Wow.
It’s amazing to finally see your corsairs turn into a fully fledged army – where every miniature retains the personality and badassery of those first conversions, made many moons ago. Congratulations Kari!

Thank you, Johan! Focusing on doing characters instead of an army of nonames was one of the main ideas I had in my mind in the first place. That, and a vision of them having a last stand in Crimson Fists style, against the deadly environment they’ve hit.

I bet. But it’s all worth it. The results speak for themselves. You’ll have to have some proper motivational music going when doing the Land Raider. Eye of the Tiger style. Ha hahaa!! 😉

Absolutely brilliant. This has truly turned out to be an army of individuals and is one of the most visually striking and cohesive 40K armies I have ever seen.

Excellent, excellent work.
I said back a few months ago that while these guys definitely weren’t Imperial Marines any more, they weren’t quite Chaos yet either. This is only more obvious now that we can see them all together. All violence and murder, the purpose for which they were created, yet enslaved to no lord. The external grime and deterioration reflects the inner corruption.

Thank you!
You pinpointed the exact thing that I’ve had in my mind from the very beginning of doing these guys. The overly chaotic looks of the most CSM is ok to me, but I wanted these guys to stand out with simple yet effective visual coherency.

The whole group looks amazing. The Red Corsairs were always some of my favorites of your work.
I’ll miss Ragal’s power hook, though…

Cheers! Ah, the hook… That might make a comeback if I ever create a bigger boss for these guys 🙂

These guys are absolutely stunning. I’ve been following their genesis avidly and it’s brilliant to see them all come together!
Out of interest, how many points is your force? I’ve been nudging towards having a serviceable mob of Crows to loiter around Migs’ Vlka Fenryka but I’m jealous of your points-to-model ratio! 😉

Thank you!
I don’t have any clues about the points… If they are being played as Primaris marines, you can count Ragal Gair as Captain character, Jarin Thios and Elia Ygon as Lieutenants, Gashkyt the Skinner as Ancient and the rest as regular Intercessor Primaris. Cristos Savacius counts as Primaris Redemtor, probably…

Really nice work on the conversions (goes without saying really) but it’s the richness of the colours that always does it for me here – the quality of the red and the black is just sublime.

Superb mate – I love it all, but that banner really is something special… and wow, that almost-terracotta red is just beautiful. Bravo sir!

Thank you! I’m thinking of adding some more details for the banner. The skull and scroll combo does look a bit dull… Maybe crossed bones running behind the skull.
