Time to add another squirrel to my tally. These 5 Spite-Revenants will be joining my on-growing Sylvaneth army, which I have actually used couple of times during the last two years. We decided to try Path to Glory campaign again from the AoS 1st ed, but with 2nd ed rules etc. This was about a year before AoS 3rd ed was released, but our campaign is not yet finished... I'm quite close to end it, but not enough. Hopefully these angry chaps will help me to achieve my goal.
Spite-Revenants are Sylvaneth Outcasts, rather mad and angry compared to other Sylvaneth units. They are a perfect fit for my army, since it's background is quite angry itself: a force which got angry with Nurgle and other enemies trampling their forests, they decided to strike back. My whole army has this same sinister and darkish purple scheme, only the small spirits and trinkets are bright coloured and no green anywhere.

This unit is a bit of a glasshammer, they have lots of dangerous attacks, but break like glass, if struck. The maddest of the mad, Drycha Hamadreth (who I already have) gives them some bonus, so I need to keep these close to her. These are naturally plastic from Games Workshop and they could be assembled as Tree-revenants as well, they are not-so-mad and basically the standing army of Sylvaneth.
The paintjob is almost a cheat, most of the area is just white undercoat with Druchii Violet on... Some red on the leaves, yellow (under Druchii violet) on the "skin" parts and black on the vicious blades. Stirland Mud on the base with some yellow sand to mimic fresh pollen, which the army brings with them. And of course some skulls, they are fighting on a boggy battleground, which has seen Nurgle and other enemies fight back and forth - these skulls are from humans and orruks, total of 13 of them. The skulls are a common item on this army, so I didn't invent this to bring more skulls to the skull throne, it is just a coincidence...
5 Spite-Revenants should give me 25 points and a squirrel.

Nice looking figures Teemu. Quite the squirrel count.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter! The squirrel count is slowing down - as expected - but the strong start has helped me.
DeleteGreat work, Teemu! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tamsin!
DeleteSplendid looking psychopathic dryads!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, they are quite psychopathic indeed!
DeleteLots of S’s in this post… squirrel., skull, Sprite-Revenant, Sylvaneth Outcast and splendid job! (Ok that was cheesy but really these are great!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Natasha, lots of Ss indeed, I didn't notice that! :)
DeleteGreat looking angry tree-folk. The purple colour makes them look pretty creepy.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was going for a lighter look on the first unit, but they ended up quite dark and grim and I liked it, so I stick to that.
DeleteThese are great, I love the basing you have done too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter! The muddy base with bright yellow pollem works quite nice with the creepy treefolk.
DeleteWhat a creepy job! Love the “not green” colour you’ve chosen as it suits them down to the ground.
ReplyDeleteTrue, I agree with you Jamie!
DeleteThanks not-Millsy-Dave, they are kind of tree spirits, almost living trees, but not quite. They are angry and they have sharp claws. :)
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous colours Teemu!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the skullz!
