With this batch of the new sculpts of Raging Heroes' Blood Vestals (Sci-Fi version) I decided to make them a little less of a direct port from the, semi nude, Dark Elf Witch Elves and painted a grey leotard instead of the bare breasts. This makes them blend better with the Games Workshop Dark Eldar that I primarily use them with.
Even though the original Void Elf Blood Vestals are awesome models I was very pleased with these updated versions. They applied a lot of lessons learned to these models which are a great addition to, and blend well with, the
original set.
Raging Heroes, at this stage of their development, are primarily used as proxies for other game systems. I've become a fan of proxies over the years and think that their existence, and strong showing on the tabletop, help drive innovation in the industry and encourage the biggest companies to work harder. Raging heroes units have a lot of built in variety and often come with an assortment of alternate parts. I use these mainly as Dark Eldar Wyches and and Ynnari cultists.
These models were constructed from one pack of Blood Vestal Troopers and one pack of Blood Vestal Command.
The bladed weapons ended up being an eerie green that I think of as exotic materials, energy, or poison. Its a quick application of Hexwraith Flame (GW, technical) with some accents using Splintered Bone (Reaper)
The hair starts with Krylon Khaki base coat dry-brushed with Sandstone craft paint and then again with Pure White (Reaper). A 50/50 wash of Nightmare Black (Reaper) and Glaze Medium (Vallejo). Highlights by adding Pure White (Reaper)
The desk is full of terrain and magnets at the moment... as well as some greenstuff rollers...
So I'm guessing terrains and possibly some Heresy Girls, Jailbirds, and/or Twisted minis will finish up next.
Back to the desk!
