From Barks: Grimdark Ravers (20 points)

These are the Negavolt Cultists from Blackstone Fortress. They are from the Dark Mechanicus, the chaos traitors from the Adeptus Mechanicus. They look like extras from a Matrix dance party. I thought I had overdone the OSL, but it looks OK in the pictures. OSL is hard to do on pale colours; it is more effective on dark colours (e.g. Vader).


I'm steadily getting through my Blackstone figures; but they are really slowing down my progress to my target.

Skull-o-meter: 8

4x 28mm figures

Lovin' these guys, Barks. Their Camelback E-Dispensers are excellent and I really like their whacky tentacle dreads as well.  I have this box sitting unopened in my studio and seeing your work really makes me want to pop it and get to work. Bad Squirrel, bad! 

20 points for you, Mr. Barks - Now drop the needle and head back into the pink Chaos rave.

  6. Usually one does not think of pink and mean in the same line of thought, but these do! Well done Barks!

    1. I think if you carry on with po-faced seriousness, it works.
