The Silent Host: Raptors - The Jhatorat


Swooping down from the sky, jetpacks exhausting cold blue flame, the small, elite cult of Jhatorat assault troops are a remnant of the Silent Host's pre-Heresy days. Once, the Jhatorat formed only a portion of the vanguard of the Silent Host's strike forces. Now, only a single squad remains, four dusty automatons and a single sorcerous master, bound together by psychic might and undying aggression.

So the truth is, I can't actually RUN these models in my army. They are no longer a legal troop choice. Which is unfortunate, but did let me speed up the painting process a good bit. You might notice there is no use of edge highlighting, and very little layering. This is intentional. It meant I could move on to the next unit of (legal) models much more quickly.

Standard color scheme here, nothing too fancy. The usual color philosophy as well - Copper for elite troops, black for the sorcerer, all the rest standard for my army. One thing to note is the bone color used -- I love this combination for getting a very realistic bone color. Basically, it's a cream color with a sepia wash over.
