Reviler Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi all. I'm new here on this forum. I have been solely a WFB player for years but have recently gone off it so have turned my attentions to the space marine army I wanted since i was 12 back in 1990! My plan is to do a 7th company space marine force from the Revilers chapter, a Raven Guard successor. I chose the 7th because i like tactical marines and speeders so where else would i go. The Revilers are detailed in the insignium astartes book and a predator is in the forge world armoured book so I knew the 'codex' look i wanted. The mission is to give them all the markings a space marine should have based on the codex. This means squad, company, chapter and army badges. I have been painting these for about 3 months now so have a section of the army done. So with out any further ado here are some photos. C&C is very welcome. tactical marines http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00672-1.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00694-001.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00696-001.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00698-001.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00736-001.jpg Sergeants http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00701-001.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00706-001.jpg Full squads: Squad 2 http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00703-001.jpg Their rhino http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00711.jpg Squad 5 http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00707-001.jpg Their rhino http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00679-001.jpg Speeder: squad 8 http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00774-001.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00763-001.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00768-001.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00776-001.jpg I have started work on the command squad, the apothecary and two veterans are done, once the last two are done i'll get some photos up.

Tellos05 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Aaahhhh a raven guard successor chapter you dont see many of them about. The purple works well with the grey. What colours are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reckoning Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Some very nice looking models you have there. Looking forward to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah-a-nothepsis Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Amazing! The freehand and clean bases really give character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasman Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Aaahhhh a raven guard successor chapter you dont see many of them about. Yes, the Revilers are seldom seen, maybe it's because freehand painting their insigna must be a royal pain, especialy if you want do build a large force. Congrats for this great paintjob to Reviler :D , must have been a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InFlames Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Another all grey beakie army; I love it sooo good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviler Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks for all the positive comments guys. It really helps to feel that other people like what you are doing. Got to love beakies, they are space marines to me, i've of that era and own an original rouge trader I got in 1990. For me marines without helmets is silly. So all my marines will have mk 6 helmets. I have been lazy on the metallic front. It is so limited on the marines i haven't highlighted or washed it at all. Always something I can drop back and do at some point. I have been cracking on with the Revilers. I have a tournament type get together at the end of May i'm aiming to get the army done to 1750pts by. Anyway here is the command squad as a group and individuals. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00817.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00740-001.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00754-001.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00813.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00689-001.jpg Also here is my assembled captain, ready for undercoating http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00818.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00819.jpg hope you like the progress. I am committed to finish the captain and the command squads razorback for the end of the month so an update will follow soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pall Ironbear Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Loving your work. I'm with you on the fact that "beakies" are THE space marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother of the Temple Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I really like the extreme highlight technique that you used. I also like all of the badges on them( squad,crusade,etc.). If you are doing an homage to rogue trader, shouldn't the sarges helmet have stripes going across the purple stripe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Top notch! Great Chapter selection, and you are a brave individual for doing all of their insignia in freehand. Love the all-Beakie heads, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviler Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 There is no such thing as too many revilers. very true, very true. update time again. Sorry for the delay but work has been crazy. It is the bigger job tender time of year so have been burning the midnight oil on paperwork. Anyway. Got the captain done. I have also first base coated the razorback. Mr Chumley Warner on W-E.com has said that my speeders are in so can finish the conversion of the turret which is having TLAC. I have also assembled 4 more tactical marines, only 5 on foot to go including the pointing finger MK6 sternguard metal model who is the sargeant Captain deVolt, CO of 7th Company of Reserve. Instigator of the Ventris IV Co-operative massacre http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00840.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00841.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00842.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00844.jpg I have tired out a painting technique on the power sword, only 75% happy with it. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC00845.jpg Need to finish the Razorback by the end of the month. Getting a couple of tactical marines done would be a bonus Hope you like, C&C on them welcome, especially the sword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasman Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hope you like, C&C on them welcome, especially the sword Nice effects on the sword, but a bit too flashy for my taste (I tend to prefer desaturated colors), but it's just a matter of...taste. Personally I would have applied a very light wash of Azurmen Blue over it to tone down the brightness of the colors. Maybe you can try and experiment this on spare bits (as applying washes might be tricky sometimes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellos05 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Im liking these more and more each time i look at them. nice job on the power sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMEagle Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Singularly the models do look nice and clean, but are a tad cartoony for my taste... but when put in a whole squad they do look damn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviler Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thanks plasman, first attempt at the effect and had had three large rums before painting. Will try it again I think. I'm not happy with the blue. There isn't any blue on the army. I'm thinking of doing it purple. Like the salamander captain in the codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviler Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Update time again. Have been cracking on with the Revilers, keeping to my painting challenge goals so I can get the army done for the Eurobash to 1750pts. So the last item on my February goal was the command squad Razorback so here it is. I converted the TL assault cannon from speeder AC's. It ;looks just like the land raider crusader turret. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC01720.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC01721.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC01719.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC01722.jpg I noticed in this photo that the decal is off centre so have moved this over now Lastly a close up of the turret http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC01723.jpg As you know I wast happy with the captains sword so repainted it in purple mirror effect. This is more in keeping with the army colour scheme and the company colour. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC01718.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC01717.jpg Went for a alternate mirror panel effect this time, like the salamaders captain in the codex. It looks better I think. C&C welcome. I treated myself and bought the IA8 book the other day. It focuses on the Raven guard, the Revilers parent chapter. It's production is great and the story of the raid is really good to. However i was a little disappointed in the amount of info on the Raven guard. It is mostly ork info. However the Revilers got a mention in the end so that made up for it a little. they are deploying in chapter strength to the Forsarr sector to fight orks and protect Deliverance, the Raven Guard home world. The background in the book really makes me want sniper scouts and landspeeder storms. A Little WIP shot: Tactical squad 3 (the last 9 marines on foot, one is done already) http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/Wissenlander/DSC01716.jpg I got the stern guard pointing figure for the sergeant. Thanks to DariusZero on W-E.com for sending me three more beaky heads as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purge Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Nice improvement on the sword. I've yet to get one that good. The black lines on the rhino look inconsistent. Try watering down the black and let it run into the cracks on it's own. I find it give a much more consistent line letting the water take the color where it need to go. I'm a fan of the beaky helmets keep it up! The troops look great. Should be great looking on a table top. When you get the sturnguard done please post. I'm interested to see how you make them stand out from the troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviler Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Thanks for the input Purge. I rushed the painting a little to meet a painting challenge deadline on the Razorback. I am not doing a unit of sternguard yet. They are just another tactical squad with the metal sternguard as a sergeant. I plan on doing a unit of vanguard vets. I was going to use the FW mark 6 marine for that complete MK6 look., including the studded left shoulder pad. As first company they will have completely white helmets. White beaks for veteran status, like the command squad, and white tops due to first company instead of the stripe of other companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JK- Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Generally I'm not a fan of such extreme highlighting, but these work fantastically well - good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
