Vulkan454 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hello guys, i have decided to do a blog for my raptors 3rd company. Those not familiar with the Raptors should check out these links: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Raptors_(Chapter) http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...;showarticle=74 Anyway i got a bit bored of my Salamanders (but i still use them) so i started a little known chapter for the fun of it. And im quite liking them. Anyway here are some pics of all my raptors stuff: Tactical Squad :D They are going to be expanded to 10 men soon. http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/PICT0006.jpg Captain He has a combi-plasma that is being painted separately. http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/PICT0014.jpg Land Raider :) I only got this on Thursday (15th) from 2 of my best friends (one of whom is Justicar Cirekon on here) as a leaving present because im moving to Scotland in the middle of August. It came as a complete surprise. I have ordered some Raptors doors from Forge World as well. Sorry for the bad pic. http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/PICT0017.jpg And as something fun i decided to make a control base for them. It will be getting standing platforms for the tower but my craft knife has broken so i haven't done much on it (thats also why the main platform hasn't been finished. Jungle plants will be added. http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/PICT0018.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/PICT0019.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/PICT0020.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/PICT0022.jpg On my list is to finish the captain and land raider then get started on an assault squad. Then i will probably get some scouts to make it a legal army. So C&C welcome and much appriciated. Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Eight Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 What colour red are u using if u dont mind me asking please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan454 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 The red is just mechrite red with a black wash on top. Anyway I have decided to revive this thread so over the next couple of days I will be posting pics of what I have done. I'm here to ask you opinion on my captains helmet. Wings or not? http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/771b799e.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/4ad46c89.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/a7ce0f3e.jpg Sorry the horrendous pics but I had to use my iPhone because my camera is out of battery. Better pics up tomorrow. So the question is, wings or not? (I'm using a normal back pack) Please comment, cheers Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynnean Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 wings look kinda cool; but maybe on the shoulder pads instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyen Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Wings look cool on the helemet, but not how well they would fit fluffy wise for the whole survival in the jungle bit. Though they are still your models and you can do as you will! In any case all you need to start playing really is to finish the 10 man tactical squad up and you are ready to go. No Scouts needed, just combat squad and play small games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan454 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Thanks for both of your comments guys they are much appreciated. I would like to mount a wing on the shoulder pad but they both have ichnography on then so it's almost impossible to put it on. Thanks for reminding me about the fluff, i forget a lot. As for game wise im still using my 1.5k Sallies for fighting duty but im hoping to play some induction games for my raptors. In the end though i have scraped the wings idea and given him a jump pack and also making him my assault squad sergeant: http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2908.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2909.jpg My land raider, a couple of touch ups needed where i clipped it from the sprue: http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2902.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2903.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2904.jpg And my current captain: http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2901.jpg I went to GW today to order Gabriel Seth for a chapter master conversion. I would love to here some comments on my work. Take care, Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael240 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 im loving the land raider, specailly those doors a clsoe up of the missile launcher would be nice although those lascannons look a little lopsided to me, but that may jsut be the camera angle also you have a nice commander but again to blurry to see all detail correctly and im loving the assault SGT btw :lol: keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan454 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Thanks for the reply mate. I'll get a close up of the hunter killer tomorrow as well as a good shot of the captain. The lascannons are slightly lopsided because I made them moveable by not gluing them in. Thanks for the nice comment. I have started work on the 4 marines left from the tact squad but I'm only at priming stage at the moment. (includes ML and flamer) Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan454 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Sorry for the late reply i have been busy with LotR stuff. Here is the missile launcher and captain: http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2949.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2943.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2942.jpg And seth finally arrived so i have begun converting him (im going to take off the flesh tearer symbols): http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2936.jpg http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2937.jpg and the PIP tactical squad: http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2940.jpg C&C welcome.

Justicar Cirekon Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 i really like the what looks like a grey knight weapon, with the storm shield, i can't wait to see it painted, are those the marines i gave you? if they are then they look a damn lot better, he still hasn't given me the money for the land raider!

Vulkan454 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Thanks mate, I'm sorry to tell you this but he probably never will. We will just have to own him in fantasy. The middle two marines you gave and all the ones from the other half of the squad. They weren't painted to badly and the paint was thin which made them a hell of a lot easier to strip. Yeh that is one the GK weapons. And I forgot to mention he will just have the normal Seth backpack with the cool cape. Do you guys think the pose is natural enough though?

Vulkan454 Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Well the tactical squad is finally finished and based: http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2961.jpg As well as the termie and the assault marine (sorry, bad pic): http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/SpiritDragonalliance/Raptors%203rd%20Company/IMG_2958.jpg I will get started on seth soon as well as the assault sergeant. Please comment. Cheers Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mick Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Looks good so far but i think it will look even better to work with washe`s. Just a tip ofcourse ;) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan454 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Thanks for the reply. They do all have a badab black washe but my camera is pretty cr@p so it strips most of the washes out. But thanks anyway. Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
