Time to start a new army for 4th! I’ve gone back and forth a bit but I’m pretty sold on Twilight Kin for this coming Edition. The concept was pretty solid before as I had a list that I really liked that felt well supported and was full of models that I was excited to build and paint. That notion has taken a significant hit coming into 4th as I don’t yet know how I’m going to fit in all of the stuff I like while now paying the Corsair Tax.
Let’s get started with a WIP Impaler!
Looking good
Twilight Kin players are all in the same boat - ahem - skiff.
Looking good so far.
Remember, 12 Impalers will probably be more than enough, even with full model count. 
Or, bizarrely weavers! Which just shows how much shooting has been hit if they’re going from irregular to core - even we don’t really know what their rules are yet!
Yeah it’s a bit challenging now to fit 2 regiments of Impalers.
Still to build the Terror, Mind Screech, and pick up some phantoms for the 2k list.
Having the models myself I have to admit I can’t tell the weapons apart.
They are just thin, curved or curled metal things.
And I would assume not only most opponents have the same problem, but even more Twilight Kin players.
I wouldn’t swap weapons, I would assemble the models like I want, regroup them like I want and tell my opponents if it’s unit A or B.
They will ask you anyways…
There are a bunch of longer weapons in the corsair kit, so you could just separate those out.
I used a bunch of spear arms from shieldwolf valkyries - and then the models themselves as elf vibe phantoms.
The altar is probably too thick at the moment but I’m fairly happy with the mockup of my first Impaler regiment. The second one will mirror this one so that they form a big semicircular dais with standing stone pickup handles.
I like that transition from pink to orange.
Thanks Rob. Pretty excited about trying a new colour scheme challenge. I’ve been doing a bunch of research to find a nice transition colour from the purple to the orange so it doesn’t become a muddy mess. Definitely outside my usually Sylvan Kin browns and greens.
I think the progression that you have there really works - I see orange → rose → plum → pink. It’s quite nice. I’d say you have a keeper there!
Impaler time! I’ve been trying to simulate some airbrush work by letting drybrushing hit the large volumes of the minis. The armour ended up being a bit over highlighted so I went back in and glazed in a bunch of diluted gryphhound orange to get the vibrancy of the orange midtone back. Still need to come in and deepen those shadows With some spot brown wash.
looking absolutely ace!
