Brother Shrike Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm sure everyone on this board has secretly been saying to themselves, "Man, I wish Brother Shrike would show us his Raven Guard..." ;) But sarcasm aside, here are some of my semi-finished RG metal guys. I will post more when I strip them and paint them. But anyway... This guy is going in an assault squad, with one of the archive "turbofan" metal jump packs. I was pretty pleased with how the plasma acceleration coils turned out. I just noticed that the red and orange in the coil got onto the gunmetal part, so I need to touch that up. here is a standard bolter tactical marine, I'm happy with the chest part. Mk6 marine, just noticed some red on the legs and some greenstuff showing on the base. Argh. One of the things I like most about my paint scheme is how it isn't just straight RGB 0:0:0 (AKA straight black) but it is more gray. Anyway, here are some buildings. And close ups on the Battle for Macragge terrain (I repainted the glass after taking the above pictures) And I have more pics of my barricades if people want them, but I'm already fearing for people's 56K connections :) EDIT: just realised that the aquila dude isn't metal, but whatever.

Mac Gal Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 It looks promising. I like orange on Plasma Pistool, i like the bases, and i like old marine model...

faol Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 How did you do the rust on your builds I really like that. Your marines looks as if theyt are going to be a pretty rough and tumble group Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/129366-brother-shrikes-raven-guard/#findComment-1490355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Shrike Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys. The rust is just a fiery orange wash. @faol: what do you mean by "rough and tumble?" is that good or bad? :ermm: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/129366-brother-shrikes-raven-guard/#findComment-1490537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tfcdogbert Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Can be either, rough and tumble in this context i think equals inelegant fighters, not the Smurfs or the mordian iron guard, more the catachans and world eaters style of brawling as oposed to shiny uniforms and etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/129366-brother-shrikes-raven-guard/#findComment-1490544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinvs Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Good work! Perfect terrain About minies: I like plasma-effect. If it will be interesting for you: your first miniature (with p/pistol) wear Power Armour Mk.III Iron and by rules from time of this models SM in PA Mk.III cannot wear jump-pack, becouse this type of PA was very heavy. I think will be good use this rules in modern time too, for make some fluff-differention between different types of power armor.

Brother Shrike Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Interesting. Thanks for the tip. I think that the only time that I will use a guy with a plasma pistol and chainsword is in an assault squad, so maybe I'll say that Jump Pack technology has gotten better, and now can lift him. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/129366-brother-shrikes-raven-guard/#findComment-1490861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrike's Wing Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Nice work :P the orange plasma gun coils contrast well with the dark amour particully (spelling?) like the old space marine armour Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/129366-brother-shrikes-raven-guard/#findComment-1493699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Shrike Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 I'm going to post some pics of Shrike's jump pack, as soon as I get around to it. I would like to say that it will be up this weekend, but knowing me it'll be up sometime in the next week or 2. sorry. :nuke: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/129366-brother-shrikes-raven-guard/#findComment-1512928 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuchinawa Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Awesome. I love 'em I use light blue to contrast my color. I like your orange. There's his jump pack but where's the man who get's rending becuase he's so cool. EPIC WIN for awesome Raven Guard. <High five> Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/129366-brother-shrikes-raven-guard/#findComment-1774864 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warforger Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Not bad, have the gem effect on the eyes of more of your models and you would be a pro, its actually pretty good otherwise. 8/10 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/129366-brother-shrikes-raven-guard/#findComment-1775009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
