> I don't know. A little girl with long black hair covering her face, a floaty white dress and a big blood-stained knife in her hand is practically a horror archetype these days.
Oh my, shows how old-school I am... if she isn't dripping blood or entrails from the mouth, it doesn't really shock me. Just a lost girl on a battlefield, found her despoiled mother and drew out the blade that killed her.

Seriously, this is hard to put into 25 mm miniatures. Any effect that may work in subdued tones in life-size has to be overdone by an order of magnitude to be recognized at that scale.
I may never have managed to create a minis army or diorama worth taking a photo of, but early on in my RPGing career I exchanged math lessons for miniature painting lessons with a local minis celebrity, so I know at least in theory how to arrive at effective figures.
Any kids swinging oversized blades will look pretty ridiculous. It is hard to create a convincing scowl. Runic tattoos would be too small to notice, unless you had flourescent paint or similar gimmicks. To get across that this is a bloody deadly kid, you will have to include victims, at least parts thereof.
