an Outriders squad. However, in my current list I have this spare ATV so he will ride adjacent to his skull face bros.

More Outriders

 My Ravenwing is nearing completion with another three Outriders.

I wanted these to match my second unit so went with a mix of helmet less heads from various kits. I also converted the sarge version into a standard Outrider by removing the heavy bolt pistol and converted the hand to be wielding a chainsword.

Painting followed the usual approach but I went a little harder on the grey dry brush, black speed paint and second grey dry brush. 

The list I have run has two 6 man units of Outriders and a 6 man unit of Black Knights. Each has at least a character or the Ravenwing command squad. The three bike units hit hard but the counter strike needs to be considered. 

I like to have my Reivers and Darkshroud ready to back up the furious charge.

Arabyonnians/ Bretonnian Exiles

 As I dipping my toe back to in the Old World it was time to finish off the Arabyonnians who I will run as Bretonnian Exiles.

First up is my Baron who received an extra axe as he is wielding the frontier axe in the list I am currently running.

 

His horse is an old GW Bretonnian horse to differentiate him from the other knights.

My Green Genie aka the Green Knight is an old metal reaper mini updated to match the colour scheme of the never bros.

I also finished my Knights on foot with great weapons. These are old Black tree design Saracen bros I have been wanting to finish. 

The final new bros are black tree design warriors of Islam with crossbows who I run as Border Princes Brigands. 

I have had two test games and as usual the mounted knights hit like a sledgehammer but am yet to give the foot knights a real challenge. Brigands were pretty good in both shooting and can take a charge from smaller units in combat.

More games to come.
