AdamR Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 My first thread in PC&A! This is the first of my MKV armour assault squad for my Raven Guard. I'm trying (slowly) to build up a full battle company of Forgeworld armour. Painted to what I consider tabletop quality - pic is a bit grainy as its off my phone - will try to get some more tonight. Cheers Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Looks nicely painted, particularly the skin (never easy!). Looking forward to some better photos/other angles (and the rest of his squad, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Looks good - can't wait to see more. Are you going to use alot of mk6 suits or are you going to switch things up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I've got 2 tac squads a command squad and a devastator squad in MK6 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Finished pictures is good enough, brother. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazychib Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 What is your recipe/method for the skin? I'm going to be painting a couple faces real soon, and I'm lokking for ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 It's a good start but some more colour would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinvs Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Looks interesting. I would like to see pictures from another point, i.e. with Legio RG insignia, etc. In every case: more Raven Ruard army is realy good news :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 I singularly failed to get any good pics last night, as I instead moped around the house feeling sorry for myself with manflu/plague/the hanta virus/ebola/the black death... Grabbed some before coming to work (oh the joys of being self employed and not getting sick days...), but they're all really dark. Best of a bad bunch, one of my Company Champion I've deliberately kept my pallette very dark and muted. Most of the troops use the "low visibility" chapter icon from IA8 (so that'll be dark grey then...), with the exception of the Captain and command squad. I'm also using the old Index Astartes squad markings - Red right shoulder pad rim for assault, green for tactical and yellow for devastator. Elites/HQ get gold trim rather than white though - its hard to be a sneaky shadow warrior if someone has painted your arms and head bright white....

Rogan Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Man, I love Mk V armour! And I do like that Raven Guard Sarge - although those FW heads never really fit my idea of RG faces, but that's another story. How did you do the face? I definitely want to paint one of those guys now... The only thing I don't really like is the apparent lack of highlights. Might be due to the photo, but the Sarge's armour seems to be black and black only. Sorry if I do you wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
