A World of Pure Imagination

I rescued these via ebay. They were in a bad way so got dipped and stripped in Dettol

Cloak – Base V Dark Blue Grey        Tunic – Base AP Field Grey              Skin   – Base AP Bondi Blue              Boots – Base CT Dark Reaper          Bow –   Base AP Cloak Grey              Armour – Base CT Leadbelcher      Leather – Base AP Soft Leather      Quiver – Base CT  Fenris Grey        Arrow Shafts – AP Matt Black          Fletchings – Base AP Arid Earth      Hair – Base – AP Spaceship Exterior

The cloak had an AP Dark Tone wash and the rest AP Strong Tone. After the washes, everything was repainted with the original base colour. Apart from the armour which was highlighted with CT Mithril Silver  everything else was highlighted with the base colour mixed with a touch of AP Arid Earth.  A final watered down wash of AP Strong Tone was then applied all over. They were based as previously mentioned but I now use AP Spaceship Exterior instead of Wool. They were then finally varnished with Instar Matt Varnish+.

Known to the Khalisan as the Shivnekh. Their real name is ancient and known only to them. Unlike many in the Khalisan’s great horde they are not part of any conquered peoples. In fact the Shivnekh offered their skills to the Khalisan. Not for financial gain but to be part of the great expansion. They are not entirely trusted by the Khalisam. Nor should they be. Their reasons to be involved are their own and lay much deeper than conquest alone.

I want my colour scheme based on those of Tibetan Monks. Deep red and bright yellows/oranges.

Tunics – GW Red Gore

Lanyard – GW Macaharius Solar Orange

Skin – AP Mix of Tanned Flesh and Soft Leather

Armour – GW Tinbitz

Weapons – GW Leadbelcher

Strapping – AP Soft Leather

AP Dark Tone over all armour and weapons

AP Strong Tone over the rest

The monks thought that they could ignore the machinations of  the world outside of their mountain monasteries. However the Khalisan could not ignore them as it was their will to conquer all. They tried to assault the monasteries through the narrow mountain passes but the monks were skilled in defensive warfare and held them off. So a vast siege was put in place to starve them out. The Khalisan’s scouts secretltly climbed the steep cliffs and set alight the monks food stores. The starving monks eventually submitted. The Khalisan agreed to let them continue their worship in return for the supply of manpower. They form a light infantry contingent. Not the most aggressive but strong in defence and useful for holding a flank.
