THE GHOMA Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 This is my take on the Raptors chapter. Please bear with the crappy pics, the closest thing to a camera i have is on my phone and i'd rather use the money i have on other stuff, like more marines. Also the lighting doesn't seem to do these guys justice. I painted these before the IA came out so I was just winging it. The officers have bone helmets, these don't belong to a particular company. Please don't be too harsh, i'm shooting for tabletop quality. first off my commander (Gabriel Seth): I haven't picked a name for him yet, if anyone has any suggestions that would be appreciated. Also these pics are old, his helmet is also now bone colored. My Chaplain Dread: I didn't get too many pics of him, i'll add more if requested My Assault Sergeant: I won't post the others of his squad unless requested, they are very vanilla and aren't too unique in parts or poses. My whirlwind: Objective Marker My StormRaven: I added the scouts to the base because i wanted to have scouts in my army without having scouts. Also the base seemed pretty bland without them. There are much more models, but I don't have the time to take pictures of them. Like all of the others, i'll add them if requested, also you can see them in the army shot. Army shot: Notice the pre-made bases, i accidentally went overboard and made a bunch, fortunately it'll make the next building process much quicker. Also Astartes absolutely love Dr. Pepper, they're prepared to defend that billboard with their life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KfS Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Looking good. I've always thought the Raptors were badass. On a side note, I really love the color your walls are painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamo26 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Great atmosphere although I think that there needs to be more contrast. For example glowing eyes or some muted reds on the dread. Well anyway i think you've done better then tabletop great job. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schultzhoffen Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Pretty good. I particularly like the sparrow on the Stormraven. Nice humourous touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 i am starting a raptors army myself and could use some tips...how did you get your green color?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE GHOMA Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 The green is achieved by using Gretchin green, then give it a heavy wash of gryphonnie sepia, then a lgiht drybrush with kommando khaki, then bleached bone. Unfortunately the sparrow on the stormraven was never intented, my free hand is god awful, though that stormraven has yet to survive a game without being shot down so sparrow is probably more appropriate. Deit: Fixed the freehand to look a little better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Great looking growing collection. I like the way you've painted the canopies on the Stormraven. Just out of interest, why didn't you fancy leaving them transparent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE GHOMA Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Just out of interest, why didn't you fancy leaving them transparent? baby sister + finger paints + shiny clear things on table = *facepalm* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the closed in look – makes it look more 'armoured'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Task Force Gauntlet Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 They seem brown to me, is it the lighting? And those helmeted scouts look terrible, the normal helmets aren't proprtioned right for scouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those helmeted scouts look terrible, the normal helmets aren't proprtioned right for scouts. It's probably the lighting, they are more green than brown. Also the helmets are only temporary until i order some pig-iron heads. I just didn't want to put any headless scouts on the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Task Force Gauntlet Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Ok, the lighting had seemed bad. That makes sense with the scout heads now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
