Kainan's Reapers
Filed Under: Hobby
Kainan’s Reapers are the Ossiarch Bonereapers warband for Warhammer Underworlds: Direchasm. I’ve kind of fallen off Underworlds, but I plan on collecting all the warbands from Direchasm anyway, because they’re all just such cool models1.
When I sat down to paint these I didn’t really know what kind of colour scheme I wanted to go for. Something simple, I thought, with only a few colours. Something death-themed, with the blues, purples and greens that have made their way onto other undead models I’ve painted.
In the end, I settled on this purple scheme, with a grey exoskeleton and boney endoskeleton. I like it a lot!
The exoskeleton is Space Wolves Grey, the endoskeleton is Skeleton Horde, and the purple is FW Ink ‘Purple Lake’. I wish there was a Citadel purple that was as saturated and juicy.
Here is the big bone boy Kainan himself:
Ossiarch Bonereapers are pretty neat. I knew that already, but now I think it so much I could totally see myself painting more of them. Maybe little a Warcry warband, as a treat…

I’ll probably pick up warbands from subsequent seasons like Harrowdeep for the same reason. Additionally, the warbands from Direchasm and previous seasons all have rules for use in Warcry now, which makes them even more tempting. ↩
