Over the Weekend I had time to finish up my Primaris Reiver squad. I found once the main color was finished the rest fell into place rather quickly.
I am really happy how these guys turned out. The only thing that I couldn't decide on was the knife. I sought out the help of friends on Facebook giving 4 different options. The first was what I originally had, a copper blade. The second was a black blade with blood followed by a copper with blood stain. The final option and winner was a silver blade with blood stain. This was the one that seamed to satisfy most people.
I also had a little trouble with the eyes. The standard yellow eyes, were just not showing up well enough. I switched to red and while they don't pop, they don't blend into the face like the yellow did. I might try to go back with a brighter red later but probably not. I am too lazy and don't want to risk messing up what is finished.
Something weird happened with the Agrellan Earth though. I used some wood filler to cover the tab. I then painted the entire base black. Finally I laid on the Agrellan Earth but when it cracked it pulled up the black paint as well. This left the brown filler exposed. I used a Nulin Oil wash to turn the cracks dark but if I ever use that filler again I think I will tint it black before applying so to avoid this problem in the future.
There you have it a small six man squad of Reivers. We had a gift exchange at my FLGS and I got the Shadowspire orcs and another three pack. I will add these in eventually as well to bring the squad up to nine. That is later though, I need to work on this month's goal: Fast attack.
