Knives of the Crone

 The second warband for Warhammer Underworlds to be completed this year, and of course, as mentioned in the quarterly overview last week, I'm sticking to aelves alone.

 

Okay, bar of course the Blood of the Bull...

 

And this time, I went for perhaps one of the most complex to master of the Aelven warbands: the Knives of the Crone.  While their bounty and wounds mirror their rivals from Myari's Purifiers all the way back to Beastgrave, where the Lumineth are baseline easy to master, these are... well... far more complex with their Prophecy table.

 

And to add some more layer even to them when I'll take them along this year, I will field them with Realmstone Raiders and Reckless Fury, for even more tracking shennanigans!  

 

I went for a purple and red clothing and armour, to give some old school Dark Elves meets Daughters of Khaine vibe.  To add contrast to their dark cloaks and raven feathers, I went for a light blueish gray for their hairs.

 

While opinions on the sculpts are divided, I must say I like them, and they look better when painted up (which was the same with Kamandora for that matter on the paintjobs I've seen on those) and they do emit that visciousness that comes with the army and fluff for certain.

 

Now to see how they play, as I'll be starting to try them out one of these weeks for certain!
