Chaplain Raeven

Never liked the bone Bladeguard, especially when they had great artwork in their codex for years to show how they looked in green. Dark Angels in Power armour just look right in green. It was that strange period when we didn't know what they were going to do with Terminators, I think a lot of people were relieved they finally got the Primaris treatment instead of being replaced by Bladeguard or Gravis.

Alright, time to dust his one off now that the new CtA is here! I've painted very little Warhammer these last months, I keep getting distracted by pieces of boardgames that I want to turn into a (functional) christmas diorama. But I've managed to paint a squad of Night Lords at the very least! They've turned out better than my first attempt, which made me go back to the first batch and touch them up a little bit. I have 3 5-man squads and a bunch of heavy weapons to sprinkle in now. Still got 10 legionnaires on sprue and some unpainted squads (as seen on the horrible photo below). Maybe fodder for a future painting event. Speaking of a painting event. Since the new CtA is here, I've decided to paint some Consecrator of my backlog. As much as I want to paint my Night Lords, I really need to finish some HQ's for the main army. I had a serious lack of Characters in my last slow grow campaign at my local store, which made my army perform abysmal. Especially with the Gravis lads, who had not a single HQ to join 'em It's been a while since I've played after that unsatisfying campaign, but the models I've bought at the time were still staring at me. Figured this was a great time to get to them, in case I find my interest to play again. It seemed a good time to get started on my Leviathan box as well, it always takes way too long for me to get started after I buy the new shiny thing. I'm finishing up the first pair of lads, so pictures aren't far off.

The Spyre hunters had a couple of RE's as well

The DoW piece is both, it's an unassembled print from the original game.

Phone is busted, will post a pic when I bought a new one. Or since only the terminators aren't eligible: Should learn how to read. Quoted original post: Got a couple questions: - Is there a place where one can find this Retro scheme? Interested in painting up some of my HH-bulk or some of my HQ's. - Does the Leviathan Ancient count as a sculpted banner? (The skeleton popsicle)

"I, Raeven, heed the Call to Arms and pledge to paint for 35 points (36 if you count the beacon) for the Glory of the Dark Angels and the Astartes Stronghold on or before 15th September 2025, or bear the badge of failure until year's end." For 5 points each: Terminator Captain Terminator Librarian Gravis Captain Gravis Biologis Ancient Chaplain Squad of Terminator

A well deserved win, Alby! Your awesome painting tells a story before a single word is written. An entire dioroma for your kill team is just flexing at this point Beautifull Angels as well Grotsmasha, it's poetic that the fight was against your nemesis and your furry rivals Thanks for the votes everyone, didn't expect to get in the top 3 with the sheer amount of awesome entries! Just the two squads for now, I need external motivation to get going with them Bought some Raptors and Terminators in a moment of weakness though, so maybe for next year? Thanks again for hosting the event! As you can see, it works great as a motivator!

I have a lot of (Gravis) squads without proper commanders, so I'm probably going the same route. I have a whole Leviathan-box to paint as well, two Lions and a Fire Raptor.

Alright, all done! Finished them up a couple of days ago, but it's been an absolute PAIN to photograph them. After 50 botched pics with my phone, I eventually had to take the old camera out of the attic and wait for an overcast day. Thank you for hosting this event again, Lysimachus! It was a load of fun! The Terrible Ten The 4th Chapter of the fractured Night Lords have been waging war since the Heresy. Escaping severely bloodied from their defeat at the Thramas sector, they absorbed roving warbands of their kin during the later stages of the Heresy. They kept terrorising and pilaging Loyalist worlds until the end of Heresy. They kept raiding afterwards as well ofcourse, just not that overt. They've continued their long war ever since, keeping the original Legion colours and company structure their Primarch envisioned. The Chapter accepts contracts for anyone willing to pay in wargear or aspirants, to supplement their gains from raids. Warbands are in high demand with the Black Legion, since an organised warband with Legion-training are a usefull, albeit malicious, scalpel to complete objectives.

I don't know about you guys, but I have plenty of Angels to paint up for this event. I might even have saved them especially for this!

I was hoping the event would make a return. After making a dent in my Night Lords with the Kill Team event, this would be a great time to work on all my unfinished Marines.

Still working on my lads! It took me a while to wrestle through all the trim and freehand shoulderpads. I should have waited on the actual transfers with the previous squad, it would be out of place if I used them now. Just need to do the oilwash and some tidying up. Should be done within 2 weeks
