Pack-Lieutenant Rakt Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hello, just painted my first model after a 15 year absence to the delights of 40k. What do you think? I think I need to smooth out my highlights on the green armour, and the white shoulder pad is a bit patchy, but on the whole I'm pretty pleased. The shoulder pad has been left blank on purpose, as I fancy a go at some custom decals once I get a colour printer. The marines are fallen Blood Ravens and I'm still working on the name. I was thinking of The Carrion Cabal, or The Carrion Cult (I like the alliterations), but I seem to have recently stuck with just Carrion. Keeps it simple. Any comments will be appreciated.

Gafgarion Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 This is an excellent clean miniature. I must admit though, I have a hard time shaking off the christmas associations with the colour scheme. I'm sure adding the chapter symbol will alleviate that though. I would probably paint the arrow on the bolter metal though, just to break up that red space. I'm also not too keen on the blue grenade, looks a bit random in terms of colour choice. I think The Carrion or Carrion Cabal sounds great for chapter names, you could add details like black feathers here and there ( small plasticard cut outs and DW bits could work) to really drive home the 'carrion' thing.

Pack-Lieutenant Rakt Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 I was a little timid with using more exagerated highlights on this first model, but I hope that will come with practise. Christmas? The thought never crossed my mind until you mentioned it Gafgarion, but now every time I look at him I'm imagining little pieces of tinsel and fairy lights strewn around his neck. Just glad I didn't put them on snowy bases! I'm picturing a squad of Noise Marines like this, blasting Slade out across the battlefield (shudder!). I like the feather idea - I shall give that some thought. Thanks both of you!

chaplainmikey Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I really like it! The colour scheme is unusual,but i really like the combination of the green for the majority of the armour and the red for the bolter and back pack. The white shouldar pad is a nice touch too. Looking forward to seeing more of these marines! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151695-carrion/#findComment-1767471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
