It's mentioned a couple times that the Reavers tend to wear a darker green livery than the rest of their legion, and I tried to take the recipe I've been using down a couple tones. They will end up with red shoulder pads as well, which I think should look pretty cool and help tie them in with the Justaerin and the veterans. Really liking the Maxmini jump packs - They are a nice nod to the modern-era chaos raptors versions!
I am a fan of those jet packs for sure. To me they have the real weight to them.
ReplyDeleteLoving those green tones though, nice effect.
I'm a fan of where these are right now. I'm not sure red will go very well with them though. Red and green are very unflattering together! Maybe black pads?

ReplyDelete@Rory Priest: Indeed! Thanks very much!
ReplyDelete@John Stiening: Thanks! I'm actually wishing I'd gone with this green for the baseline troops at this point. Guess that means after I'm done with this force, I can justify doing another take on the SoH, right? The red is going to be very dark reddish-brown, similar to that used on the Justaerin - a bright red would definitely stray into christmas territory! :)
@Monkaychuka: Cheers, bud!
I agree about the Jump packs, they're awesome. My blog reader didn't include the maxmini reference so I immediately started looking on Forgeworld for them!
ReplyDelete@Dave Weston: Cheers! They're the "Storm Talon" jump packs, really pleased with 'em!
ReplyDeleteThese look great, and nice Maximini jump packs
