Khagra's Ravagers

Yesterday, I got my box of Khagra's Ravagers: 


Out of all Warhammer Underworlds warbands released so far, the ones I like the most (visually) are this one and Ylthari's Guardians. However, I have to say that I like Crimson Court as well - those vampires are looking really good. Since I play WHU only on Steam (and I like it), the main reason why I am purchasing these Warbands is to be able to use them in regular games (as proxy models) or in Warcry/Skirmish games. In this particular case, the models in Khagra's Ravagers warband are perfect to be used as heroes. 
 
For example, regular Chaos Lord model is cool - but his pose is a bit static. Khagra's model, on the other hand, with weapon pointing forward could be a great choice for your general (or one of the heroes). I know that the weapons are not exactly the same, but that's something you can easily discuss before the game. On the other hand, it shouldn't be too hard to convert the model, so it has a halberd instead of the mace.



Same goes for Khagra's sister, Zarshia Bittersoul - she has much more dynamic pose than a regular Chaos Sorcerer Lord, but there's no difference when it comes to the equipment. I like this model much more than the regular Sorcerer Lord.


When it comes to Razek Godblessed and Dour Cragan, I thik they are perfect alternate models for Exalted Hero of Chaos. I've never liked the original model (Wulfrik the Wanderer from the old WHFB) and I can already see a Ravagers list where you can use every single model from this WHU warband as a hero.  




I can't wait to paint these guys, but they will have to wait a bit since I've got some other things that I'm focused on at the moment.

Ylthari's Guardians

Today I have finished painting the last miniature from the Ylthari's Guardians warband. Now the warband is complete and I'm looking forward to my first WHU game (but I'll have to wait for it for some time, since my son was just born few days ago :) ).

I really like the look of Ylthari's Guardians - actually, they and Farstriders were the reason why I started looking at Shadespire/Nightvault sets. However, what I'm planing to do in the future is use these guys much more in our skirmish games, because they really have a lot of character (and if you add them a single Kurnoth Hunter, you get a sweet 250 point skirmish warband).

Here's how my Ylthari's Guardians look like:
