KBA Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Again, guys, while you CAN find that raven in the empire box set perched on a shield, for this conversion, I used one that came on it's own as you see it (not sure what set it's from). I have the raven-on-sheild bit, but opted not to use it as the other one is exactly the same and ready to slap down wherever you'd like :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273272-kbas-raven-guard-tearing-out-the-carpet-3-10-14/page/3/#findComment-3389281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
death given form Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 That raven is probably from the plastic fantasy giant or possibly the corpse cart. Just a guess. These look awesome, loving the Lucerne hammer.

Drale Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Normally I hate the Corvous Amour Helmet but on these guys it looks great. Â Were did the crow on the Librarian's shoulder come from?

KBA Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Gaint or Empire box :)  Here's a couple shots of another Chaplain I'm doing for Grotsmasha's old challenge:  http://imageshack.us/a/img32/4436/rgchap2prog1.jpg  http://imageshack.us/a/img856/4815/rgchap2prog2.jpg  I know it's not much of an update, but I haven't been able to fiddle with bitz much this week, and when I get a chance and create something that makes me excited, I like to share it :)  Painted Tactical Member due at the end of this month!

KBA Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Reclusiarch Renn, 1st of his badge from Adeptus Astartes Raven Guard:   http://imageshack.us/a/img706/8516/fajr.jpg   http://imageshack.us/a/img822/4390/7qh3.jpg   http://imageshack.us/a/img109/1317/07hf.jpg   http://imageshack.us/a/img837/9999/z7lr.jpg  I wanted to go for a Chaplain in pretty well full Mk VI plate. So much of this bash comes from the LOTD finecast set: helmet, backpack, legs, chest gribblies, and left pad with the right pad stolen from Korvydae, the crozius a mish-mash of parts stemming from the Dark Angels power maul, and the drum-fed bolt pistol found in the Ravenwing command set. Magged the right wrist for plasma swap :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273272-kbas-raven-guard-tearing-out-the-carpet-3-10-14/page/3/#findComment-3399235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I prefer the bolt pistol because of the etched brass and drum magazine, but both versions look good. He should look interesting once painted. Â I believe there's a mould line on the crozius' generator, though (second picture).

The_Chaplain Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'm actually going to have to both agree and disagree with Knight of the Raven on this one, the square bulkiness of the bolt pistol is a harsh contrast to the rounded/conical aesthetic of the plasma pistol which visually ties in with the rounded edges of the armor, as well as the avian like helmet the chaplain is wearing. Â From a tabletop and fluff perspective though, I'd say go with the bolt pistol- because it keeps the models points down, and also a bolt pistol is much easier to scavenge ammunition for on a battlefield as opposed to the rarer battery cell for the plasma pistol. Â All that aside, that is a fantastic looking chaplain that has managed to meld both the avian theme of the ravian guard with the death motif associated with the chaplain's office in a space marine chapter.

Tyrannicide Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Hot damn, he's gorgeous! Â I prefer the bolt pistol. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273272-kbas-raven-guard-tearing-out-the-carpet-3-10-14/page/3/#findComment-3399754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Bolt pistol, definitely. A manly amount of beefiness but short enough not to overwhelm the otherwise slender design If you keep this up I may have to eat you and steal your powers. Or maybe just steal your bitz box Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273272-kbas-raven-guard-tearing-out-the-carpet-3-10-14/page/3/#findComment-3399758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBA Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Thanks for the kind words, brothers! Bolt pistol, definitely. A manly amount of beefiness but short enough not to overwhelm the otherwise slender design If you keep this up I may have to eat you and steal your powers. Or maybe just steal your bitz box Ain't that the truth! Hobby knife + Choice bitz = KBA's powers :). I'd really to hone my GS work, but have no idea where to start.

One-eye Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 He's really cool. I like this kind of subtle conversion with lots of details that you discover only in looking several times. Like his bolt pistol more btw. Can't wait to see him painted !

KBA Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Brothers! ...Still no paint.    http://imageshack.us/a/img138/9846/mzut.jpg  http://imageshack.us/a/img62/4164/xsjj.jpg  http://imageshack.us/a/img22/244/it60.jpg  http://imageshack.us/a/img713/5444/zye8.jpg  http://imageshack.us/a/img694/927/m00t.jpg  http://imageshack.us/a/img209/1174/s52j.jpg  http://imageshack.us/a/img16/3458/xpit.jpg   A few weeks ago I entered Grotsmasha's Captain Challenge before the board broke and have been making some headway on the big guy here and there since. I wanted to go for a Captain of the 8th, Lord Executioner of the assault reserve. I've always thought Astroth would make a decent base for a Raven Guard HQ: he's got those dark eyes and long locks. Cutting him out of his axe-to-your-face pose required some green stuff repair work on those locks. Since I'd most likely be running artificer armor in games, I wanted something that stood out amongst my force (which will mostly be made of Corvus armor). The Mk II legs have always looked great, but always felt a little short too. After truscaling them into a pose I liked better, I figure I'm going to have to do the same to the rest of my guys. Thanks to Heinrich for the tips on that process. Along with the leg armor, I wanted shoulder pads that screamed pre-heresy, and after dry fitting a cataphractii lightning claw arm, I found what I was looking for. I sawed the claw off the opposite arm and stuck the ancient looking FW fist on it. The look was starting to form! I opted out of the huge cover pads for the shoulders; what was there was enough for me, so I glued in the fast attack etched brass RG symbols on top of them to denote the Captain's office.  For the jump pack, I was going to leave the wings off, but after tacking them to the pack it topped off the look. He looks like he could stand-in for Corax himself in heresy games. He's still not done: I want to cork board him and maybe add a tabbard between his legs. Fluff and name will come when he's done! Thanks for looking :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273272-kbas-raven-guard-tearing-out-the-carpet-3-10-14/page/3/#findComment-3431101 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinsanity Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 First of, the raven is, IIRC, from the Garden of Morr box... Â And that Corax/Praetor/Captain is stunning, really love the composition! I was thrown off at first by the shoulder pads, but once you add the JP it really all fits together! Â Can't wait to see it painted!
