Akan's Reavers


Hyaenidae

Recommended Posts

Tritus looks awesome and this thread continues to invade my mind. As yestarday I went to a Semi-local hobby shop and when I saw the Black Crusade book, I started reading it and started making a mental list of what Aken would have for talents, traits, wargear, minions and such.
Try typing 'Honey Badger Don't Care' in google images, you'll see what M2C means. Dammit, I finally got that saying out of my head after Louisiana got crushed (plus they finally stopped saying it on ESPN), and now M2C put it back in. Thanks, jerk. :rolleyes:

*sigh* Honey badgers aside...here's the next WIP.

Kyres, formerly of the Lamenters, Sword-arm of King Akan.

I imagine Kyres as reletivly in control of his sanity, and tough as nails to boot. The memories and experiences of the Badab War are still fresh in his mind; from constant frantic boarding actions as the war began, to the frenzied street to street fights, and CQC deep within the Palace of Thorns as the slaughter continued. This man is a veteran of the worst Astartes on Astartes conflict since the Heresy itself, and I wanted to show it on the mini. I chose the Mk. IV chestplate, Mk. VI legs and shoulderpad to help reinforce this idea, the improved frontal armour looked incredibly tough to me together. The 'Icon' came out well, in my opinion. I was quite pleased with it, and I'm looking forward to painting him up. The Gladius is a relic from his days as a Lamenter, though the old hilt has been shattered years ago. A Red Scorpion femur made an excellent replacement, heh heh. As for his pose, I chose a steady trot, to help reinforce not only his skill in CQC, but also his level of control and (at least partial) discipline.

Looking forward to painting this guy, hope you guys like him!

Wow man.

 

Pretty damn fantastic.

 

The sheild thing really works. I really like it. I can imagine him bashing away his foe with the sheild then a quick brutal stab with the blade. The choice of helmet is nice. I'm not too familiar with it is it a havoc head?

 

Bone handle is also very cool. Sums it up nicely very cool.

 

Also does this mean Ixion is in full sprint because he is a nutter? haha.

@Yogi: Yep! :) AND I made him the grenadier. Nothing says Chaos like giving the psycho high explosives, lol!

 

@Everyone: Glad you like him! Yogi had it right, the head is from the Chaos Havocs, I've been saving it for years for a special occasion. The tusks just screamed "I'm gonna gut you like a pig", which seemed to fit Kyres so well.

 

I'm not sure I can describe how crazy-hard it was to carve through those DC legs to tall-scale that bugger, in the english language. This fella was insane to get together, but I'm very proud how he turned out. I'm looking forward to painting this guy and seeing how the Shield/Icon turns out.

 

Off to my painting desk!
