Rogue Trader Khorne Renegades

Hey everyone ! Now I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one in the northern hemisphere but temperatures here are not the most painter friendly at the moment right ? They're not paint friendly either but I had a WE on my own and felt like making the best of it so put 10 hours of historical podcast (unusual for me) and just went through the motions.

I should really highlight that the weather here is absolutely not fit for painting, I had to prime in the evening because of the heat during the day and all my usual recipes simply didn't work or not how I'm used to, drybrushing becoming more like clay shaping and washes drying waaaaay too fast for pigments to settle.

Anyway, nothing stops a motivated spirit so I picked some models I could paint in a more painterly style with focus on the general effect more than inidividual features, so I picked those Khorne renegades I had in progress for way too long !

Now Khorne renegades had the kindness to come in 9 which makes 10 with the dedicated heavy weapon bearer and that fills my metric system loving heart A LOT.

I had already painted one of the renegades long ago before I even had the complete collection so I focuse don the 9 others and just overpainted him a bit to fit in.

First are the 3 I assume to be from Kev Adams if you look at the knee pads, weapons and little details like the rear face ^^'

Then a Juggernaught face renegade and two bloodletter heads variants which strike me more as Michael Perry's. I love the Alien like horns and I find the colours fit those even more.

Then another 3 with Bloodletter heads and shoulder horns which push the Alien resemblance even further. The heavy weapon bearer got a plastic autocanon that had its ammo box replaced by a later plastic heavy bolter ammo chain.

As you can see, I didn't go for neatness, technique or anything of the sort, I wanted something raw, antique, unsettling so kept my worn out armours and internal fire.
This army is growing at a slow pace I know but little by little it's getting there and it's now at the point where each God has a bit of variety in troops so I'm a happy hobbyist !
